Launch the Xilica Designer Software
Upon launching the Xilica Designer software, a start-up window will pop up.
You may select a ‘New Design Project’, ‘Open Design Project’, ‘Start Network View’ or ‘Start Dante View’.
(Network and Dante View are also available within the Xilica Designer software).
Select ‘Start Network View’.
Network view
The Network View displays all processors and control devices on the network. The Network View displays
information such as the device model, a network connection indicator, Computer address, IP address,
Manufacturer and the firmware version.
In Network View, you should see your device(s) listed.
At the top left of the device block is a network connection indicator. This indicator displays three colors: red,
yellow and green. (Circled in Red)
Network Connection Indicators:
Green: The device is Connected and operational.
Yellow: The device is Connected and online, but not operational. Hovering over the network indicator
will display a pop-up message of identified problems. (Normally this would indicate that no
device design is loaded.)
Red: The device is not connected and offline. There is no communication between the Xilica
Designer software and the device. Please check all cables, modular cards, connections and
power. If the processor is busy performing a firmware upgrade or is in the process of
rebooting, this may be a temporary offline interruption.
At times you may just see an exclamation mark (!). This indicates that a firmware upgrade is available.
Normally this is not an issue unless there are updated modules in the project file that the outdated firmware
does not support.
