Your VCI kit is the Wireless-Point-to-Point kit (p/n
1699200117) which includes the MTS 6513 VCI as-
sembly with two D-Link Wireless 802.11 b/g/n USB
Adapters.
The following illustration shows a single VCI connected
to a laptop PC using Point-to-Point Wireless communi-
cation.
Use the following procedure to configure your VCI for
Point-to-Point Wireless communication. Note that the
steps presented below assume you are running the Win-
dows 7 ,8 or 10 operating system on your PC. The steps
for other versions of the Windows operating system
may be slightly different.

Insert the Wireless USB adapter in an available USB
port on your PC. Power-on your PC.
2.
Wait for the USB driver to be automatically configu-
red during the first time the USB dongle is inserted
in the PC USB Port.
Power up the VCI by connecting the VCI to the
vehicle DLC.
Note, powering the VCI using the USB cable only
does not supply enough voltage to run the WiFi
Dongle.
Allow the VCI to boot completely
3.
Start the VCI Manager software by double-clicking
the icon on the PC desktop.
4.
The VCI Icon in the VCI Explorer tab should now
have green bars displayed on top of the VCI Icon
(see chart in section 8.4 for an example of what
the green bars look like as well as other icons that
could be displayed).
The green bars indicate that PC sees the VCI in
wireless mode. You can also move your mouse
over the VCI Icon icon in the VCI Explorer tab and
bubble help will display how the VCI is connected
to the PC.

Select the VCI with Green bars in the VCI Manager
Explorer tab and click the <connect> button. ->
Once connected, a green check mark will replace
the green bars. The green check mark confirms the
VCI is communicating P-to-P with the PC. Once
connected, select the Disconnect button and close
the VCI Manager application.

Set Factory Default Settings
Selecting the Set Factory Default button on Network
Setup tab reconfigures your VCI to the Point-to-Point

Any software upgrades that have been installed to the
VCI are still installed.

Power On Self-Test (POST)
When you first apply power to the VCI, the Power On
Self-Test (POST) runs. You should observe activity on
the LCD display and hear the audible “BEEP’ indicating
that the VCI is working properly.
When the start-up phase is finished the green Power
LED is permanently on and the four status indicator
symbols are shown along the bottom edge of the LCD
display.

The MTS 6513 Vehicle Communication Interface kit con-
tains the J1962 16/26 pin Data Link Connector (DLC)
cable to connect the VCI to the vehicle.
Refer to the electrical wiring diagram for the vehicle you
are testing to determine the location and type of Data
Link Connector (DLC) installed on the vehicle.

or by the USB cable connected to your PC.
To use the Vehicle Battery, connect the VCI directly to
the vehicle using the DLC cable.
To use USB power, connect the VCI to your PC using
the USB cable.
