How do I update CONSULT-II?
 
 The first step is to review the CONSULT-II Software Cards bulletin covering the procedures for setting up your computer's Ethernet card and CONSULT-II. (Nissan: NTB00-022b or Infiniti: ITB00-017b)
top of page
Issue with updating the Diagnostic Software Card?
 
 If the diagnostic card does not update properly, retry the update process using ASIST. The Diagnostic software updated is a two step update process. Step 1) Software refresh. Step 2) Software update. Incident Symptom: When the card is updated and CONSULT-II is powered on, it beeps and blinks repeatedly and does not boot up normally. Solution: A) Place the CONSULT-II back into Trasfer Files via LAN mode (if the C-II is still beeping and blinking, place your finger on the screen to get back to resident mode). B) Update the card a second time.

ECM/TCM data transfer OK, but software cards do not update.
 
 If you recently converted to ASIST and have two network cards, you have two choices: Option 1) Disable the internet connection temporarily when you need to perform a software update. This is done in the Control Panel/Network connections. "Right-click" on the Internet Local Area Connection and select "disable". After the software update is complete, "enable" the internet connection using the same steps. Option 2) Swap the network TCP/IP and Subnet mask settings and cables for each of the network cards. The LAN/Internet ethernet port will be used for CONSULT-II communication and the current CONSULT-II port will be used for the LAN/Internet connection. Write down all the TCP/IP numbers before making this change (IP address, Subnet mask, default gateway, Perferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server) Be sure to swap the cables in the back of the PC (Unplug the internet cable and CONSULT cable, and switch the port that they plug into).

Does CONSULT-II use a special Cable?
 
 It depends on how CONSULT-II is attached to the Computer. CONSULT-II comes with a special "CrossOver" Cable which attaches directly from the computer to the CONSULT-II. If you use a Hub then a standard "straight" Ethernet cable is needed to attach from the Hub to the CONSULT- II.
top of page
What is a Hub?
 
 For computers which are attached to a LAN or directly to a DSL/Cable connection, a Router Hub or Hub is ideal for attaching CONSULT-II into the network. One note is to be sure to use a standard Ethernet cable when attaching to a Hub. (Currently CONSULT-II uses a CrossOver Ethernet cable when attached directly into your computer.)
