ACOWA ZOO Configuration Tool 

Connecting to a PC 

USB connection 

SPIDER connects to the PC via a Micro-USB connector on the side of the device. The ACOWA ZOO will then 
connect to the device for configuration. When the ACOWA ZOO program starts, it will continuously try to 
establish contact with a SPIDER device via USB connection. 

TCP Connection 

To connect to ACOWA ZOO via TCP, it must first be set to the correct TCP settings (IP Address, Port, APN). 
This is done in the ACOWA ZOO via the USB port. Once the SPIDER is configured correctly, then it can be 
accessed from the ACOWA ZOO via TCP

 

ACOWA ZOO Installation 

Driver installation 

Before installing ACOWA ZOO on a computer running Windows 7 or Windows 8, an additional driver file for 
communication via the USB port must be installed.  

Right-click on the file "fsl_ucwxp.inf" and select "install". Windows will ask for permission to install. The file 
is located in the "driver" folder under the " ACOWA ZOO " folder. 

Program installation 

ACOWA ZOO can be installed on computers running Windows 7, 8, or 10 or newer. Run the program 
"

AcowaZooSetup.exe

" ("AcowaZooSetup _32bit.exe" on 32-bit operating systems) and follow the on-

screen instructions:
