What good is my Apex if I'm not even hooked up! Who buys a $500 controller and keeps it in the draw LOL
thanks
Richie
That would be you doc lol I see the only way your gonna hook it up is if I come by and force/help you do it lol
LOL Thanks Bro. I do plan to have it up an rolling by our June meeting at my office.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up Neptune came out with a update for the aqua controller new version is 4.05-4B11
Upgrades real easy....and none of your programming is lost.
Download the firmware from Neptune, http://www.neptunesys.com/apex_4_05.zip
Unzip all the files, just run the zpp you downloaded, note where it is.
Run the Apex flash utility
Fill in all fields, defaults are auto filled in there but if you changed the password or port you will need to change them in the software.
Update firmware.
Update web pages.
Log into controller and verify new firmware, Configuration -> Network Setup (on bottom)
Update all modules, Configuration -> Module Setup
Choose each module from the pull down, select the upgrade firmware button and submit.
Only warning is not to do the upgrade via wireless connections, wireless upgrade has a high fail rate.
Will this upgrade work with a MAC? If so, how? I downloaded the zip file and it is a windows file. BTW, I use a MAC because Im not computer savvy...
Guys, I'm planning on getting a controller. Do they have to be hooked up by Ethernet? Of can they be ran wirelessly?

Thanks for the advice to borrow a PC for the firmware update. Took less than 5 minutes once I figured out that I had to run an ethernet cable to to the controller and disable the wireless bridge. Now, my only issue is getting the APEX app to connect when I leave my home wireless network. I am using a MAC laptop and an apple wireless router. The app works fine when I am at home but as soon as I leave I get the "connection failed" message. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. I read somewhere to change my port away from 80. I changed it to 801 and my DHCP is off on the apex controller.
Signed,
Confused and waaayyy over my head with this network stuff.
