Establish Wired Connection: Hardware Setup.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Connect your M6+ PRO diagnostic tool directly to the diagnostic laptop using a standard RJ45 Ethernet network cable, and plug the 16-pin OBD2 connector securely into the vehicle&#8217;s OBD port. Turn on the vehicle ignition.<\/div>\n<div>Verification: Check the LAN port LEDs on the laptop or the indicator lights on the M6+ PRO to confirm physical link activity.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>2. Open Network Adapter Properties: Windows Settings.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>On your computer, open Network and Sharing Center (or go to Settings &gt; Network &amp; Internet &gt; Change adapter options), locate your active Local Area Connection\/Ethernet adapter, right-click it, and select Properties.<\/div>\n<div>Verification: Double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP\/IPv4) to open the IPv4 Properties window.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>3. Assign Primary Static IP Parameters: IPv4 Setup.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Select Use the following IP address and enter the following parameters:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>IP address: 169.254.255.* (replace * with any digit from 1 to 254, such as 169.254.255.45)<\/li>\n<li>Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0<\/li>\n<li>Default gateway: 169.254.255.255<\/li>\n<li>Preferred DNS server: 169.254.255.255<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>Verification: Ensure all values are entered without typos before proceeding to advanced settings.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>4. Add Secondary Advanced IP Address: DoIP Communication.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>In the same TCP\/IPv4 Properties window, click the Advanced button at the bottom right.
