4 OPERATION OF THE RADIO DEVICES
Wireless connection with Bluetooth and WiFi technology
The wireless connectivity with Bluetooth and WiFi technology supplies a standard and
reliablemethod toexchangeinformationbetween differentdevices,using radio waves.Other
than TEXA products, even products such as cellular phones, portable devices, computers,
printers, cameras, Pocket PCs, etc. use this type of technology.
The Bluetooth and WiFi interfaces look for compatible electronic devices according to the
radio signal they emit and establish a connection between them. TEXA tools select and only
prompt you with compatible TEXA devices. This does not exclude the presence of other
sources of communication or disturbance.
THE EFFICIENCY AND THE QUALITY OF THE BLUETOOTH AND WiFi
COMMUNICATIONS MAY BE INFLUENCED BY THE PRESENCE OF RADIO
DISTURBANCE SOURCES. THE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL HAS BEEN
DEVELOPED TO MANAGE THESE TYPES OF ERRORS; HOWEVER, IN THESE CASES
COMMUNICATION MAY BECOME DIFFICULT AND CONNECTION MAY REQUIRE
SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.
SHOULDTHEWIRELESSCONNECTIONBECRITICALANDCOMPROMISEAREGULAR
COMMUNICATION, THE SOURCE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ELECTROMAGNETIC
DISTURBANCE MUST BE IDENTIFIED AND ITS INTENSITY MUST BE REDUCED.
Position the tool so that the radio devices it is equipped with can work properly. In particular,
do not cover it with any shielding materials or with any metallic materials in general.

7 NAVIGATOR TXT MULTIHUB
NAVIGATOR TXT MULTIHUB is a multi-brand, multi-environment diagnostic VCI (Vehicle
Communication Interface) that can communicate with a large variety of vehicles such as:
•vehicles
•motorcycles
•buses
•commercial vehicles
•industrial vehicles
•agricultural machinery
•outboard engines
•inboard engines
•personal watercrafts
NAVIGATOR TXT MULTIHUB allows performing operations such as:
•the self-diagnosis for the reading and the clearing of the errors, the display of the
engineering parameters and of the control unit's statuses;
•the activation, adjustment and configuration of the devices installed on the vehicle;
•the resetting of the oil change, service and airbag system warning lights;
•the configuration of the control units, keys and remote controls.
NAVIGATOR TXT MULTIHUB is compatible with the J2534 protocol and therefore allows
performing repairs that require reprogramming the control units.
NAVIGATOR TXT MULTIHUB allows carrying out diagnostic operations on vehicles that
support the UDP/TCP ISO 13400 communication protocol.
In this type of vehicles, communication between the control units takes place not only via
CAN BUS but also via Ethernet BUS.
The Ethernet BUS technology requires using a connection based on the IP protocol in order
to carry out the diagnosis on vehicles and it is called DoIP, Diagnosis over IP.
NAVIGATOR TXT MULTIHUB allows carrying out on-road test drives.
16

During these tests, the behaviour of a series of parameters preselected via software is
recorded while the vehicle is driving normally.
This allows recording any issues that may be difficult to replicate in the workshop.
The data is analysed using a specific software once you return to the workshop.
The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technologies allow NAVIGATOR TXT MULTIHUB to connect to the
following display units:
•AXONE NEMO 2
•AXONE NEMO
•AXONE 5
•PC (equipped with TEXA software)
without the need for a wired connection.
