Installation Overview
These installation instructions are
designed to guide you through
the process of configuring your
Mastertech VCI (M-VCI) to a
wireless access point and an
existing internet connection. There
are three (3) possible types of
connections we are addressing
within this guide: existing router,
DSL/cable modem, and no
internet connection.
Note: If you are not using an
internet connection, you will be
setting up this router as a stand
alone device to enhance the
wireless communication between
your PC and the M-VCI scan tool.
Please follow the directions as
they pertain to a Type III (non-
internet) condition.
Although this guide is designed
to be compatible with as many
network layouts as possible, there
is a small chance that the specific
steps may not be compatible
with your specific situation. In
these cases, you should contact
your network IT specialist for
assistance.

additional wireless access
points to networks that already
have wireless capabilities can
be accomplished with little or
no changes to your pre-existing
network settings or configuration.
The advantage of using the M-VCI
on a wireless network with
internet is that the M-VCI will have
better coverage compared to an
ad-hoc wireless connection, and
it allows simultaneous wireless
connection to the tool and
internet.
The first section of this guide will
help determine if your existing
network is compatible with the
procedures suggested within this
guide.
Please Note (applies to both
internet and non-internet users):
Shop Foreman Pro with M-VCI
Manager must be installed on your
PC prior to continuing with the
NETGEAR Router installation.
Before Getting Started (applies
to both internet and non-internet
users): The router configuration
files need to be downloaded from
the Bosch diagnostics website and
saved to your PC. Saving them in a
New Folder within My Documents
is recommended.
