4.6 Universal Serial Bus (USB)
The MTS 6516 VCI has a fixed USB configuration which
cannot be changed. This ensures that the MTS 6516 VCI
can always be connected to a single PC running the

WLAN settings required by your local network. In ad-
dition, it is important to note that a USB connection is
required to configure and update the firmware on the

The VCI Manager software is a host computer applica-
tion which runs on the Microsoft Windows operating

software is also used to set the J2534 identity VCIs.
The VCI Manager software allows the configuration of
VCI-to-host PC communications and facilitates VCI firm-
ware updates.
