STARTING THE SOFTWARE
Find the Xilica Designer software on your desktop or in the application folder. Double-click the software to start it.
You can now create a new design project or open a design project, start the network view, or start the Dante view.
NETWORK VIEW
The network view displays all processors and control units on the network. Here you can find device information such as connection status,
computer IP address, device IP address, Mac address, device name, manufacturer and firmware version.
The connected processor(s) should be visible in network view. There is a connection status indicator in the top left corner of each device block.
Green: The device is connected and ready for operation.
Yellow: The device is connected and online but is not ready for operation. Move the cursor over the network indicator, and a pop-up window will
display a message with information about the detected problem. (The message usually says that no device design is loaded).
Red: The device is not connected and is offline. There is no communication between Xilica Designer software and the device. Please check all cables
and connections and make sure that the device is switched on. If the processor is performing a firmware upgrade or restarting, there may be a
temporary interruption.
From time to time, you may see an exclamation mark (!). This means that a firmware upgrade is available. This does not normally require
immediate intervention, but the project file does not contain updated models since the earlier firmware is not supported. Further details can be
found in the Xilica Designer help file or in the LD Systems ZoneX FAQ.
