Introduction
The Noregon DLA+ 2.0 Adapter Family
The Noregon DLA+ 2.0 Adapter Family ( DLA+ 2.0, DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Adapter and Trailer Diagnostic Adapters)
are diagnostic devices that communicate with vehicle data for display on a PC-based diagnostic software
application. Starting in 2016, CARB and EPA mandated standard that all vehicles support 500K J1939, resulting in
the development of a new Type-2 9-pin connector. This connector can have up to 3 CAN channels (Tri CAN).
The DLA+ 2.0 and DLA+ 2.0 Wireless adapters and their cables will work with all existing vehicles and with newer
vehicles that will have the Type-2 9-pin connector.

Installation Notes
DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Configuration
Before beginning wireless configuration, check the “Resources” section of the www.Noregon.com website for
any notes or changes to the DLA+ 2.0 Wireless configuration process.
You must first install the necessary drivers before configuring the DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Adapter to work with your
PC for diagnostic applications. Please be sure to follow the instructions in the Installation section beginning on
page 10.
NOTE: Identify which DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Adapter you have… (ASSY REV A.xx)or (ASSY REV B.xx).The ASSY
REV information is found on the label containing the barcode. Follow the appropriate Wireless Configuration
section.
The DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Minder
After drivers are installed, your System Task Bar displays the DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Minder icon (if your system is set
to display Task Bar icons).
Figure 9
If you scroll your cursor over the icon, the message, “DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Minder: No Adapter IP Found” will
appear.
If you right click on the icon and select “Show Details”, a box will display that your DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Adapter is
not yet configured and therefore not getting a signal as indicated by the red “Round Trip Time (ms)” status bar.
Figure 10
Once you have configured and assigned an IP address to the DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Adapter, connected to a wireless
network, and the reception is strong, the status bar will become green as seen in Figure 52 on page 53.
As just noted, even after you have configured your DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Adapter to a wireless network, you may
get a poor transmission signal. To ensure a stronger signal, you may need to move your PC and DLA+ 2.0
Wireless Adapter closer to each other (See Wireless Reception Guidelines pages 64-65).
NOTE: Before setting up a connection between your PC and the DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Adapter, you must know if
you will use a local / corporate network or peer-to-peer connection. It is recommended you contact your
network administrator for local / corporate network configuration.

DLA+ 2.0 Adapter Family User’s Manual
Configuring the DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Adapter (ASSY REV A.xx)
To configure the adapter for the first time, or to change its network settings, follow these steps:
NOTE: If you have already installed your drivers (see page 10), Steps 1 and 2 may already be complete.
1. Plug the USB cable into the USB port on the PC.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the port labeled Computer on the adapter. Connect the
diagnostic cable to the 26-pin connector and attach the diagnostic cable connector to the diagnostic
port on the vehicle.
3. You will see the “Wireless” LED flash and then stop while the “Data” LED pulses regularly indicating the
adapter is ready for a data connection. From the Start menu, if DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Configuration Tool
does not automatically appear in the list of programs, go to Noregon and open JPRO® DLA+ 2.0 Wireless
Configuration Tool.
