Initial Settings

• Step 1 - Installing the software
• Step 2 - Getting the latest firmware for the interface
• Step 3 - Program update
  • Connecting via WLAN
  • Connecting via BLE
• Step 4 - Get familiar with how the interface works
  • Single active communication channel
  • Limited number of paired devices
  • Automatic sleep mode

When you first launch the program, a form for entering serial numbers will appear. Enter your scanner's serial number.

If you have multiple scanners, enter their serial numbers separated by commas, for example: 25478, 1230.

The program will then automatically download the firmware files and the vehicle make files from the internet for your scanner.

1. In the program, click the button at the top of the window, an additional side menu will appear.

   Select the communication channel you want to use to connect to the interface. The selected channel will be shown at the top of the menu.

   On a computer, three communication channels are available: WLAN, BLE and USB. On mobile devices, only WLAN and BLE are available.

2. On your computer or smartphone, open the list of available WLAN networks and connect to your interface's network.

   The network name matches the scanner's serial number, and the password is the word scandoc followed by the serial number without the letter.

   For example, if your scanner has serial number s/n: N17008, the network will be named N17008, and the password will be scandoc17008.

   Note: This configuration is set in the device's WLAN module by default.

2. Unlike WLAN, the interface does not appear in the list of BLE devices on your computer or smartphone until the ScanDoc software itself initiates the connection. There is therefore no need to look for it in the BLE settings.
   This is done for security reasons: the interface stays permanently in the vehicle, and this approach prevents outsiders from discovering it and connecting via BLE.

   BLE pairing happens during the first connection to the device. During step 4, when updating the firmware, select the BLE connection. After a few seconds, a window will appear on the screen asking for the pairing password — the password must be entered in that window.

   The password (PIN code) is the scanner's serial number without the letter.

   For example, if your scanner has serial number s/n: N17008, the password will be 17008.

   Some devices (in particular Mac OS) require a password of exactly 6 digits. In that case, simply add a leading zero.
   For example, for the scanner s/n: N17008, enter the password as 017008 (zero + 17008).

2. The USB connection is available only in the desktop version of the ScanDoc software. On mobile devices (Android and iOS) this communication channel is not supported — use WLAN or BLE instead.

   Connect the interface to your computer with a USB cable. The first time you plug it in, the operating system automatically detects the interface as a Virtual COM Port and installs the required drivers. On modern versions of Windows 10/11, macOS and Linux the drivers are installed automatically, no further action is needed.

   Once connected, open Device Manager and find the name of the port the interface is attached to:

   • On Windows, open Device Manager → Ports (COM & LPT) and look for an entry like COM4, COM4, etc. If multiple ports are listed, unplug and reconnect the cable — the correct port will appear last in the list.
   • On Linux, run ls /dev/ttyUSB* or dmesg | tail in the terminal right after plugging in the cable. The port name typically looks like /dev/ttyUSB0.
   • On macOS, run ls /dev/tty.usb* — the port name will look like /dev/tty.usbserial-XXXX.

   Enter the port name you found in the ScanDoc software settings, in the corresponding field of the selected device.

3. In the program, click the button at the top of the window, an additional side menu will appear.

   Click the "Settings" button in the side menu, you will be taken to the program settings window.

4. In the options window, click the Update firmware on the interface button

   The firmware will be written to the scanner. The device is now ready for use.

   Updating via WLAN or USB takes approximately 30 seconds, while via BLE it takes about 5 minutes.
