Checking Cdr 900 Firmware - Bosch CDR 900 User Manual

en en 12 | CDR 900 | Product Description
tions presented by the above may not be resolved
by Bosch and subsequent operation of the wireless
features may not be possible.
i
The range of the CDR 900 wireless may reach up
to 100 meters with no obstructions between the
CDR 900 and PC; however, this range cannot be
guaranteed as it can vary based on background RF
(radio frequency) noise in the environment it is used.
Also, keep in mind that the number, thickness and
location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the
wireless signals must pass through may limit the
range and data communication rates significantly. To
ensure proper operation with the CDR Software, it is
recommended not to exceed 10 meters between the
CDR 900 and PC.
4.15.1 Changing the Wireless Point-to-Point Pass-
Phrase
A default wireless pass-phrase is provided through the
CDR 900 VCI Manager software and does not need to
be entered during Point-to-Point wireless setup. If you
have the need to reset your pass-phrase, you can use
the following steps. The following steps assume you are
running the Windows 7 operating system on your PC.
1. On the right-hand side of the Windows Task Bar,
click the View Wireless Networks button. A list of the
available wireless networks in range of your PC is
displayed.
2. Select Open Network and Sharing Center.
3. Select Manage Wireless Networks from the left
column.
4. Select Change adapter menu and choose CDR 900
from the list.
5. Remove your stored Point-to-Point network. The
name will contain CDR 900 and the last 8 digits of
the CDR 900 serial number, (CDR 900 xxxxxxx).
6. When you reconnect the CDR 900 to the PC using
the USB cable, a new pass-phrase will be establis-
hed.

Checking CDR 900 Firmware

The CDR Tool software has a Test CDR 900 option
which connects to the application to the registered
CDR 900 and verifies the device can be communicated
with and that is has the latest software. Users must en-
sure that the CDR 900 is connected via the USB cable
and 12V power is applied to the CDR 900 before testing
the device.
If the CDR 900 firmware needs to be updated, the user
will be notified via a popup screen and asked if they
wish to reprogram the device. The user may choose to
update at that time or reprogram the CDR 900 at a later
time using the Program CDR 900 from the Setup menu.

CDR 900 Software can only be updated when con-
nected to the PC with the USB cable and not through a
wireless connection.
4.16.1 Set Factory Default for Wireless
Selecting the Set Factory Default button on the Net-
work Setup tab of the CDR 900 VCI Manager reconfig-
ures your CDR 900 to the Point-to-Point communica-
tions settings it had when it left the factory. Any soft-
ware upgrades that have been installed to the CDR 900
are still installed. When the CDR 900 reset is finished,
the CDR 900 VCI Manager software displays the VCI
Explorer tab. All wireless AP configurations will be lost.
4.17 Power On Self-Test (POST)
When you first apply power to a CDR 900 with firm-
ware, the Power On Self-Test (POST) runs. You should
observe a sequence of lights and hear the "BEEP' indi-
cating that the CDR 900 is working properly.
If a failure occurs, one long audible beep will be heard
and a Test Failure light sequence displays which in-
cludes the red Error LED.
4.18 Connecting the CDR 900 to a Vehicle
The CDR 900 kit includes an interface cable (CDR 900
Power and Interface Cable) and a DLC/OBD J1962 Ca-
ble. These cables are used to connect the CDR 900 to
the vehicle's SAE J1962 Data Link Connector (DLC).
Refer to the electrical wiring diagram for the vehicle
you are testing to determine the location of the DLC on
the vehicle.
1. Connect the 26-pin end of the CDR 900 Power and In-
terface cable to the top of the CDR 900, then tighten
the screws.
2. Connect the DLC/OBD J1962 to the CDR 900 Power
and Interface cable
3. Connect the 16-pin end of the J1962 cable to the
vehicle DLC connector.
