If a direct connection is used, make sure you use an appropriate crossover Ethernet
cable (10 and 100Mbit LAN only). Note that detection of the APPH6000 can take several
seconds if your PC is configured to work with an external DHCP server. In some cases
the connection may even fail completely. Use a fixed IP instead.
Make sure that your (software) firewall enables the APPH6000 software to setup a
TCP/IP connection within the LAN. Under Windows XP you can do that like this:
Open
Control Panel
under
Settings
in your
Start
menu. Then go to
Windows Firewall
.
Click on
Exceptions
and then
add Program.
If the APPH6000 Software is in this list
choose it and click
OK
otherwise you have to browse for the path to AnaPico Software.
Finally close all open dialogs with
OK
. Now your Windows™ Firewall is ready for
APPH6000.
Shutting Down the APPH6000
Press the Line on/off switch on the rear panel to off.
Perform Firmware Upgrade
A firmware upgrade of the APPH6000 can be done directly via the GUI. Make sure you are
connected to the right device and have the correct firmware binary ready. Then go to Controller
Update Firmware and select the appropriate binary (tar.file) that you have received from
AnaPico or downloaded from the AnaPico website. The update will take a few seconds, and
after completion the device will reboot. Reconnect to the device and continue using the device.
Serial Number
Each instrument own a unique serial number which is shown on the sticker on the rear panel.
This serial number determines the instrument configuration and guides the software
accordingly.
