4 Installation and quickstart
If you want to use the
X.8
for the first time, you first of all have to install Bonjour, a PC
service provided by Apple to automatically recognize compatible devices, as well as the
X.8
device driver with the control software on a compatible PC.
1. Download the software (Bonjour Print Services for Windows) from the following
website and install it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999
(Make sure that your firewall settings allow you to use the UDP port 5353.)
2. The
X.8
device driver and control software (
X.8
GUI) can be found on the CD
provided. Start the
setup.exe
file on the CD and follow the instructions that appear
on your screen. After the software has been successfully installed, the
X.8
GUI
(
Aubion.X8.exe
) can be found in the
\AUBION\X.8\bin
folder in
Program
Files
. Start the software by clicking the desktop symbol or go to the Windows start
menu, to the
AUBION\X.8
folder and click
AUBION X.8
.
3. Connect the network cable to one of the two
X.8
network interfaces and connect the
device to the network in which the software installation is also located. Connect the
mains adapter provided to the
X.8
and switch it on. Two lines (--) first of all appear on
the two-digit display and, after ten seconds, a numerical value is displayed. The
network activity LEDs on the back of the device should flash.
4. If everything has been correctly installed, the
X.8
name appears in the main window
of the
X.8
GUI in max. 60 seconds after you have switched on the
X.8
device list
(
Device:
)
5. After selecting the
X.8
in the list, you can configure it using the
X.8
GUI. An ASIO-
capable application (e.g. EASERA SysTune) can be started to carry out
measurements after the
X.8
ASIO driver has been selected in this application (
ASIO:
AUBION X.8
).
