Step-by-Step Guide to Resetting LAN & WLAN IP Addresses for Xentry C4 IP
This process involves adjusting your computer’s network adapter settings to specific IP addresses, enabling communication with the SD Connect C4 device.
1. Access Network Settings:
Begin by accessing your computer’s personalization settings. Right-click on your desktop and select “Personalize.”
Navigate to “Control Panel” then proceed to “Network and Internet,” and finally, click on “Network and Sharing Center.”
2. Configure Local Area Connection (LAN) IP Address:
In the Network and Sharing Center, locate and click on “Change adapter settings.” Find your “Local Area Connection” (it might be numbered, e.g., “Local Area Connection 2”). Right-click on it, and select “Properties.”
In the “Local Area Connection Properties” window, find and select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and click on “Properties.”
Select “Use the following IP address” and enter the following details:
- IP address:
172.29.127.119 - Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
Click “OK” to save these settings.
3. Configure Wireless Network Connection (WLAN) IP Address:
Go back to the “Network Connections” window. This time, locate your “Wireless Network Connection” (again, it might be numbered, e.g., “Wireless Network Connection 3”). Right-click on it and select “Properties.”
Similarly, in the “Wireless Network Connection Properties” window, select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and click “Properties.”
Select “Use the following IP address” and input these details:
- IP address:
192.168.2.110 - Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
Click “OK” to save these settings and close the properties windows.
4. Utilize Road24h Ad-Hoc Connector for Xentry C4 IP Mux Connection:
Open the “Road24h Ad-Hoc Connector” software on your computer.
Click on the button labeled “-1- Make Roard24h Ad-hoc Profile” and then click “OK.”
Next, click on the button labeled “-2- Connect to MUX via Road24h” and click “OK” again.
You should see a “Road24h now is connecting” message indicating the connection process.
5. Configure SDconnect Toolkit for Encryption:
Open the “Administration SDconnect Toolkit” application. Navigate to “Register/Configure” and then “Setup Encryption.”
Select “WEP/Hex” as the encryption method.
Enter the encryption key provided with your SD Connect C4 device.
Copy this key as your network security key for the wireless connection.
Click “Start” to initiate the configuration process.
6. Verify Connection:
Once the configuration is complete, you should see a “Road14h is connected” message, confirming a successful connection.
Your network location should now be recognized as “Work.”
Open the “SDconnect Toolkit Preview” to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
Congratulations! You have successfully reset the IP addresses for your Xentry C4 IP setup and established a connection. You can now utilize Xentry/DAS via WIFI, enabling wireless diagnostics for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. By following these steps, you can overcome the common WLAN Error 2 and ensure your diagnostic system operates smoothly.
