of the manual. Please note that connector numbers 6, 10, and 13 pinouts are
not available.
This chapter describes how to set the jumpers on the motherboard.
Before You Begin
▪ Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can
get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep
small components separated.
▪ Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally
damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow
require only a few simple tools, including the following:
– A Philips screwdriver
– A flat-tipped screwdriver
– A set of jewelers screwdrivers
– A grounding strap
– An anti-static pad
▪ Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is
recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect
connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the
connectors.
▪ Before working on internal components, make sure that the power is off.
Ground yourself before touching any internal components, by touching
a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic
components. Humid environment tend to have less static electricity than
dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever danger of
static electricity exists.
Precautions
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on the computers that are still
connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.
Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:
▪ Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are
working inside the case.
▪ If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the
computer case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching
the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body of any
other grounded appliance.
▪ Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the
components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or
stress the circuit board.
▪ Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they shipped
with until they are ready for installation.
▪ Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.
A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal
pins and a cap. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are
placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the
jumper is short. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on
just one pin, the jumper is open.
Refer to the illustrations below for examples of what the 2-pin and 3-pin
jumpers look like when they are short (on) and open (off).

resistor internally when you switch “SW2” to “OFF” state.
In this case, the external input signal will have a voltage of high level by itself.
The maximum voltage of high level can be accepted up to 30Vdc.
The figure below shows how to connect an external output source to one of
isolated input channel.

You can also type HEX code instead:
“41”, “54”, “5A”, “0D”
If you see the strange characters instead of “>”, you may set the incorrect
baud rate. Please check baud rate. If you send the incorrect command, the
device will show a single question mark (“?”) to indicate your input is not
understood. If VTC fails to link to the BUS, it will show “PLEASE REBOOT”.
VTC series offer an option to integrate the OBDII module, VIOX-CAN01, into
VTC system. The form factor of this VIOX-CAN01 is proprietary and it can
support either SAE J1939 or SAE J1708 via connection in the first time. The
maximum VIOX-CAN01 installed in VTC series is up to three units. Please
note they are factory option.
VIOX-CAN01 Setup
When you start connecting VTC device to CAN bus device, you need a
terminal program to send and receive data. To use the terminal program,
please follow the setting below.
(1) Set the proper corresponding “COM” port and its data rate is 9600
(2) Set data bits at 9, stop bit at 1 and no parity bits.
After the setting, you will see the prompt with “>” character. This indicates
that the device is in the idle state and ready to receive characters on the
COM port.
If you do not see prompt string, please reset the device with ATR (reset)
command and then press the return key:
>ATR or >AT R (spaces are optional; and case is in-sensetive).
Once VTC connect to BUS, it will start to try which protocol is connected
either J1939 or J1708. Once it is determined, it will only accept the
successful protocol next time unless using ATR command to reset it. This
means you can change the protocol by reset command. After the reset
command, please power off the device and turn on it again.
In case, the device cannot find correct protocol after 180 seconds, it will
enter sleeping mode for power saving.
There are several output format available for the different application
including:
(1) Simple Data by ASCII Code
(2) Raw Data
(3) Packaged Messages by ASCII or HEX code.
The default setting is Simple Data Format. The device will send messages
out after it communicates with vehicle successfully. The output format can
be changed via setting the AT command. Please refer the following section
of AT command.
