Note: there are many IDS free download links on webs, but you are not suggested to download and install one; because for one thing, most new IDS online is offered to test- that is, actually, they has been not tested before release; and for another, free new IDS usually may be expired within 3 days- that is, you cannot use them then. Also, IDS installlation is quite not easy.
---> you had better choose the one has been tested good, to avoid some unnecessary problem.

SP239-B has the difference working method as others. Quality A has the best quality. For ford VCM II which do not have WIFI adapter, if you need WIFI function, you need to buy the WIFI D-link Wireless card. Now vcm ii software adds VMware software inside. Best way is install the VMware first, then install the software on VMware. If you do not want VMware, you can choose the way without vmware to install. |
