5.3 Setting Up Network Communications
The MTS 6520 VCI is capable of communicating on your
workshop network over USB, Wireless and Ethernet.
The Network Setup tab in the VCI Manager software
provides a number of functions used to select and con-
figure the VCI network connection interfaces including
wireless access and security settings.
You must be connected to the VCI via USB to access the
settings on the Network Setup tab. If you are not con-
nected via USB, the controls on the Network Setup tab
are disabled.
5.3.1 Enabling Wired Ethernet - LAN with Network
Router (Straight Ethernet Cable)
Before modifying the VCI communications interface,
contact your IT Administrator. You need to know if your
LAN automatically assigns IP addresses. If not, you need
to obtain an IP Address and Subnet Mask to assign to
your VCI.
Many offices and workshops have computers connected
together using Ethernet cables, network routers, and
other items such as printers and modems (e.g., internet
connection for email). The Illustration below shows
one computer connected to a network router which
is then connected to two VCIs. In an actual network
there will typically be several computers connected to
network routers allowing any of the computers to and
control one of the VCIs.
