Icon Description
Wireless Point-to-Point is not set up. Connect
CDR 900 to the PC using USB cable to complete
setup.
Wireless adapters in the PC and in the Tester
are incompatible with each other.
Once the CDR 900 is able to communicate with your PC
the CDR application all you need to do is register the
device with the CDR Tool Software and then it is ready
to use.
4.14.2 Registering the CDR 900
The CDR Tool Software requires a CDR 900 device to
be registered before downloading EDR data from sup-
ported vehicles. Follow the steps below to register you
CDR 900 with the CDR Software. If you wish to use
another CDR 900 device after one is already registered
then you will need to un-register it and register the new
device in its place. Registration can only be completed
when the CDR 900 is connected to the PC with the USB
cable and 12V power is supplied to it. Registration can-
not be performed over wireless connection.
1. Launch CDR Tool Software version 17.8 or newer.
2. Connect the CDR 900 to your PC using the USB
cable. Make sure you also provide 12V power to the
device.
3. Select Register a Device from the Register CDR 900
Device selection from the CDR Tool Software Setup
menu
4. Your device will be registered and is evident when
viewing the dropdown menu under Register CDR
Devices (see below)
To un-register a device, simply select Un-Register Your
Device from the same menu selection and your CDR 900
information will be removed.
4.15 Setting Up Wireless Communications
(software)
The CDR 900 is capable of communicating with a PC
over a Point-to-Point wireless connection. This connec-
tion requires the use of the two Wireless 802.11 Don-
gles (P/N: 1699200155) which may have been included
in your CDR kit or can be purchase separately. Refer
to section 5.2.2 CDR 900 Wireless Setup (Hardware) for
setting up your CDR 900 and PC hardware to communi-
cate wirelessly. This section describes how to get your
CDR 900 software to communicate wirelessly over a
Point-to-Point network and assumes the wireless dong-
les are already installed.
The following illustration shows a CDR 900 connected
to a laptop PC using Point-to-Point Wireless communi-
cation.
Note that the steps presented below assume you are
running Windows 7 operating system on your PC. The
steps for other versions of the Windows operating sys-
tem may be slightly different.
1. Connect the CDR 900 to your PC using the USB
cable. Do not plug the CDR 900 USB cable into a
USB hub.
2. Apply 12V power to CDR 900 Power and Interface
Cable then allow the CDR 900 to boot completely
(listen for the beep).
3. Launch the CDR Tool Software and select Program
CDR 900 from the Setup menu. This step launches
the CDR 900 VCI Manager Software.
4. Click the CDR 900 Icon in the view and click Con-
nect.
5. Remove the USB cable from the PC and CDR 900
and you should be connected wirelessly. You will
see the following icon in the CDR 900 VCI Manager
screen confirming a wireless connection.
6. The next time you apply 12V power to the CDR 900
either through a DLC/OBD connection to a vehicle or
when 12V power is supplied to the CDR 900 directly
to the CDR 900 cable, the wireless connection is
automatically configured. As long as your CDR 900 is
registered prior to setting up the wireless, the CDR
Tool application is ready to connect to the device
when applicable.
! IMPORTANT: Wireless connections between the CDR
900 and PC may not be supported on all PC and net-
work configurations including PCs running a Virtual
Private Network (VPN). This is not due to limitations
of the CDR 900 hardware and software but may be
due to the user's PC, corporate network and secu-
rity requirements and settings. Operation limita-
