Appendix C – APDiagnostics

Epica DGX 144 Instruction Manual
Communications
APDiagnostics communicates with a single enclosure at a time in Acquisition mode. (Only a single
instance of the application can run on a PC when in Acquisition mode.)
Note:
The Comm menu item is available only in Acquisition mode because communication with a
system is not required to run APDiagnostics in Emulation mode.
The communication link can be disconnected at anytime (thus freeing up the Comm port for use by other
applications) and then reconnected when needed. The program will reset itself when the reconnection
occurs. Due to the potentially high volume of information being processed from the attached enclosure,
we recommend using the Ethernet connection whenever possible.
To change the Comm Settings (in Acquisition mode only):
1.
Select Comm > Settings.
2. Ethernet
– Select the Ethernet tab and set the NIC ID.*
Or
Serial Port
– Select the Serial Port tab and set the
Comm ID and baud rate.
3.
Click Accept.
* If the NIC ID (MAC Address) is not already displayed, you
can find it by going to the Start menu at the lower left of your
monitor: 1) Select Start/Settings/Control Panel. 2) Open
Network Connections. 3) Right click on the Local Area
Connection (under LAN or Internet) and select Properties.
4) Hover the mouse pointer over the entry in the Connect Using
field to display the MAC Address (e.g., 00-1E-4F-A1-82-5D).
