Pos. Description
1 LED error indicator, vehicle and pc host communication
2 LED Indicator Power
5.5 Universal Serial Bus (USB)
The VCI has a fixed USB configuration which cannot be
changed. This ensures that the VCI can always be con-
nected to a single PC running the VCI Manager software
so you can configure WLAN settings required by your
local network. In addition, it is important to note that
a USB connection is required to configure and update
the firmware on the VCI. USB connection must be made
directly with the PC port. Do not connect through a USB
hub.
5.6 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
The 802.11g WLAN connection on the VCI is set up and
configured while the device is connected over USB to a
PC running the VCI Manager software.
5.7 VCI Manager Software
The VCI Manager software is a host computer application
which runs on the Microsoft Windows operating system
to configure and update VCIs. The VCI Manager software
allows the configuration of VCI-to-host PC communica-
tions and facilitates VCI firmware updates.

5.8 Additional VCI Features
5.8.1 Data Link Connector and Cable
The Data Link Connector Cable is the external test equip-
ment (OBD) cable that connects the VCI to the vehicle's
SAE J1962 Data Link Connector (DLC).
5.8.2 Power Source
The VCI is intended to be powered from the vehicle bat-
tery via the DLC Cable for normal use. If the VCI does
not have sufficient power (12 V) to perform vehicle diag-
nostics, the VCI will inform you of insufficient power for
diagnostics by blinking the Vehicle LED in the color Red.
This scenario can be seen when the VCI is only powered
from the 5 V USB connection to the PC.
The VCI may be powered over USB only to perform firm-
ware updates from your PC. 12 V power can be supplied
by the vehicle DLC.
Some IMPORTANT information about powering your
VCI:
• 12 V is required for Vehicle Communication
• 12 V is required for Wireless Configuration and use
• 5 V or 12 V required for VCI firmware Update or Re-
covery
