Setting up the AVIT
Powering AVIT
First, determine how the AVIT will receive power:
a)
Vehicle power: Connect the AVIT to the vehicle diagnostic connector.
b)
Bench top power supply: When using the AVIT on a bench, put power on pin 8 (VBATT) and ground
on pin 6 (Ground).
When AVIT is first powered-on, the lights will cycle through a self-test procedure. Remember that the
AVIT does not receive power from your PC’s Ethernet port. The 2 USB ports are host ports; they provide
power to your USB device.
Connecting and Configuring AVIT
Second, connect the
AVIT
to your PC:
Using Ethernet
We strongly recommend
AVIT
’s default Client then Server mode, because no configuration
changes would be required when moving the
AVIT
between LAN and in-vehicle use.
To a Laptop Directly
Connect the direct-connect Ethernet cable (blue with red ends) between a PC and the
AVIT
.
This is a crossover type, intended to connect directly to a computer.
To an Existing LAN
Connect the standard Ethernet cable (black). On most LANs,
AVIT
can obtain its IP address
automatically using DHCP. Ask your network administrator if this service is available on your
network.
User-Configurable Options for Ethernet Users
The
AVIT
offers web-based configuration. Start a web browser and type
http://avit/
in the
location bar.
!
Some areas of the AVIT website are password protected. Please enter
user name “root” and password “powerful” to gain access to these
areas.
To reset configuration to default, select “Boot Options” and click the “Load Factory Default
Settings” button. If all else fails, hold down the black button on the front of the unit while
powering on
AVIT
to enter recovery mode.
Installing Drivers on the Laptop / PC for Ethernet
Finally, install the driver software on your computer and select the
AVIT
as a PassThru (SAE
J2534) vehicle interface:
1.
On the PC, start a web browser and enter

file, under the section
heading "
