Install the NeuConsole Software
:
The USB drive included with each processor includes a full copy of the Neutrino’s NeuConsole
software (including Microsoft’s .net framework component) or you can download the Windows 8,
7, Vista, XP compatible NeuConsole software from our web site and install on your computer
(www.xilica.com). Determine which has the most recent software version and use that one.
•
When installing our NeuConsole software via our website and where your PC software does
not include Microsoft’s .net framework component - your PC will use the internet to secure a
copy and continue the installation. If you have no internet connection you will need to use
the included Xilica USB drive for your software installation as it also provides the Microsoft
.net frame work component. Or contact Xilica tech support.
Note:
The Microsoft installation program/process remembers what location you installed from -
the first time you load the NeuConsole software into your computer. This can cause issues if you
try and load a new software Version (update) from a different location than the location originally
used to load the NeuConsole software into your computer (USB, Internet Download, etc).
Solution:
Simply un-install the old NeuConsole software version in Control Panel before you
update your software version each time. You won’t have any update issues and you won’t have
to remember what location you loaded the software from previously or what the source was -
USB, Internet, etc.
•
Make sure the NeuConsole Software version is the latest version (see “About” menu in
NeuConsole to view version) vs. version on the web site. Make sure the processors
Firmware version is compatible with the software (view device firmware version in
Network View). See firmware upgrade info on Page 11- #14.
•
If you have a personal Firewall setup on your computer, a Firewall popup window might be
displayed during the software installation to ask whether users want to “Block” or “Allow”
NeuConsole from accessing the network. Select “Allow” to continue installation.
•
Once installed and working – close the NeuConsole software for now until you are instructed
to open it again.
