Using the Internet to Retrieve the Flash File

NOTE:
The StarSCAN must be at version 4.06 or higher before the "Using The Internet To Retrieve The Flash File" repair procedure can be performed.

NOTE:
The StarSCAN diagnostic scan tool fully supports Internet connectivity. However, in order to take advantage of this feature you must first configure the StarSCAN for your dealership's network. For instruction on setting up your StarSCAN for the dealer's network; refer to the StarSCAN Quick Start Networking Guide available on the website under the "download center".

NOTE:
Make sure the StarSCAN is configured to the dealership's network before proceeding.

If this flash process is interrupted/aborted, the flash should be restarted.
