Using Ethernet 

CarDAQ-Plus’s  default  “Client  then  Server“  mode  is  strongly 
recommended.  No  configuration  changes  are    required  when  moving 
the CarDAQ-Plus 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 CarDAQ-Plus. This is a crossover type, intended to connect 
directly to a computer. 

To an Existing LAN 

Connect  a  standard  Ethernet  cable.  On  most  LANs,  CarDAQ-Plus  can 
obtain  its  IP  address  automatically  using  DHCP.  Ask  your  network 
administrator if this service is available on your network. 

Vehicle Connector 

The  mating  connector  is  a  standard 
MVCI, High Density DB-26.
