network connection of your Star Diagnosis system SDnetControl has two program parts for this: - A permanently visible status indication in the deskband - A program window for further information, settings and configurations 1.1 Functions Daimler AG has introduced Star Diagnosis compact³ w and Star Diagnosis compact4 and the SDconnect multiplexer to keep pace with the major advances in IT. SDnetControl is the central application for Star Diagnosis systems and SDconnect, allowing users to use the systems' network functions without difficulty: - Display of information on the current connection status - Easy changeover of the connection type (e.g. when changing from operation in the workshop to mobile operation) - Checking network and server availability SDnetControl is also an important link between current and future applications on Star Diagnosis systems and is therefore being implemented across multiple platforms. The following settings can be controlled with SDnetControl: - "Connections": Setting the operating mode (section 4.3) Selecting a multiplexer (section 4.4) - "Select MUX": - "Configuration": Setting up Star Diagnosis systems (section 4.5) - "Network tools": Display of the availability of application servers and network diagnosis (section 4.6) Operation of SDnetControl is very intuitive thanks to icons and automatic mechanisms. 1.2 Target Platforms SDnetControl is designed for all current Star Diagnosis platforms on the Windows XP operating system. 1.3 SDnetAssist Installation Wizard All necessary configuration settings for SDnetControl can be implemented via the SDnetAssist wizard for setting up the network. SDnetAssist is a separate application that combines and simplifies the configuration process via a special input interfaces. It means that configuration for operation in a network can be completed in approximately 10 minutes. Configuration through SDnetAssist/SDnetControl is only required when the system is to be operated in a network. Operation outside of networks is possible without configuration. Calling up the SDnetAssist installation wizard . Programs Service SDnetAssist Network questionnaire Print out the network questionnaire in SDnetAssist and a printer connected to your Star Diagnosis system or access it in the INFO information system on your Star Diagnosis system, or in the After-Sales portal: 4 http://aftersales.mercedes-benz.com Then have the questionnaire filled out by your IT administrator. Daimler AG Technical Information/Workshop Equipment (GSP/OI) HPC R800 D-70546 Stuttgart Status 03/11 (valid until recalled) Page 3 of 24 SDnetControl Manual 2 SDnetControl Design SDnetControl is an application that adapts to the Star Diagnosis system in use. This means that various functions are shown or hidden, depending on the Star Diagnosis variant. In all variants and also on every tab (cf. section 4.2) in SDnetControl there are “Common functions”. These are the starting point for the manual. Subsequent to this, all further subjects (such as the configuration of Star Diagnosis systems) are discussed. 2.1 The Components: Deskband and Program Window SDnetControl comprises two program areas: 1. Deskband Permanent status indication in the deskband. The deskband is integrated in the task bar of Windows XP in the lower right corner of the screen. (cf. section 3) 2. Program window Program window for further information, settings and configurations (see section 4). The program window is called up by clicking the deskband. 2.2 The Icons SDnetControl uses icons to simplify the display. These are briefly presented below and will be described in more detail in later sections as necessary. 2.2.1 Hardware Icons The hardware icons represent the relevant Star Diagnosis components in the workshop's network. They differentiate between the server, the Star Diagnosis platform and the multiplexer. These differ again depending on the platform and multiplexer used. Icon for server/Internet Icons for Star Diagnosis systems Icons for multiplexers 2.2.2 Connection Icons Connection icons serve to illustrate the type of connection between the various hardware components. The difference in color does not refer to the connection status. It only serves to make differentiation easier. Cable Connection Road Wireless Network (WLAN adhoc): Workshop Wireless Network (WLAN infrastructure): The connection icons are explained in more detail in section 4.3. 2.2.3 No Connection Multiplexer Icons The status icon for the multiplexer informs the user of the multiplexer selected and its availability. Details for this can be found in section 3.4. Daimler AG Technical Information/Workshop Equipment (GSP/OI) HPC R800 D-70546 Stuttgart Multiplexer status indication (see section 3.4) Status 03/11 (valid until recalled) Page 4 of 24 SDnetControl Manual 3 The Deskband As a part of SDnetControl, the deskband shows the network connection of Star Diagnosis systems and multiplexers permanently and at all times. 3.1 Deskband Display The deskband is integrated in the task bar of Windows XP in the lower right corner of the screen.
