7.2.2 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 Man-
ager software. You will need to refer to this serial num-
ber when you are using VCI Manager to configure the VCI
and perform software updates.
7.2.3 Updating the VCI Software
The VCI is shipped from the factory without firmware.
Before operating your VCI we recommend visiting the
http://placeholder-link for ADT-website to see if a newer ver-
sion of the VCI firmware is available for your VCI. Your
first connection is to the PC where you have installed
VCI Manager software. You will need the USB cable to
configure your VCI using VCI Manager.
Use the following procedure to update the firmware on
your VCI.
1. Power on your VCI and connect it to the PC using the
USB cable.
2. Make sure, the current version of VCI Manager is in-
staled on the PC. If necessary update to the current
version.
3. Select the VCI Manager icon from the PC Desktop.
? The VCI will boot in Recovery Mode (only in fac-
tory setup).
4. When you click on the new VCI, the Connect button
will change to the Recover button. Your VCI will be
displayed without the serial number when initially
connected to VCI Manager.
5. Select the Recover button to start the update pro-
cess.
6. Select the Start Update button to install firmware on
the VCI.
7. Do not unplug the VCI from the PC or remove power
from the VCI during the update process. Select OK to
continue.
8. The update process will take about 5 minutes to
complete. Once the update process is complete the
VCI will automatically reboot. Wait until you hear the
beep from the VCI before proceeding to use your VCI.
7.2.4 Configuring the VCI using VCI Manager
In order to configure a VCI to communicate on your net-
work you must connect the VCI, via USB, to a PC running
VCI Manager software. The VCI Manager icon displayed
on the VCI will inform you of the communication method
to be used if the <Connect> button is selected.
