APPENDIX C SETUP WITH DATALINK

Datalink is a software tool that can be used for system setup and

conﬁguration. Although most of these functions can be performed

with the color CANtrak display, experienced users may ﬁnd it quicker

to use Datalink for these tasks.

C.1 Dealer Tools

To use Datalink with an i7700 system you will need the following

items, supplied with kit EPSK1206:

• IXXAT USB to CAN converter, part #214720

• Programming harness, 6-pin FCI to serial, part #CM21010

• Programming harness, DeviceNet to serial, part #CM21106

You will also need a Windows

–compatible notebook computer with

Datalink installed on it. See Appendix D for information on how to

download and install the latest version of the software.

C.2 Connection

Procedure

1. Connect the notebook computer to an unused CAN2 network port

using the CAN2 programming harness as shown in ﬁgure C-1. If

necessary an additional tee may be installed but must be removed

or capped after use. If the spare tee is left in the system, there must

still be one (and only one) terminator at each end of the CAN2 bus.

2. Turn on the notebook computer and open the Datalink program

located on the desktop.

3. Once Datalink opens, the Interfaces section of the Workspace

should become populated with components connected to the

network. If not, double click on Optimus CAN2 in the protocols

section. The components should turn green as communication

is established. See ﬁgure C-2 to familiarize yourself with the

Datalink workspace.

4. Double-clicking on any of the components will enter the conﬁguration

pages for that particular component.

5. Before proceeding with the setup, verify that the ﬁrmware revisions

are up to date for each of the components. Refer to Appendix D

for instructions on checking and updating ﬁrmware revisions.

NOTICE

Always make sure the latest version of Datalink is installed and in

use. Check www.optimusdealers.com for latest program revision.
