(f) Your devices will appear Offline until you assign a static IP address for your PC as described
below.
(g) Once all processors and devices have their own unique IP address we will do the same for
your PC in #14 below.
14. A Static IP Address for your Computer - Multiple Devices – No DHCP:
In this section, we will be navigating through Microsoft Windows to determine your home
networking information as it applies to manually assigning a unique static IP address to your
computer.
(a) The first step is to open the
'Start Menu'
and select
Control
Panel
.
(b) Click
View Network Status
and
Tasks
under the Network and
Internet header as shown at the right.
(c) Click on
Change adapter settings
on the left most tab.
(d) Left-Click on
Local Area Connection
and click the
Properties
button. Select
Internet Protocol Version 4
(TCP/IPv4
) then click
Properties
to access the manual
IP settings.
(e) Set up your IP address to be
192.168.1.X
where the X can be any value from 0 – 255 – but
unique from the other devices that you already manually assigned unique IP addresses to.
(f)
Use the following settings for your PC’s unique static address
:
IP Address: 192.168.1.X
(Example – IP might be 192.168.1.185 based on my
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
unique
device addresses above)
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers: 192.168.1.1
(g) If you set up your devices as per step 13 on Page 9 & 10 above, you will now see them
appear online and connected in
Network View
in the NeuConsole software.
15. Firmware Upgrade to Processor Device:
Once you have the processor device and the NeuConsole software connected and operational
and before you start work on a DSP design project - make sure your processor has the latest
firmware installed (
www.xilica.com
– verify, download latest firmware, save file to your PC and
proceed below with firmware upgrade procedure if required).
Note: Do not disrupt power during the Firmware Upgrade process.
•
In Network View
as shown below left – Right click the device, Select “
Firmware Upgrade
”
from the menu and follow the instructions.
•
As indicated during the firmware upgrade procedure – a firmware upgrade will erase all
saved data on the device. Thus perform this procedure before you load a complete DSP
Design Project into the processor device (or re-transfer/save a saved project design file to the
processor device after the processor firmware upgrade is complete).
