VCI Manager Software on the PC Un-
able to Communicate with the VCI
VCI Manager software must be installed on the PC, and
the VCI must be powered up before it will communicate
using USB. The VCI must also be configured for wireless
communication before it will communicate with your
wireless network. The VCI connects first using USB, if
available; if USB is not available, the VCI connects using
wireless.
Recommendations:
R
Check that the cables are securely attached to the
VCI, the VCI has completed its power up sequence,
the connector pins are clean, and the VCI Manager
software is running.
R
If connecting using USB, check that the VCI USB
connection is detected by Windows:
$
Connect the VCI to the PC USB port, then power
up the VCI.
$
From the Windows Control Panel, open the Net-
work and Dial-up Connections window.
$
Check for device name "RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget".
If not running, then either the USB driver has not
been loaded on the PC or the VCI is not powered
and connected to the USB. Check all USB ports
on the PC and verify that the VCI is powered on.
R
Contact your IT department for the correct VCI set-
tings.

If the VCI Manager is still not able to communicate
