Installing the VCI Manager Software
The VCI Manager software is installed on the PC and
provides access to the VCIs located on your network.
The VCI Manager must be installed on the PC in order
to configure, update and run diagnostic applications
targeted for the PC. Initially you use the VCI Manager
software to set up the configuration of each VCI. The
VCI Manager is also used to update the firmware on the
VCI. Use the following procedure to install the VCI Ma-
nager software on your PC.
1.
Visit the Bosch Diagnostics OES website at the
following address to determine if a newer version of
VCI Manager software is available for your device. If
the software on the website is newer than that inclu-
ded on the Installation CD, download the software
to your computer.

vice/downloads.htm
2.
If you downloaded the software from the website,
double-click the downloaded file and follow the
instructions on the screen. Otherwise, Place the
VCI Software Installation CD into your CD drive and
launch the VCI Manager installation program. The
InstallShield Wizard starts and guides you through
the software installation.
3.
The InstallShield wizard displays a panel indicating
that the program is ready to be installed. Click Install
to proceed with the installation. A progress bar
shows the status of the installation. [You can click
Cancel if you want to halt the installation process.
You are prompted to respond if you are sure you
wish to cancel the installation.]
4.
Click Finish to complete the installation. The InstallS-
hield Wizard places the VCI Manager icon on your
desktop.
5.2
Setting Up the VCI Hardware
Your first connection is to the PC where you have in-
stalled VCI Manager software. You will need the USB
cable to configure your VCI using VCI Manager.
5.2.1
Identifying Your VCI
The VCI label is located on the back of the VCI. The VCI
identification number has two parts: a manufacturing
code for traceability and a unique serial number. The
serial number is used to identify the VCI in the VCI
Manager software. You will need to refer to this serial
number when you are using VCI Manager to configure
the VCI and perform software updates.
5.2.2
Updating the VCI Software
The MTS 6513 VCI is shipped from the factory with a
base version of firmware. Before operating your VCI we
recommend visiting the following Bosch Diagnostics
OES website to see if a newer version of the VCI firm-
ware is available for your VCI.

vice/downloads.htm
Use the following procedure to update the firmware on
your VCI.
1.
Select the VCI Manager icon from the PC Desktop.
Before proceeding to the next step, make sure your
VCI is powered on and the VCI is connected to the
PC using the USB cable.
2.
Select the Update VCI button to start the update
process. [Note, at this time, you are only able to
update your VCI using the USB connection. Wi-Fi
firmware updates are not enabled.]
3.
Verify VCI Serial Number and the firmware version
information is correct.
4.
Select the Start Update button.
5.
Do not unplug the VCI from the PC or remove power
from the VCI during the update process. Select OK
to continue.
6.
The update process will take about 12 minutes to
complete. Once the update process is complete the
VCI will automatically reboot. Wait until you hear the
beep from on the VCI before proceeding to use your
VCI.
5.2.3
Configuring the VCI Using VCI Manager
In order to configure a VCI to communicate on your
network you must connect the VCI, via USB, to a PC
running VCI Manager software. Use the following steps
to configure your VCI.
The VCI Manager icon displayed on the MTS 6513 will
inform you of the communication method to be used if
<connect> button is selected.
Refer to the VCI Manager ICON Chart on the next page.
