01 - CAN Gateway Setup Overview

CAN Gateway Setup software allows you to configure CAN Gateway to either pass messages received directly to a VBOX, convert CAN or CAN-FD messages or define wheel speed channels.
 

The Software can be downloaded from the VBOX Automotive Website.


On start up, a mode selection screen is presented, allowing you to choose between the CAN Passthrough, CAN Conversion or Wheel Speeds workflows.

Note: Once you have entered a mode, there is no means to switch to another mode. The software must be closed and then reopened to switch modes.

CAN Gateway Setup software will automatically check for any updates every time it is started up on a PC with an internet connection. This feature can be disabled here – we would recommend keeping this turned on!
