Windows Installation
System Requirements
PC computer with a processor 1GHz or higher
Windows 7 or higher
500MB of available space
1GB graphics card
4GB RAM
1. Download the latest version of XConsole from the Xilica website (www.xilica.com).
2. Open the downloaded .zip file.
3. Then open the XConsoleSetup_v0904.exe file.
4. An installation window will appear. Click Install to continue.
5. Allow the program to complete the installation process. This may take a several minutes.
6. When complete, Windows will ask for permission to allow firewall access. The suggested
setting is to allow XConsole to communicate in Private networks, such as home or work.
Allow access to public networks at your own discretion. Check the appropriate boxes, then
click Allow Access to finish.
7. XConsole is now installed.
8
Launch XConsole
Locate the XConsole application on your Desktop or Applications folder.
Double click the application to launch the software.
Devices will display as a list on the left. Double click a device to open the device parameters.
9
Connection Troubleshoot
Please make sure that you are using the latest version of XConsole (v9.04).
For serial port/USB,
1. Open up the XConsole software.
2. Under the Setup tab at the top, select Port Connection.
3. A window will appear. Click on Device Manager.
4. Under Ports (COM & LPT), a Silicon Labs device will display.
If this is not displayed, try reconnecting the device (Disconnect and reconnect cable).
5. Please note the COM port of the device.
6. Navigate back to the Connection Setup window in XConsole and change the COM Port to the
COM Port # that was listed in Device Manager. Make sure that the Online box is checked. Then
click OK.
7. Restart XConsole and the device will now be connected.
In addition, the COM port has to be COM1 to COM8. To check if there is another software
running taking the COM port:
1. Open Terminal (Either click Command Prompt in XConsole or type Command at the Windows
start button Search programs and files area.
2. Close XConsole if it is opened.
3. Type Mode COM# where COM# is the Com Port# shown in Device Manager for Silabs.
If the port is available, it will show the serial port settings. (Don’t worry about the values, they
are not important.) If it says it is unavailable, then some software is taking up the port.
If the port is available, then set this port number in XConsole. The device should connect
successfully.
If the device is still not connecting, try assigning an manual static IP Address to the device. Please
note that this connection is done via Ethernet Cat5 cable.
10
Cat5 Ethernet connection
X Series IP Address can be configured on the front panel of the device or in the software.
1. On the front panel of the device, click the Enter button to enter the System menu.
2. Use the Menu arrows to navigate to the Ethernet menu.
The device IP Address can be viewed. To configure the device network settings, use the cursor
arrows and jog wheel to change the values.
3. Click Enter to save changes.
To view the IP address in XConsole,
1. Open XConsole.
2. Double click the connected device in the Device list. The device window will pop up.
3. Select the Device button located at the bottom left of the window. The device IP Address and
network settings are displayed.

Firmware Upgrade
Please note that using an older version of software with a newer firmware or newer software with
an older firmware will work but some of the features may not be available and bugs could exist.
We recommend upgrading the software and firmware to the latest versions.
Before you begin, check your software and firmware versions.
The device firmware version can be found on the front panel of the device. Upon boot up of
the device, the current device firmware version will briefly display on the front panel or enter the
System menu using the Enter key and navigate to the Information tab to view the current device
firmware.
To view the current software version, click on the About tab at the top of the software.
Firmware Upgrade Procedure:
Save any design files from the device onto your computer as all programmed data on the device
will be erased during the upgrade process. After the firmware upgrade is completed, the design
file can be loaded back into your device.
1. The device must be online and connected via USB or RS232 in order to perform a firmware
upgrade.
2. Download the latest firmware version for your device from the Xilica website (www.xilica.com).
3. Select the device you would like to upgrade. At the top of the software, select Upgrade >Firmware. Make sure your device data is saved before proceeding.
Click Yes to continue.
Navigate to the file in which you downloaded the new Firmware file. Click Open.
12
The green status bar in the device window will display the Firmware Upgrade process. This may
take several minutes. DO NOT POWER OFF THE DEVICE. Powering off the device during a Firm-
ware Upgrade can result in a complete corruption of the processor.
Once the Firmware file has completed, the device will need to be manually switched Off and On
again. The software will also need to be rebooted.
13
Export/Import Files and Going Online
To load device settings from the computer to the device, or save settings from the device to the
computer,
1. Open the device parameters.
2. Click Preset located at the bottom left of the window.
3. There are three options:
Transfer Presets from PC to Device.
Transfer Presets from Device to PC.
Presets within Device only.
Select an option and click Proceed.
It is recommended to back up project files to an external location.
Saved project files will have a .xdat extension at the end of the file name.
14
Navigate Front Panel
Upon powering up the unit, the unit will start up and display the device model and firmware
version.
***** XILICA -4080 *****
-4080 v9.00B
Once initialized, the device screen will display the current program number and program name
assigned to the unit.
***** XILICA -4080 *****

If the program number ends with *, it means that no program is assigned, the last data before
previous power down is recalled instead.
Channel Menus
Channel Linking
While holding down the <<Menu or Menu>> button, more than one channel from the same input
or output group can be selected to link the channels together. The green LEDs below the for the
mute buttons are lit for the linked channels.
Any modification of the data will be applied to all linked channels. To cancel linking, simply
deselect the desired channel while holding the <<Menu or Menu>> buttons, or press the Exit key
to deselect all channels.
When a channel(s) is selected, the front panel menu will display the settings.
Use the Menu buttons to navigate menus, Cursor buttons to navigate parameters, enter to save to
