How to Set Up Software Connections for Mercedes Diagnostic Devices

In this tutorial, we will cover how to set up various Mercedes diagnostic devices using XENTRY and DTS Monaco, including how to connect to DTS ports.

Setting Up XENTRY

Step 1: Open ConfigAssist

  1. Double-click the ConfigAssist icon on your desktop.
  2. You will see options for XENTRY Diagnosis VCI and SD Connect.

Step 2: Select the Appropriate Device

If your device is:

  • The original VCI, VCX, T6XENTRY, or HAN T9MAX: Select XENTRY Diagnosis VCI.
  • MB STAR C4 or ECOM: Select SD Connect.
  • ENET Cable: You can choose either option, but you need specific XENTRY ENET software to use ENET for diagnostics.

For this example, we will use MB STAR C4:

  1. Click on SD Connect.
  2. When the icon appears in the bottom right corner of your computer, it indicates that you are in C4 mode

Step 3: Configure Network Settings

  1. Right-click the network icon and select Network and Internet settings.
  2. Choose Ethernet and then Change adapter options.
  3. Double-click on Ethernet 4 (it may just be labeled Ethernet on your laptop).
  4. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and configure it as follows:
    • IP Address: 172.29.127.111
    • Subnet Mask: This will be generated automatically; no need to modify it.
  5. Click OK to save the settings.

At this point, you should be connected to the C4 device. To switch back to C6, you will need to reset the IP settings to obtain an IP address automatically.

Connecting DTS Monaco to Diagnostic Packages

Now we will discuss how to connect DTS Monaco to various diagnostic packages. The setup process is the same for both DTS 8.16 and DTS 9.02.

Step 1: Open DTS Monaco

  1. Launch the DTS Monaco software.
  2. Click on the Settings interface and select System Settings.

Step 2: Configure Connection Settings

  1. You will see two connection settings: SMR-D connection settings and CBF connection settings.
  2. To set up the C6 connection:
    1. Right-click and create a new connection, naming it C6 (or any name you prefer for differentiation).
    2. Select the following options:
      • PDU API: Bosch D_PDU_API
      • Module: MODULE_TYPE_ID_MTS6532
      • Cable: OBD_STDCABLE_ONLY
    3. Click Next, then select CAN 1 and CAN 2, and click Finish.
    4. Remember to click Save to store the connection settings.

Step 3: Configure CBF Connection for C6

  1. Right-click to create a new connection and customize a new Interface name.
  2. Select Module as DCDIPartP and choose CAN 1, CAN 2, and Ethernet 1.
  3. Again, ensure you click Save to store the settings.

Step 4: Setting Up ENET Connection

  1. Select Interfaces, right-click, and create a new connection.
  2. Customize an Interface name and select Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2.
  3. Click Finish and save the connection.

Step 5: Open a Workspace

  1. Go back to the previous step and click on Open a workspace.
  2. Select the appropriate template. For example, if you are working on a 205 model, select the corresponding diagnostic package.
  3. If your device is C6, choose the C6 connection you just created and remove other options.
  4. Click OK to initiate the automatic connection.
