ups. Here you’ll find 100Hz, 1kHz and 10kHz sine waves as well as pink noise. The signal generator can be
assigned to the AUX Mixes, Group Mixes or the Main Mix. This is found on page 1 of the desktop Setup menu.
When using the Acapela in desktop mode (with a monitor and mouse) you will be able to find an Update button
in this menu. When a new firmware version is available, place the firmware update file on a freshly FAT-32
formatted USB flash drive. The Update button will appear about 5 seconds after inserting the flash drive into
a free USB port. Click the Update button to perform the firmware update. Make sure no files other than the
firmware update are on the USB flash disc.
Network Options
Users can adjust their network settings in this menu, only available through the Acapela 16’s onboard system
(so don’t go looking for this menu when using the iPad). By using either the Wi-Fi or Ethernet capabilities of
the Acapela 16, you are able to control the internal software using iPad tablets.
Mode Buttons:
At the top of the Network tab’s main screen you can find 2 buttons: Wi-Fi and Ethernet. Users
can select Wi-Fi or Ethernet when wanting to use either of these protocols.
DHCP Server / Client:
When your local network runs off a DHCP protocol, the network will automatically as-
sign your Acapela 16 an IP address. If your network runs off a DHCP server, you can turn it on here. When the
DHCP Server is set to “ON” the button will turn blue.
IP Address:
When not using a DHCP server, you can enter an IP address for your Acapela here.

Gateway:
A gateway is a device that can connect other devices in a network that use different types of proto-
cols. This is typically your router, but a computer could also serve as a gateway.
SSID:
SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. This is essentially the name of your mixer as it relates to your IEEE
802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) and must be entered for the Acapela to connect to your network.
