2 New Features with XENTRY Kit 2
The essential advancement of the XENTRY Kit 2 in
comparison with Star Diagnosis consists of the XENTRY Connect multiplexer having been supplemented with a PC section with an operating system (Windows 7). The
diagnostic applications, such as XENTRY Diagnostics, run on the XENTRY Connect. Operation and display are carried
out using the XENTRY Tab 2 tablet PC or optionally with a standard Windows 7 PC.
The interoperability of the components is based on the concept of a remote connection, so that access to XENTRY
Connect takes place from the XENTRY Tab 2 / standard PC. This is carried out with the new XENTRY Control software, which establishes the necessary remote connection and
enables operation.
In summary, the XENTRY Kit 2 product concept oers various advantages:
• Improvement of system stability through direct,
cable-based communication between the vehicle and XENTRY Connect (close-proximity vehicle diagnosis)
• New working options:
- An employee can work in parallel on several vehicles with one XENTRY Tab 2 and several XENTRY Connect
devices
- An employee can request help and be supported by a colleague on his XENTRY Connect
• Increased exibility through the alternative option of using a standard PC instead of the XENTRY Tab 2
The new diagnostic generation is available in the three versions:
• XENTRY Kit 2 (XENTRY Connect & XENTRY Tab 2)
• XENTRY Kit MT 2 (XENTRY Kit 2 & HMS 990 USB
Measurement Technology)
• XENTRY Connect (only XENTRY Connect)
• XENTRY Tab 2 (just XENTRY Tab 2, only available
as purchased device)
Which steps will be required before you can begin diagnosis?
These brief instructions provide a simplied overview. Also read through the following chapters in this user guide under all circumstances to enable you to work properly with the XENTRY system.
Step 1: Switch on both devices.
Step 2: Conguration of both devices for your network,
i.e. you have to congure the XENTRY Connect
and XENTRY Tab 2.
Step 3: Call the XENTRY Control software using
the link on the XENTRY Tab 2.
Step 4: Connection to a free XENTRY Connect with
which you would like to work.
Step 5: Usual work procedure: once the connection
to the XENTRY Connect has been established,
you will see the Diagnosis Desktop. This runs on the XENTRY Connect. Here, you can launch and continue to work as usual with familiar diagnostic
programs such as e.g. XENTRY Diagnostics.

4 System Requirements and
Network Integration
XENTRY Kit 2 supports the WLAN standard 802.11a/g/n. The minimum requirement for the WLAN network is IEEE
802.11g wireless radio operation with a bandwidth of 2.4 GHz.
We recommend encryption type WPA2 for conguring your WLAN network. This encryption type oers the greatest
security. Encryption type WEP is no longer supported by
the new product concept.
Make sure that the WLAN connection between XENTRY Connect and Access Point is not screened e.g. by vehicles or metal cabinets.
If you operate your devices in Service24h mode, please
note that no online connection to back-end systems (e.g. After Sales Portal, XENTRY Flash, add-ons, etc.)
is available in this mode.
Make sure that the components' MAC addresses (XENTRY Connect and XENTRY Tab 2/standard PC) are
enabled for your workshop’s WLAN and LAN on the DHCP server.
Please note that the number of systems which can access the Internet at the same time is restricted in certain
workshops. With the XENTRY Kit 2, two components can access the Internet. If necessary, clarify this with your
IT manager.
Please note that you require two LAN sockets plus an
additional LAN cable (recommended length 20 m) per workstation to operate the devices in workshop mode
via LAN, as only one LAN cable is supplied with the XENTRY Kit 2. If you only have one LAN jack per workbay, we recommend the use of a commercially available LAN hub/splitter.
When installing printers, make sure that these use
a current Windows 7 printer driver. Only printers compatible with Windows 7 are supported by the system.
For the XENTRY Kit 2 to function correctly, a DNS service
must be accessible in the workshop’s network. The recommended conguration for XENTRY Kit 2 is automatic procurement of the IP address conguration via a DHCP server in the internal network. This recommendation
applies in equal measure to both large and small companies.
Please ensure that these devices retain a clear line-of-sight connection to one another at all times, both in the WLAN (to the access point) and Service24h modes (to the infrastructure partner) in order that a stable
wireless connection is assured.
Further information on this is also available in the Connectivi­ty Guide in the Mercedes-Benz After Sales portal.
Note: The black Ethernet cable included in the package
contents is a crossover cable. We recommend that you only
use this cable when connecting the XENTRY Connect to a XENTRY Tab 2 or standard PC, e.g. during conguration. Please use only this cable for conguration.

4.1 NetworkProles:ConnectingtheXENTRYConnect to the XENTRY Tab 2
XENTRY Kit 2 oers two dierent network proles. The work-
shop mode for online connection to the central systems and
the Internet, and Service24h mode without online connecti­on for a direct connection between the devices.
4.1.1 Workshop Mode
XENTRY Kit 2 can be operated in a cable network (LAN) or in a WLAN network.
• WLAN workshop mode: Workshop IT infrastructure
with Access Point as a base station; both components are integrated into the infrastructure via WLAN.
Figure 5: WLAN workshop mode
• WLAN workshop mode: Both components are integrated
into the infrastructure via cable. LAN workshop mode is the alternative if no wireless network (WLAN) is available or if the quality of the WLAN network is inadequate.
Figure 6: LAN workshop mode
Important: Please note that – in contrast to Star Diagnosis – you require two LAN sockets and two LAN cables of corre­sponding lengths per workstation to operate the devices in this mode. If you only have one LAN jack per workbay, we recommend the use of a commercially available LAN hub/
splitter.
4.1.2 Service24h mode
XENTRY Kit 2 can be connected directly via LAN or WLAN using the Service24h mode. This may be useful, for examp­le, during use on the road or outside on your company’s
forecourt.
Note: You are not connected to the workshop network in the Service24h network prole, i.e. you have no back-end
connection (e.g. to central servers for XENTRY Flash).
• Service24h WLAN mode: Direct wireless connection between XENTRY Tab 2 and XENTRY Connect without
Access Point as a base station.
Figure 7: Service24h WLAN mode
• Service24h LAN mode: The devices are connected via
Service24h mode with a direct cable connection between
the XENTRY Connect and XENTRY Tab 2.
Figure 8: LAN Service24h mode
12
4.1.3 Cabled online mode
In the event that you require an online connection to back­end systems, but you want to establish the connection between XENTRY Tab 2 and XENTRY Connect independent of the workshop infrastructure, a new mode is now availab­le. It requires using the WLAN workshop mode and thereby
an online connection of the XENTRY Tab 2. To setup the cabled online mode, connect the XENTRY Tab 2 and XENTRY
Connect to each other using an Ethernet cable and click on the XENTRY Connect tile in XENTRY Control. This automati­cally congures thenew mode.
Figure 9: Cabled online mode
4.1.4 Mixed Operation
• WLAN and LAN combined
Workshop mode in mixed operation: E.g. XENTRY Connect
in the WLAN, XENTRY Tab 2 in the LAN. Devices are linked to each other via the workshop network and are connected to the back-end systems.
Figure 10: Combined WLAN and LAN
The following connection logic is not possible:
Figure 11: Connection mode not possible
The “serial connection” familiar from Star Diagnosis systems,
i.e. the connection of XENTRY Connect and XENTRY Tab 2 to
the workshop infrastructure via LAN and connection of the XENTRY Tab 2 via LAN, is not possible.
4.2 Minimum technical requirements and restrictions
on use of a standard PC
A standard PC may be used as an operating and display unit instead of the XENTRY Tab 2. You are entirely at liberty to choose the PC manufacturer and model, but must observe certain minimum requirements.
Minimum requirements:
Operating system: Windows 7 or Windows 8.1(recom-
mendation: Professional 32-bit)
Processor: 1.1 GHz Dual-Core Hard disk: At least 30 GB available RAM: 2 GB USB ports: At least 2 x USB 2.0 (for external
BD drive) or integrated BD drive
Network: LAN and WLAN
Display: Recommended minimum size: 13.3”
Recommended minimum resolution:
1366*768 pixels
Virus scanner: Recommended .net Framework version 4.0
Note: You will nd the current recommendations for the minimum requirements of a standard PC in the
Mercedes-Benz After Sales Portal.
Restrictions on use of a standard PC:
No XENTRY HMS 990 USB Measurement Technology or chip card reader can be used; the product support is also limited.
All Windows updates must be installed independently and as soon as possible (automatically is best) on the standard PC.

5 Initial Startup and Configuration
Certain steps have to be run through on initial startup of the XENTRY Kit 2.
The HelpCard is also enclosed in the case as a quick guide for initial startup.
5.1 Brief overview of initial XENTRY system startup
1. Unpacking the devices: Remove the XENTRY Tab 2 and the XENTRY Connect from the case. We recommend fully charging the rechargeable batteries in the XENTRY Tab 2 and the XENTRY Connect once prior to initial startup.
To do this, connect the enclosed power supply units to the relevant device. Initial startup can be started while both devices are still charging. However, make sure that the power supply is not interrupted at any time.
2. Enable the WLAN MAC addresses for the XENTRY Tab 2 and XENTRY Connect for your network. To do this, please
contact your IT administrator or IT service provider.
You will nd the MAC addresses on the adhesive labels on the back of the XENTRY Tab 2 and XENTRY Connect.
Figure 12: Adhesive label with MAC addresses
Now ll out the network questionnaire that is enclosed in the case together with your IT administrator. Do not proceed with the initial startup until you have fully completed the questionnaire! This allows you to avoid additional work.
3. The software on the XENTRY Connect is pre-installed. The standard XENTRY Connect language on delivery is always English. You can change the language when connecting the device to the XENTRY Tab 2 for the rst time.
4. XENTRY Control software is used to congure the XENTRY Tab 2 and the XENTRY Connect for your
workshop network. CongAssist, which is integrated there, guides you step-by-step through the process. CongAssist
opens automatically after starting XENTRY Control; if not,
it can be launched manually using the “Conguration”
menu.
5. Now, please order a StartKey and enter it into your system so that you are able to use the XENTRY
Diagnostics/XENTRY DAS diagnostic software. StartKeys are ordered through the already familiar tools and channels; if necessary, inquire in your market.
Note: WIS/ASRA is only available via the central installa­tions in on-line mode. This also ensures that you enjoy all of
the advantages of online operation on the diagnostic systems, such as e.g. the latest documents
at all times. Of course, WIS/ASRA can still be accessed
from the XENTRY frame, so that transfer of the vehicle
context is always assured. If access to a central installation is not possible or permitted, WIS/ASRA may also be ordered as a WIS/ASRA standalone (i.e. oine including
updates via DVD) in exceptional cases. Use the standard
channels to order a WIS/ASRA StartKey in these situations. However, orders can only be placed if a corresponding reason is specied. With this variant, you receive the same monthly WIS/ASRA DVD as for Star Diagnosis systems. Please contact your market representative for further information.

Figure 13: Start screen for conguration with CongAssist
The following screen will appear after you have selected the conguration type:
Figure 14: Network questionnaire access screen
Here, you can call and print out the network questionnaire. A printout of the network questionnaire can also be found in the case. All important data on the workshop network, e.g. network name and key, proxy settings, etc., can be documented on the network questionnaire in advance. If necessary, ask the
IT administrator in your facility for the required data.
Then continue to follow the dialogs in CongAssist to congu­re both devices. The network questionnaire data are queried
step by step.
5.2 Congurationoftheoverallsystem
You have two conguration options: “Dialog-guided” (Con­gAssist) or by means of the “Expert dialog”. If you work with xed IP addresses, please congure these via the DHCP
server. If, in exceptional cases, this is not possible, you
can congure it by means of the Expert dialog.
5.2.1 Conguration(dialog-guided,CongAssist)
You need the lled-out network questionnaire for the follo­wing conguration. Please have your completed network questionnaire ready.
Start XENTRY Control using the desktop link
on your XENTRY Tab 2.
Note: If you are using a standard PC, a dialog for the desk­band pop-up is shown here. Please conrm this dialog with
“Yes”.
CongAssist opens automatically after starting XENTRY Control; if not, it can be called using the “Conguration” menu. Check the external power supply to the XENTRY Tab 2
and XENTRY Connect.
Switch on the XENTRY Connect. To switch on the XENTRY
Connect, press any button on the XENTRY Connect operating
panel. Then, the message “Start XENTRY Connect?" appears in the display. Conrm this message with the green tick. The XENTRY Connect will start.
During the startup process for the XENTRY Connect, the
message “Device is starting” will appear in the display. Wait
until the XENTRY Connect startup process is complete and the
ready LED is green. During the initial start, this can take up to 10 minutes. Please follow the dialogs on the XENTRY
Tab screen.
The rst dialog in XENTRY Control oers you three selection options for beginning the conguration:
1.) New, without any existing conguration data
for the initial startup.
2.) Based on an existing conguration le, e.g. upon replacement.
3.) Based on this XENTRY Tab 2/standard PC, e.g. with a new XENTRY Connect.
Click the option that best suits your case. If you do not have any information on this, in the rst CongAssist dialog select the option “New, without existing conguration data” for the
initial startup.

1. First, select the basis for the conguration.
Figure 15: Selecting the components for the conguration
In case of an initial startup, select “Congure overall sys-
tem”.
2. A series of numerous queries follows; please enter
the data and/or make the selections that your IT administrator has noted on the network questionnaire.
Figure 16: Cong Assist dialog sequence for the initial startup
3. After the input has been entered, you can choose whether
the data should rst be saved in a le or immediately
applied to the XENTRY Tab 2 and the XENTRY Connect.
Select an option and proceed with the dialogs.
Figure 17: Apply conguration and successful conguration at completion of Cong Assist.
Tip: Save the le so it can also be used for additional de­vices as a conguration le.
Now connect the XENTRY Connect with the XENTRY Tab 2 using the provided black Ethernet connecting cable, and screw on the cable to the XENTRY Tab 2. On completion of conguration, the XENTRY Connect display or the XENTRY Control tile will show the message “Conguration success-
fully applied”.
The conguration wizard can be ended and the connection between the two devices separated. To do this, simply dis­connect the black Ethernet connecting cable from
both devices.
Note: If you work with xed IP addresses, we generally re­commend that you set up a conguration via a DHCP server.
From an IT operations perspective, this is the most secure
way to ensure a sound and stable operating environment. Details on DHCP can be found in the Connectivity Guide.
Note: If you do not use a DHCP server or, due to network problems, you wish to assign static IP addresses for your XENTRY Kit 2, you can also carry out the conguration via XENTRY Control. In this case you must transfer the congu­ration to the XENTRY Connect by means of a USB memory stick. To do this, save the conguration le on a USB memory stick and insert it in XENTRY Connect.
Then check whether the “Ready” icon
appears in the
XENTRY Connect display and if the XENTRY Connect is shown
in green in XENTRY Control after about 10 seconds.
Figure 18: XENTRY Control Selection Screen
If yes, you may now use the XENTRY Connect to work on the vehicle together with the XENTRY Tab 2. To do this, click
onto the green XENTRY Connect icon to connect to it.
If no, there are two possible remedies.
16
a) The XENTRY Connect icon is shown in gray in XENTRY
Control and the gears ash on the display:
Figure 19: XENTRY Control tile “Not congured”
In this case, repeat conguration as described in these instructions. Note that CongAssist is now no longer started automatically. Open CongAssist using the menu bar in XENTRY Control in the “Conguration” menu item. Please contact Diagnosis Support if a subsequent attempt
also fails.
b) XENTRY Connect does not appear any more in the
overview: in this case, check whether both devices are set to the same network prole: workshop or Service24h mode. This can be checked in XENTRY Control through
the menu
“Network prole”  Service24h and by using
the gear button on the XENTRY Connect. If the XENTRY Connect is still not displayed, then prior to reattempting
conguration the XENTRY Connect and the XENTRY Tab 2
must be connected directly using the Ethernet connecting
cable and Service24h mode must be set in each case. Only then is it possible to perform conguration again using CongAssist.
Note: After removing the black Ethernet connecting cable, the devices are only connected if the WLAN is activated and congured, i.e. if WLAN conguration has been execu­ted in CongAssist.
Please contact Diagnosis Support if a subsequent attempt
also fails.
5.2.2 Expert mode initial startup
In contrast to the procedures described above, this initial startup procedure is not guided and you must enter the required data yourself. We only recommend using this
procedure if you have extensive technical knowledge and have already congured such devices in the past. Keep your workshop-specic network data ready, e.g. the IP address, network name and key, as these are required to ll in the screen. This section only explains the dierences between expert conguration and initial startup using CongAssist. The expert dialog is also called using the “Conguration” menu item in the XENTRY Control software. Then click onto the blue “Expert conguration” link at the bottom right in CongAssist:
Figure 20: Accessing the conguration with the Expert dialog
The following window will open:
Figure 21: Expert dialog
The expert dialog is subdivided into the 3 “Workshop”,
“XENTRY Tab 2/standard PC” and “XENTRY Connect” tabs.
First switch to the “Workshop” tab at the top and then to the “WLAN settings” panel. Make sure that the WLAN (global)
is set to “On”.
Figure 22: Expert dialog: WLAN settings
Fill in the elds required for your workshop. Enter the individual values for your workshop in the proxy settings, search for settings, EPC, WIS/ASRA settings and group
17
User Guide XENTRY Kit 2, XENTRY Kit MT 2, XENTRY Connect Daimler AG, Item No. 6511 9538 02, Last updated: 09/2014
settings tabs. If you would like to use groups, these must be
created in the group tab so that they can be subsequently assigned to the XENTRY Connect devices.
This may be helpful if you use a number of XENTRY Connect devices in your company or the company is subdivided into
dierent teams. The denition of groups oers a more clearly
arranged display in XENTRY Control.
Example: Team 1 Cars, Team 2 Trucks
Now switch to the “XENTRY Tab 2 / standard PC” tab:
Figure 23: Expert dialog: Apply XENTRY Tab 2 conguration
Fill in the following elds in the “XENTRY Tab 2 / standard PC”
tab:
• The name of the XENTRY Tab 2 must be entered
(without blanks) in the “Conguration” tab
• An overview of the input data is displayed in the
“Overview” tab
• Finally, press the “Apply conguration to XENTRY Tab 2 /
standard PC” button
The following message appears: “Please wait while the conguration is applied to the XENTRY Tab 2.” The message “Conguration successfully applied” appears after a while.
Now switch to the “XENTRY Connect” tab:
Figure 24: Expert dialog: Apply XENTRY Connect conguration
Please enter the desired number of the XENTRY Connect in
the “Conguration” tab.
Important: Each number may only be assigned once in
your workshop!
• The groups previously dened for your workshop operation in the “Workshop – groups” tabs can be
assigned to the XENTRY Connect. A list containing
the dened groups appears.
• An overview of the input data is displayed in the “Overview” tab.
• Finally, press the “Apply conguration to
XENTRY Connect” button.
The following dialog will appear:
Figure 25: Expert dialog: Conguration type prompt
Here, you may select whether you want to carry congurati­on out “Via the network” (using the Ethernet connecting cable) or “Via USB stick”.
“Via the network” means that conguration is carried out using the Ethernet connecting cable by which the XENTRY
Tab 2 is connected to the XENTRY Connect.
“Via USB stick” means that conguration is carried out by saving the conguration le to a USB stick, which has
to be inserted into the XENTRY Connect.
If you want to perform the conguration by means of a USB memory stick, save the le onto the stick by clicking “Via USB memory stick”; continue to follow the dialog prompts.
Note: The conguration le must be saved on the USB me­mory stick in the directory VCI_VIEW/cong; this directory
is automatically created by XENTRY Control. Please do not
change the name of the le. Otherwise, the le cannot be read.
Now insert the USB memory stick into the XENTRY Connect. The XENTRY Connect must be switched on. Then press the “green check” and “red cross” buttons simultaneously. In the display your are asked “Start conguration?", conrm this with the 'green check-mark'. The conguration will be initiated; the XENTRY Connect LED will ash green.
18
On completion of the conguration, you will see the message “Conguration applied successfully” in the XENTRY Connect display. Please remove the USB memory stick from the XENTRY Connect. The conguration is now nished.
If you select “Via the network”, the message “Please connect
the XENTRY Tab 2 to the XENTRY Connect using the Ethernet
connecting cable” appears after clicking on “Continue”. Check whether both devices are correctly connected via the Ethernet connecting cable. The message “Conguration successful” appears after a while. You are now nished conguring the XENTRY Connect. Then restart both devices and wait until both have completely booted. Check then if the “Ready” symbol is shown on the display of the XENTRY Connect and if the XENTRY Connect is shown in green after the XENTRY Control software has been started:
Figure 26: XENTRY Control Selection Screen
If yes, you may now use the XENTRY Connect to work on the vehicle together with the XENTRY Tab 2. To do this, click onto
the green XENTRY Connect icon to connect to it.
If no, there are two possible remedies.
a) The XENTRY Connect icon is shown in gray in XENTRY
Control and the gears are ashing on the display:
Figure 27: XENTRY Control tile “Not congured”
In this case, repeat conguration as described in these instructions. Please contact Diagnosis Support
if a subsequent attempt also fails.
b) XENTRY Connect does not appear any more
in the overview: In this case, check whether both devices are set to the
same network prole: workshop or Service24h mode.
If this does not remedy the problem, the XENTRY Connect and the XENTRY Tab 2 must be connected directly using the Ethernet connecting cable prior to reattempting
conguration, and Service24h mode must be set on each
device. This is carried out in XENTRY Control using the menu
“Network prole”  Service24h, and by using the
gear button on the XENTRY Connect , which you press until the message “Switch to 24h mode?" appears on the display. Conrm this message with the green tick. Only then is it possible to perform conguration again. Please contact Diagnosis Support if a subsequent attempt
also fails.
5.3 CheckingtheBack-endConnections
Whether the back-end connections (i.e. WIS, EPC, TIPS, VeDoc, XSF, LogCollect/AQUA, XENTRY Flash Server) or Internet
connections are functioning correctly can be seen
at the bottom of the deskband when you are connected to your
XENTRY Connect.
Figure 28: Deskband
A globe with a green check-mark, indicating that all back-end connections are accessible, appears in the deskband.
If the globe is displayed with a yellow exclamation mark, this means that only certain back-end
connections are available.
If no back-end connection is available, the following icon will appear in the deskband:
In this case, please check whether the device is correctly congured for your workshop and whether you are able to
establish an Internet connection at all. To test this, you can
open the XENTRY browser and e.g. call the After-Sales Portal
under favorites. If the homepage appears, you may assume that the Internet connection is functioning correctly.
Note: As soon as XENTRY Tab 2 accesses the Internet for
the rst time, the Windows 7 updates are downloaded. This can take a while. The XENTRY Connect is provided with the Windows 7 updates via the “XENTRY Kit 2 Software Blu-ray
Disc”.
If no Internet connection is available, please check whether the devices have been correctly congured for your workshop. The data which you have input can be checked
19
User Guide XENTRY Kit 2, XENTRY Kit MT 2, XENTRY Connect Daimler AG, Item No. 6511 9538 02, Last updated: 09/2014
by calling up the menu in XENTRY Control: Conguration
Check Expert dialog. One further reason may be that
the XENTRY Connect and/or XENTRY Tab 2 have not been
enabled for your workshop network. In this case, ask your IT manager / workshop network service provider.
5.4 Order StartKey
On completion of conguration, you must order the neces­sary StartKeys to be able to use the XENTRY system. The StartKey enables you to use the XENTRY Diagnostics and XENTRY DAS diagnostic applications. You also require an additional StartKey to use WIS standalone. Please note that the use of WIS standalone is only now approved in exceptio­nal cases. Make sure that an Internet connection is available and carry out the following steps:
1. Connect to the XENTRY Connect. Start the StartKey Center
using the button on the adjacent Diagnosis desktop.
Figure 29: Diagnosis desktop on the XENTRY Connect
Note: A temporary StartKey is no longer available on the XENTRY Connect! Please order the StartKey in a timely
manner.
2. Read out the HW ID and system number of your
XENTRY Connect in the “Overview” tab. You require this information to order the StartKey.
You have the option of saving the values by means of
“Copy” and/or “Save” buttons to save the values and make it easier for the StartKey order to read them in.
Figure 30: StartKey Center overview
3. We would like to point out our electronic ordering options
(LOP, LOT) to apply for permanent access authorization (StartKey). Information on which ordering process is used in your country (LOP, LOT or ordering through a central
national contact person), is available from the contact
person for access authorization/StartKeys at your
national company.
4. Now open the “StartKeys” tab. You now have three
options for reading the StartKey for XENTRY Diagnostics
into your system.
a) You save the attached le (which you received via email)
on a USB memory stick in the root directory, then insert it in the XENTRY Tab 2 and read in the StartKey in the StartKey Center from the USB memory stick.
b) Then open the StartKey Center and click on the “Load
StartKey online” button. The StartKey is then read-in directly online. For this variant, you must make sure
that the XENTRY Connect has an Internet connection.
c) You manually enter the StartKey.

22
6.2.3 Connecting XENTRY Connect to the vehicle (cable)
A XENTRY Connect device can be connected to the vehicle
using various vehicle-specic connecting cables. The cables are compatible with the current vehicle cables and are connected to the XENTRY Connect using a so-called push-pull mechanism.
Note: Please note that the XENTRY Connect must always be supplied with sucient power when used in the vehicle. When working on the vehicle, always connect an external power supply to the vehicle (> 12.5 V).
6.3 XENTRY Connect operating panel
As is already familiar from SDconnect, the XENTRY Connect oers a display and four buttons for operation. Two green and two red LEDs for indicating the current operating status are new.
Figure 35: XENTRY Connect operating panel and display
6.3.1 Button Lock on the XENTRY Connect
The XENTRY Connect is equipped with a button lock so that it cannot be switched on unintentionally during transport or daily operations. If you wish to switch the XENTRY Connect on, press any button on the operating panel. The prompt “Start XENTRY Connect?" then appears on the display. Conrm this by pressing the green tick on the operating panel. The XENTRY Connect starts after pressing the green tick.
Note: If the XENTRY Connect is stored for longer than
50 days without external supply voltage (connection to a vehicle or external power supply unit), this will cause the complete shutdown of the XENTRY Connect in order to
prevent a deep discharging of the battery. In this operating
state the display is switched o and the XENTRY Connect
device does not react any more to the pressing of a button. A restart of the device and consequently the reactivation
of the display and keypad is accomplished by connecting it to the power supply unit included in the delivery scope.
Recharge the device completely.
6.3.2 LEDs and Search Tone
To indicate dierent status and event information, the XENTRY Connect is equipped with two green and two red LEDs as well as an acoustic search tone. If the search tone is activated, all LEDs ash simultaneously for the dened
time period of 10 seconds and a signal tone is sounded on the device at the same time.
Depending on status (o, on, ashing), the LEDs have dierent meanings; these are described in detail in the following.
1 = Malfunction LED (red) 3 = Network LED (green)

The background illumination of the display has three opera­ting states: ON, OFF and ashing.
Background illumination ON indicates that the device has recently been activated or a button has recently been pressed.
Background illumination OFF can be attributed to two causes:
- If nothing is shown on the display at all any longer, the
device has no power supply. The rechargeable battery is
also empty or has been removed.
- When output is shown on the display (a), the XENTRY Connect is either in standby or (b) no XENTRY Connect
buttons have been actuated within approx. 4 minutes, or the information has not been updated/changed within
approx. 4 minutes.
Background illumination FLASHING indicates that the search tone is active.
6.3.7 Buttons of the XENTRY Connect
