You can operate XENTRY Diagnostics<\/a> Open Shell using the SDconnect, too. To configure this hardware,please proceed as follows:
\nStart ConfigAssist by clicking on the button with the same name on your desktop (if you have restarted\u00a0your system, the hardware selection window will appear first).
\nSelect \u201cSDconnect\u201d if you are asked for the used hardware:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A conventional crossover Ethernet cable is required for connection of the SDconnect\u00a0with the system via LAN. A suitable cable (green) is provided in the scope of delivery.<\/p>\n

There are two possibilities for connecting the SDconnect and the system via the Ethernet cable:
\n\u2013 direct connection between two Ethernet connections (see section 3.2.2)
\n\u2013 connection with the help of a USB2LAN adapter to the system or via a USB2LAN cable
\nThe LAN connection of the SDconnect<\/a> is located on the right side under a protective cap.
\nNote:
\nPlease ensure that the SDconnect is restarted before configuration and not in sleep mode. It is best to\u00a0fully charge the SDconnect beforehand<\/p>\n

Configuring a direct Ethernet connection<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the configuration of the LAN connection use the following values (static TCP\/IP):
\nIP address on the PC (LAN connection on the PC to the SDconnect): 172.29.127.X\u00a0(\u201cX\u201d stands for a number between 1 and 254).
\nPlease note that the number automatically given for the SDconnect 172.29.127.129\u00a0cannot be used for the PC.
\nThe PC subnet mask (LAN connection on the PC to the SDconnect) has the IP address 255.255.0.0 and\u00a0should not be modified.
\nImportant: Please configure your firewall to permit the communication of your system with the SDconnect (you will normally be prompted to do so the first time you connect the SDconnect via a cable connection). Please note that in the case of a direct Ethernet connection the LAN port can no longer be used for another connection!
\nWhen using DoIP, please also observe the additional firewall settings for the DoIP connection.<\/p>\n

Configuring a USB2LAN connection<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a cable connection via the USB2LAN adapter, this adapter must be configured in Windows.
\nWe differentiate between
\n\u2013 The installation or modification of the drivers for the USB2LAN adapter
\n\u2013 The configuration of the network connection via the USB2LAN adapter
\nThe driver for the adapter must be installed using Windows dialogs. Any changes to the driver\u00a0also need to be carried out using Windows processes and dialogs.
\nFor the initial configuration of the adapter or when modifying the driver setup, basic knowledge of how to work with Windows components and drivers is required. Please consult your local
\nIT administrator in case of any uncertainty! The support centers for the XENTRY Diagnostics Open Shell\u00a0systems cannot provide support for the configuration of drivers or Windows!<\/p>\n

Installation of the USB2LAN adapter driver<\/strong><\/p>\n

To install the driver for the USB2LAN adapter, start by connecting the adapter to the computer without\u00a0connecting the green cable to the SDconnect at the other end. Make sure that the computer is online,i.e. that the Internet connection is working properly.<\/p>\n

Automatic driver installation \u2013 first-time installation
\nIf you want to connect the adapter to the computer for the first time, start the automatic Windows driver\u00a0installation (Windows 7 and later versions). The driver only needs to be installed once the first time that\u00a0you connect the adapter. Please proceed with caution since communication is not possible if the\u00a0configuration of the USB2LAN adapter between the computer and SDconnect\u00a0is absent or incorrect. The drivers for the adapter may need to be uninstalled and reinstalled\u00a0or reconfigured manually.<\/p>\n

Important: It may not be immediately clear whether Windows is attempting to install the driver for the first time or whether the system immediately uses the driver after (repeatedly) reinserting the adapter, since Windows hides these status messages in the Windows tray in the default setting.
\nWith the first connection attempt, Windows will attempt to identify the driver software and download it\u00a0from a website containing drivers online. Windows will display a notification\u00a0for a number of seconds in the Windows tray during these actions:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you do not promptly click the dialog balloon, Windows will hide the symbol in the windows tray behind\u00a0the small arrow symbol:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After clicking the symbol, Windows will show additional information:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is important to install the driver for the device \u201cUSB-MAC Controller\u201d.
\nPlease wait until Windows has identified and downloaded the required drivers online.
\nThis can take some time \u2013 do not terminate the process!
\nAt the end of the process Windows will notify you of the results of the driver installation:
\n\u2013 Installation successful, device is ready for use
\n\u2013 Installation unsuccessful
\nAfter a successful installation, you can start to configure the adapter immediately<\/p>\n

Automatic driver installation \u2013 later installation
\nIf you accidentally terminated installation the first time you plugged in the adapter or if the installation\u00a0failed (e.g. because the computer was offline), you need to install the drivers again. This may also be\u00a0necessary after you have connected the adapter to a different USB port than the port first used.
\nTo install the driver at a later stage, you will need to click on \u201cDevices and Printers\u201d in the Windows\u00a0Control Panel, then \u201cOther Devices\u201d (or potentially \u201cNetwork Adapters\u201d) and \u201cUSB-MAC Controller\u201d. The\u00a0entry \u201cUSB-MAC Controller\u201d will very likely be shown with a yellow exclamation point, since there is a\u00a0driver problem.
\nIf the USB2LAN adapter has been partially installed (incorrectly), it can be found in the Device Manager\u00a0under \u201cNetwork Adapter\u201d and otherwise under \u201cOther Devices\u201d.
\nImportant: The \u201cUSB-MAC Controller\u201d only appears under \u201cOther Devices\u201d or \u201cNetwork Adapter\u201d when it\u00a0is plugged in!
\nRight-click on the entry \u201cUSB-MAC Controller\u201d. The context menu will open. Here, select \u201cUpdate driver\u00a0software\u201d:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you select \u201cUpdate driver software\u201d in the context menu, if the computer is online you
\ncan choose \u201cSearch automatically for updated driver software\u201d. Otherwise, please select\u00a0\u201cBrowse my computer for driver software\u201d:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Selecting \u201cSearch automatically for updated driver software\u201d will run the automatic installation process\u00a0as described above.<\/p>\n

Manual driver installation \u2013 later installation
\nIf the initial automatic driver installation failed or the later automatic installation was also unsuccessful\u00a0or if the system is generally not online, the drivers for the USB2LAN adapter
\nmust be installed manually.
\nNote: The driver software for the USB2LAN adapter is supplied on every update DVD\/BD.
\nStart by determining whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. Go to\u00a0the \u201cControl Panel\u201d and \u201cSystem\u201d in the Windows Start Menu. There you will find information on the\u00a0system type:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As described above for the \u201cAutomatic driver installation \u2013 later installation\u201d, open the menu item\u00a0\u201cUpdate driver software\u201d for the USB2LAN adapter in the Windows Device Manager.
\nIn the dialog, select \u201cBrowse my computer for driver software\u201d, insert the installation DVD\/BD and\u00a0browse the disc manually to locate the following folder:
\n\u2013 \u201cUSB2LAN Driver\\Windows 7\\64 bit\u201d (for Windows 7 64-bit) or
\n\u2013 \u201cUSB2LAN Driver\\Windows 7\\32 bit\u201d (for Windows 7 32-bit).
\nPlease select your specific Windows version if not \u201cWindows 7\u201d when applicable.
\nWindows then installs the driver offline from the selected folder.
\nNormally you only need to select the folder and Windows will automatically find the required driver files. If\u00a0this should fail, please select the corresponding *.inf file in the folder (\u201cnetmosu.inf\u201d for 32-bit,\u00a0\u201cUSBMAC64.inf\u201d for 64-bit).<\/p>\n

Configuration of the USB2LAN adapter and SDconnect for cable operation
\nBefore configuring the USB2LAN adapter, the driver installation must be completed successfully. Make\u00a0sure that the adapter is connected and that no error is indicated in the Windows tray (yellow exclamation\u00a0point, installation of device drivers, etc.)
\nPlease note:
\nAlways plug the USB2LAN adapter into the USB port used to install the driver.
\nThe USB2LAN adapter may not be recognized by a different slot.
\nSwitch on the SDconnect and wait until it has started up. Ensure that the SDconnect is connected to an\u00a0external power supply or to the vehicle via the OBD cable to receive power.
\nThe SDconnect must not go to sleep during configuration!<\/p>\n

The configuration consists of three main steps:
\n\u2013 Establishing the connection
\n\u2013 Assigning a manual IP address to the USB2LAN adapter
\n\u2013 Configuring the connection via SDconnect Administration.<\/p>\n

Establishing the connection<\/strong>
\nConnect the green Ethernet cable to the SDconnect and then to the USB2LAN adapter.
\nWindows will now attempt to establish a network connection between the computer and SDconnect\u00a0via the adapter and the cable. This may take a few moments.
\nThe connection status is not immediately visible. To check the status, you may go to the Windows Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections. With a successful connection,the LAN connection of the \u201cHigh Speed USB-Ethernet Adapter\u201d will be fully functional (i.e. no red \u201cX\u201d; no yellow exclamation point). If you use the context menu to call up the \u201cStatus\u201d for this adapter and \u201cNo Network Connection\u201d is shown, an IP address should still be entered under \u201cDetails\u2026\u201d and \u201cAuto configuration \u2026\u201c<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Assigning a manual IP address
\nCall up the connection properties of the using the USB2LAN adapter from the Windows Control Panel >Network and Internet > Network Connections (Adapter \u201cHighSpeed USB-Ethernet Adapter\u201d) by doubleclicking or using the context menu (\u201cProperties\u201d).
\nSelect the \u201cInternet protocol Version 4 (TCP\/IPv4)\u201d and click \u201cProperties\u201d. Select \u201cUse the following\u00a0IP address:\u201d and enter this information:
\nIP address: 172.29.127.X
\nSubnet mask: 255.255.0.0
\nPlease note that \u201cX\u201d stands for a number between 1 and 254. The default address automatically assigned\u00a0to the SDconnect 172.29.127.129 cannot be used for the adapter!
\nLeave all other entries in the window the same and close the dialogs with \u201cOK\u201d.
\nIf Windows determines that the assigned static IP address is already in use, please choose a different IP\u00a0address, i.e. a different number for the \u201cX\u201d above.<\/p>\n

Connection configuration
\nIf the connection with the manual IP address has been established, you still need to assign a specific\u00a0number to the SDconnect.
\nCall up the SDconnect Administration (Start > All Programs > Mercedes-Benz). Click on the SDconnect\u00a0entry with an unknown or not yet assigned number and wait for the SDconnect data to be loaded. Under\u00a0\u201cSelect name\u201d choose any number that is NOT assigned to a different SDconnect in your workshop. Use\u00a0the number clips included with delivery to label the device.
\nSave your entry by clicking \u201cStart\u201d and exit the SDconnect Administration after confirming that the program has applied the data.
\nAfter successful configuration of the cable connection to the SDconnect:
\nNumerous icons in the Windows tray show the status of the SDconnect (system restart may be required).If an SDconnect is connected, the icons display the number of the SDconnect (here: 10), the connection\u00a0type (Wi-Fi) as well as a padlock icon:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You may have to adjust the settings of the Windows tray in order to see these icons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
