#PURPOSE
A. Connect
The Connect function initiates data link connection. This function is
available when no data link is currently active.
When this function is selected, the service tool continues with the same data
link connection procedures used during initial startup of the application. When
a data link is established, the service tool returns to the main menu and
displays the ECM Summary screen. When a data link connection is not established,
the service tool provides information for correcting the problem.
B. Disconnect
The
Disconnect function allows the current data link connection between the service
tool and the ECM to be removed. This function is available when a data link
connection is currently active. All service tool functionality, menus, and
toolbars are updated according to the state of the connection.
#INSTRUCTION
A). To Start a Connection...→Click the Connect icon on the toolbar (if default is set), select Connect from the File menu, or push the F8 key. The Connection message box is displayed
while the service tool attempts to establish communications with the data
link.

→When communications are successfully established and multiple ECMs are found,
the ECM Selector dialog box displays. If the service tool connects to an ECM
that is not supported by the subscription, the service tool displays a message
and immediately disconnects.
→To cancel all attempts to communicate with the ECM, click the Stop Connect button on the Connection message
box. All functions that require an active data link connection are disabled. The
service tool displays a blank main screen. The status bar is updated with the
message Disconnected.
B). To Stop a Connection...

menu, or push the F8 key. The blank service tool main screen will be
