Manager software, updating the firmware on the device,
configuring connection methods, and communicating

5.1 Installing the VCI Manager software
The VCI Manager software is installed on the PC and
provides access to the GVCI-MXs located on your net-
work. The VCI Manager must be installed on the PC
in order to configure, update and run diagnostic ap-
plications targeted for the PC. Initially you use the VCI
Manager software to set up the configuration of each
GVCI-MX. The VCI Manager is also used to update the
firmware on the GVCI-MX. Use the following procedure

5.2.2 Identifying your VCI
The GVCI-MX label is located on the back of the

parts: a manufacturing code for traceability and a unique
serial number. The serial number is used to identify the
GVCI-MX in the VCI Manager software. You will need to
refer to this serial number when you are using VCI Man-
ager to configure the GVCI-MX and perform software
updates.

5.2.3 Updating the VCI software
The GVCI-MX is shipped from the factory without firm-
ware. Before operating your GVCI-MX we recommend to
check in VCI Manager to see, if a newer version of the
GVCI-MX firmware is available for your GVCI-MX. Your
first connection is to the PC where you have installed
VCI Manager software. You will need the USB cable to
configure your GVCI-MX using VCI Manager.
Use the following procedure to update the firmware on
your VCI.
1. Power on your GVCI-MX and connect it to the PC us-
ing the USB cable.

staled on the PC. If necessary update to the current
version.
3. Select the VCI Manager icon from the PC Desktop.
? The GVCI-MX will boot in Recovery Mode (only in
factory setup).
4. When you click on the new GVCI-MX, the Connect
button will change to the Recover button. Your
GVCI-MX will be displayed without the serial number
when initially connected to VCI Manager.
5. Select the Recover button to start the update pro-
cess.
6. Select the Start Update button to install firmware on
the GVCI-MX.
7. Do not unplug the GVCI-MX from the PC or remove
power from the GVCI-MX during the update process.
Select OK to continue.
8. The update process will take about 5 minutes to
complete. Once the update process is complete the
GVCI-MX will automatically reboot. Wait until you hear
the beep from the GVCI-MX before proceeding to use
your GVCI-MX.
