A NETWORK CONNECTION BETWEEN HOST COMPUTER AND ZONEX PROCESSOR CAN BE CREATED AS FOLLOWS:
A. ROUTER WITH ACTIVATED DHCP SERVER (RECOMMENDED)
When using a router with an enabled DHCP server, the ZoneX processor automatically acquires the IP address during start-up, as soon as the
connection exists. It is recommended to use a router and PoE switch if further control units/controllers from other manufacturers are connected to
the network. This combination provides a DHCP server and also facilitates the power supply for the connected devices. We recommend using Linksys
routers and Netgear switches.
Note: Routers/switches with activated DHCP server should generally be switched on first. And all Ethernet cables should be connected to the
hardware before the devices are switched on. This will allow for a correct IP address assignment.
First, turn on the router/switch.
Then connect the host computer to a DHCP enabled router via an Ethernet cable.
Connect the router to the ZoneX processor via an Ethernet cable.
Connect the ZoneX processor to the mains and switch it on.
B. NON-DHCP-BASED DIRECT CONNECTION OR INDIRECT CONNECTION VIA ETHERNET SWITCH
If the processor is directly connected to a computer or indirectly via a switch and no DHCP server is available, the connection cannot be established
automatically.
Therefore, non-DHCP-based connections must be configured manually. Further details can be found in the Xilica Designer help file or in the LD
Systems ZoneX FAQ.

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.

FIRMWARE UPGRADE
Please note that the use of an old software version with new firmware or the use of new software with old firmware works in principle but the
range of functions may be limited or the functionality may not be optimal in all cases.
We recommend always using the latest versions of software and firmware.
Before you start, check the software and firmware versions.
To check the device’s firmware version, ensure that your device is switched on and online. The network view marks devices available for a firmware
upgrade with a yellow triangle using an exclamation mark. In addition, the device’s firmware version is also listed in the device block for the
respective device.
The current software version is displayed when you click on About in the menu in the top bar.
FIRMWARE UPGRADE PROCEDURE
Save the device’s design file on your computer as all programmed data will be deleted from the device during the upgrade. When the firmware
upgrade is complete, the design file can be reloaded on the device.
The device must be online and ready for operation to perform a firmware upgrade.
The newest firmware version for the corresponding Zone X model can be downloaded from the LD Systems website (www.ld-systems.com).
Right-click in network view on a device block and select “Firmware Upgrade”.
DEUTSCH ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLPOLSKIITALIANO
12
A warning then appears that the firmware upgrade will delete all data from your device. Confirm with “OK” to continue.
A dropdown menu now appears from which you can select the desired firmware file from a file system or a firmware version previously
downloaded via the “Device Firmware Manager” (in the “Device Management” menu). Confirm with “Ok” and find the folder where you saved the
new firmware file. Select the file and click “Open”.

A status bar in the device window shows the progress of the firmware upgrade.
DO NOT SWITCH THE DEVICE OFF OR DISCONNECT IT FROM THE COMPUTER. If the device if switched off or disconnected from the computer during the
firmware upgrade, this may result in a complete corruption of the processor. In this case, a “USB Firmware Recovery” must be performed.
As soon as the firmware file is successfully downloaded to the device, it automatically restarts and the internal data is updated. This may take a few
minutes. During this time, the network indicator is RED and the device is offline.
When the firmware upgrade is complete, the green “ON” indication reappears.
NOTE: The yellow area with the message “No Data” means that no design has been loaded to the device.

PROJECT VIEW
There are two ways to create a new project:
AUTO CONFIGURATION
If your device is listed in network view, select it and click in the top right on Create New Project from Selected Device(s). This automatically takes
you to the project view and enables you to select a design template.
EMPTY PROJECT
The second option is to create a new project via File > New Project.
If you start with an empty project, Xilica Designer asks which DSP series you want to use. ZoneX is based on the Solaro DSP series, so choose
Solaro Series.
1. “COMPONENT LIBRARY” MENU
This menu provides a list of devices and design modules for use in your project. Find the ZoneX processor in LD Systems > Processors.
2. WORK AREA

DESIGN
For demonstration purposes, in this case only one DSP hardware block will be used, however a design can also include several DSP hardware objects.
A project design can be created offline (without connected hardware) and loaded on your device later.
1. Drag and drop the desired DSP module, ZoneX1208 in this case, from the "Component Library" into the work area.
2. A selection window appears with all design templates (Select Design Template). Select one of the templates offered and you’ll see a brief
description and overview of its key features. Select a suitable template for your project, and confirm with Ok.
Detailed descriptions of the different templates can be found in the FAQ on LD Systems ZoneX.
3. The ZoneX processor is configured accordingly.
DEUTSCH ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLPOLSKIITALIANO

8. If you have changed the settings offline, save your project in the desired location by clicking on File > Save As. If you have changed an existing
project file, save this using File > Save. You get the same effect by clicking on the “Save” symbol in the top right of the work area.
It is a good idea to save backups of project files externally.
The file extension (naming extension) for saved project files is .pjxml.
ONLINE MODE
If you select online mode, the design file is loaded on the connected device(s) and you can make changes in real time.
In this case, all devices must be connected and online (green “ON” indicator in network view).
To switch to online mode, the device module must be assigned to the physical hardware.
1. Select the device module you want to assign from the project view.
2. Right-click on the device module and select Map to Physical Device.
3. The recognised devices are now listed with their Mac addresses. If several identical devices are connected to the network, they can be identidied
by their Mac addresses. Network view shows the Mac addresses for the individual devices.
It is very important that the name of the device block in the design file precisely matches the unit in the network view, otherwise the design
cannot be loaded on the corresponding hardware.
