Feature What It Does
- Communication Options: Wired vs Wireless
Cummins INLINE™ 7 Data Link Adapter Installation and Setup Manual 13
Communication Options: Wired vs Wireless
Prior to using the INLINE™ 7, you need to decide how you want the unit to com-
municate with your PC. There are three options:
• Wired, USB Connection (pg. 13)
• Wireless, Bluetooth® Connection (pg. 14)
• Wireless, Wi-Fi Connection (pg. 15)
Wired USB Connection
A wired USB connection provides the advantages of high data throughput, low
latency, and a high-reliability data connection.
IMPORTANT:
äECU reprogramming typically requires both high throughput and critical
timing, and should always use a USB-to-PC wired connection.
Wired communication between the INLINE™ 7 and your PC requires an automo-
tive A to Mini-B USB cable (shipped with the INLINE™ 7).
Figure 2.2 Automotive A to Mini-B USB Cable
NOTE:
iFor detailed instructions on making a wired connection, refer to Making a
Wired USB Connection in Chapter 3 of this manual.
14 Cummins INLINE™ 7 Data Link Adapter Installation and Setup Manual
Chapter 2 • Introducing the Cummins INLINE™ 7 Data Link Adapter
Wireless Bluetooth Connection
The INLINE™ 7 can be configured to use Bluetooth® wireless technology to
provide communication between the INLINE™ 7 and your PC. Bluetooth® has
limited bandwidth and exhibits latency when compared to WI-FI or a wired USB
connection. This may result in dropped messages in situations requiring high
bandwidth.
The INLINE™ 7 Data Link Adapter is equipped with a Class 1 Bluetooth® module
with a range of up to 100m when communicating with another Class 1 Bluetooth®
device. Most PCs that feature Integrated Bluetooth® are equipped with a Class 2
Bluetooth® module, which limits the useful range to around 10m.
NOTE:
iFor maximum wireless range, the use of an external, Class 1 USB Blue-
tooth® adapter (sold separately) is recommended.
If you decide to employ an external, Class 1 USB Bluetooth® adapter, you will
have to perform the following tasks:
• Disable the integrated Bluetooth® device
• Install the drivers supplied with the external adapter
• Configure the Bluetooth® environment.
For detailed instructions on configuring the INLINE™ 7 for Bluetooth®, see Making
a Bluetooth Wireless Connection, in Chapter 3 of this manual.
- Communication Options: Wired vs Wireless
Cummins INLINE™ 7 Data Link Adapter Installation and Setup Manual 15
Wireless Wi-Fi Connection
The INLINE™ 7 can also be configured to use Wi-Fi to provide wireless commu-
nication between the INLINE™ 7 and your PC.
There are two network options:
• Mini Access Point Mode (pg. 16)
• Infrastructure Mode (pg. 17)
Wi-Fi performance can be affected by network congestion or radio frequency in-
terference if there are too many other wireless devices in the vicinity.These
conditions may result in dropped messages. For this reason, Wireless communi-
cation is not recommended for ECU reprogramming (i.e, reflashing).
16 Cummins INLINE™ 7 Data Link Adapter Installation and Setup Manual
Chapter 2 • Introducing the Cummins INLINE™ 7 Data Link Adapter
Mini Access Point Mode (Peer-to-Peer)
The easiest and quickest way to connect your INLINE™ 7 to your PC is Mini
Access Point mode. In Mini Access Point mode (also known as Access Point Em-
ulation mode), the PC communicates directly with the INLINE™. The INLINE™ 7
emulates the function of an access point, allowing the PC to connect directly to the
INLINE™ 7, as if it were an access point. When the PC is connected to the
INLINE™ 7 in Mini Access Point mode, neither device is connected to the
company network.
Figure 2.3 Mini Access Mode
If you use your PC’s internal wireless network card to connect to your company’s
network and the Internet, you may want to obtain an additional wireless network
card for use with the INLINE™ 7. Otherwise when you connect the INLINE™ 7 to
your PC using Mini Access Point mode, you will not have access to the Internet
until you have finished your session and reconnected to your company’s network.
- Communication Options: Wired vs Wireless
Cummins INLINE™ 7 Data Link Adapter Installation and Setup Manual 17
For instructions on connecting the INLINE™ 7 Data Link Adapter and your PC
using Mini Access Point Mode, see Connect Using Wi-Fi, in Chapter 3 of this
manual.
Infrastructure Mode (Connecting to your Company’s Network)
In Infrastructure mode, your PC communicates with your company’s computer
network through a Wireless Access Point (not included), which acts as a bridge
between the wireless network and the wired network. In this mode, the INLINE™
7 is configured to communicate with the same access point. All communication
between the PC and the INLINE™ 7 passes through the access point.
Figure 2.4 Infrastructure Mode
NOTE:
iThe settings for connecting to your company network may differ from one
installation to another. To ensure network security, your Information Tech-
nology (IT) administrator will need to oversee the installation and specify
the appropriate configuration parameters. Your IT administrator should be
able to properly configure the INLINE™ 7 for infrastructure mode, using
the INLINE™ 7 Explorer utility (see Using the Cummins INLINE™ 7
Explorer Utility in Chapter 3 of this manual).

with a range of up to 100m when communicating with another Class 1 Bluetooth®
device. Most PCs that feature Integrated Bluetooth® are equipped with a Class 2
Bluetooth® module, which limits the useful range to around 10m.
For maximum wireless range, the use of an external, Class 1 USB Bluetooth®
adapter (sold separately) is recommended.
There are two connection options:
• Connecting via a Class 1, external Bluetooth® adapter (recommended)
• Connecting via Integrated Bluetooth®
The procedure for connecting via Integrated Bluetooth® is much the
same as connecting via an external Bluetooth® adapter. To connect
using your PC’s Integrated Bluetooth®, jump to Step 5 on page 34 of
the following procedure.
Connecting via a Class 1, External Bluetooth Adapter
If you decide to employ an external, Class 1 USB Bluetooth® adapter, you will
have to perform the following tasks:
• Disable your PCs Integrated Bluetooth® device
• Install the drivers supplied with the external adapter, if required
NOTE:
iDepending on the Bluetooth® adapter you are using for your wireless con-
nection, you may need to install the necessary Bluetooth® drivers. For
some adapters the drivers will install automatically.
• Connect the INLINE™ 7 to a vehicle
• Pair the INLINE™ 7 with your PC (pg. 34)

Making a Wireless Wi-Fi Connection
When using Wi-Fi, the INLINE™ 7 can be configured for either of the following
modes:
• Mini Access Point, the Wi-Fi default (pg. 39)
• Infrastructure (pg. 43)
NOTE:
iINLINE™ 7 cannot be used in Infrastructure mode until it has been config-
ured using the Explorer utility (see Using the Cummins INLINE™ 7
Explorer in Chapter 3 of this manual).
Mini Access Point Mode
The easiest and quickest way to connect your INLINE™ 7 to your PC is Mini
Access Point mode. In Mini Access Point mode (also known as Access Point Em-
ulation mode), the PC communicates directly with the INLINE™ 7. The INLINE™
7 emulates the function of an access point, allowing the PC to connect directly to
the INLINE™ 7, as if it were an access point. When the PC is connected to the
INLINE™ 7 in Mini Access Point mode, neither device is connected to the
company network.
