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 run-
ning VCI Manager software. Use the following steps to
configure your VCI.
1. Double-click the VCI Manager icon on your desktop
to launch the VCI Manager software.
2. In the VCI Manager software VCI Explorer tab, select
the VCI in the Detected VCIs window. Click the Show
Details button to see details about the selected VCI.
3. Click the Connect button to connect to the selected
VCI over USB. The VCI is displayed with a green
check mark on your display indicating that your VCI
Manager software is in control of that VCI. Note: If
your VCI is connected to another networked PC, it
will still be detected by the VCI Manager but will be
displayed with a red symbol indicating that it is not
available.
i
If your VCI is connected via USB to your computer,
the VCI Manager functions on all tabs are available;
if your VCI is not connected via USB, the functions
on the Network Setup and VCI Update tabs are not
available.

tected VCIs window.

sion match, you can use your VCI with this PC.
