Communication Hardware

Caterpillar Communication Adapter III 

Configuring Cat Electronic Technician to use the Communication Adapter 3

For Cat Electronic Technician to work with the Communication Adapter 3, the settings must be changed to select the Communication Adapter 3 as the Communication Interface Device:

Step 1 Start Cat Electronic Technician.

Step 2 Click the Stop Connect button when it appears.

Step 3 Select the Utilities menu.

Step 4 Choose “Preferences > Modify...”.

Step 5 Select the Communications tab.

Step 6 Select Cat Comm Adapter 3 (RP1210) and click OK.

NOTE: Because a growing number of products require multiple data link service, the “Enable Dual Datalink Service” checkbox has been pre-selected.

Servicing ECMs on more than one data link requires this check box to be enabled.

Failure to do this will result in undetected ECMs and reduced functionality.
