SDnetControl Manual

1 Brief Description of SDnetControl

SDnetControl is a new application to control the 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)

- "Select MUX": Selecting a multiplexer (section 4.4)

- "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.

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.

The connection icons are explained in more detail in

section 4.3.

Cable Connection

Road Wireless Network (WLAN adhoc):

Workshop Wireless Network (WLAN infrastructure):

No Connection

2.2.3 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.

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.

Information about the hardware used, the selected

connection type and the status of the selected multiplexer

is displayed.

The color of the icon does not provide any information

about the status of the selected connection, in other

words whether it is actually functional. In order to check

this you can use the network tools (see section 4.6).

3.2 Hardware Used

The display in the deskband changes according to the

hardware used.

So for example, a multiplexer that is selected via cable is

automatically displayed as an icon and as "connected via

cable" (applies particularly when using a Part D).

3.3 Set Operating mode

The display in the deskband adapts to the operating mode

selected and the hardware used (see also section 4.3)

The connection type is displayed in the workshop

network/Internet on the left side of the Star Diagnosis

system.

The connection type to the multiplexer is displayed on the

right side of the Star Diagnosis system.

Explanation of the example above:

Left: The Star Diagnosis system is connected to the workshop server/Internet via a cable. A compact³ or compact³ w

is being used.

Right: The Star Diagnosis system is connected to the multiplexer via a cable. An SDconnect is being used. The
