Equipment Configurations

The diagnostic and programming equipment available in the workshop should always be configured to have the DISplus, GT1 and SSS connected directly to the LAN/Workshop network. To ensure uninterrupted service/data transmission, it is highly recommended that the radio/wireless connection of the diagnostic head is NOT used to perform any type of Programming or Coding function.

The normal configuration (when coding or programming) of the DISplus & GT1 to the diagnostic/OPPS/OPS head are as follows:

DISplus (1) - Connected to network using SI LAN cable (2)

+ Diagnostic/OPPS/OPS head (3) - Connected to network using DK LAN cable (4)

+ OBD or Diagnostic plug cable - Connecting diagnostic head to vehicle

GT1 (1) - Connected to network using SI LAN cable (3) and LAN adapter BT1:1 (2)

+ Diagnostic/Opps head (5) - Connected to network using DK LAN cable (4)

+ OBD or Diagnostic plug cable - Connecting diagnostic head to vehicle.

NOTE: For optimum programming speed the OPPS/OPS head (5) can be substituted for the diagnostic head:

+ Connect OPPS/OPS head (5) directly to a network drop via a DK LAN cable (4)

+ Connect OPPS/OPS head to the OBD connector using the short OBD cable P/N 663 111

In the event that the workshop network is disabled/down the DISplus and GT1 can still be used to diagnose a vehicle by utilizing the following configurations:

GT1 (1) - Not connected to network

+ Diagnostic/OPPS head (5) - Connected to GT1 using DK LAN cable (4) and LAN adapter BT1:1(2) plus LAN adapter BT X (3))

+ OBD or Diagnostic plug cable (5) Connecting diagnostic head to vehicle

DISplus (1) - Not connected to network

+ Diagnostic/OPPS/OPS head (3) - Connected to DISplus using DK LAN cable (4) and PC LAN cable (2)

+ OBD or Diagnostic plug cable - Connecting diagnostic head to vehicle
