About the user manual
The manual contains information about VCI4 for safe operation and is primarily aimed at users of
VCI4.
A prerequisite for communication between a computer and VCI4 is that there is already a functioning
wireless network in the IT environment. Settings for the IT environment are not described here, apart
from a few specific details. How the network should be set up is described in the following
documents:
• SWS:03 Workshop Communicator Unit (WCU) – network configuration and installation wizard
• SWS:05 WCU installation in the workshop
The documents can be downloaded from TIL (Technical Information Library). The documents are
primarily intended for network and workshop administrators.
