A new application is available: The Lexia Portal. This Portal is the point of entry to various functions of the Lexia tool. The Portal records the information which is useful and essential for the Lexia application (in particular the identification of the vehicle), the information entered in the portal will be used throughout the session and it will not be necessary to enter it a second time (e.g.: entering of the VIN when carrying out an ECU download). In particular, it is possible: to start diagnostic and repair sessions on a vehicle to gain access to other services linked with the diagnostics, to the remote updates for the tool, to the assistance, ... to configure certain parameters of the Lexia application, such as the language, the Dealership information, etc.

	The LEXIA portal is started from the Start menu or from the Windows desktop (see icon and menu). The main interface of this Portal contains the following four zones: - an information banner (1.) displaying messages for the user. These messages are opened through Internet Explorer - the context bar (2.) which indicates the context of the current screen of the portal. NB:the information shown here is the type of vehicle, the sub-type and the VIN. - the work zone (3.) - the updates module (4.) - the control bar (5.) containing the buttons which start the various functions and permit navigation within the portal.

Every day, when the Portal is started for the first time, a window invites you to search for new updates. First, the Internet connection is checked. If the connection is active, the Portal searches for Updates. If no updates are available, the Portal informs you of this. When updates are available, a screen lists them.

When it starts, the Portal will inform you that it is updating the application. Click on "more details" to find out what to do next. If the downloading zone changes to red, this indicates that the download has been interrupted. This will usually be due to loss of the Internet connection during the update.
