Cable Setup #1 - To Be Used If The Network Is Not Operational (Using GT1)

This setup may be used temporarily if the network is not operative, there are not enough LAN wall drops or network IP addresses are in conflict. The vehicle is direct wired to the OPPS and the GT1, which is direct wired to the printer via the USB A/B cable (1 piece supplied to every center with the first GT1 delivered). The USB printer cable can stay attached to the printer even if the printer is working on a network. The printer configuration must be changed to "Local printer" in the GT1.

NOTE: This setup requires a direct USB cable connection to the printer. This greatly limits GT1 mobility and will not allow the update of diagnostic programs via the network, which will be available as of the third quarter of 2002. It should only be used as an exception for the reasons stated above. This setup may also be used for E65/E66 programming.

  4. Attach the free end of the DK LAN cable (Orange connector) to the OPPS (1 below).
  5. Attach the chrome connector end of OBD cable (short) 663 111 to OPPS connector (2). This OBD cable is used for diagnosis and for CIP programming.
  6. Establish communication with the vehicle via the usual procedure. OPPS takes slightly longer to perform the "self test" than the DISplus/GT1 head.
