babadono Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Hmmmmm.......what have you tried so far? I think i just gave it an I.P. address via the front panel then hooked up my laptop and BOOM. It was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you connect the ether port to a switch on your network, or direct to your laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Watch the xilica video online from the company itself. It gives you specifics that you need to solve your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 @TexDrone I went(still go) direct laptop to Xilica via ethernet. So USB? sorry no experience with that. @Westcoastdrums probably has the best suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has something to do with the USB driver that communicates with the board in the Xilica, it does not work with Windows 10. Long story short, I connected a network cable to the ether port and everything works. I don't think the firmware can be upgraded over ether, at least not according to the manual, but I doubt they are still putting firmware out for these models.

I was just trying to wrap my head around how a new electronic component with onboard usb, serial, and ethernet was not able to plug and play with Windows 10. I rarely use Windows outside of work, except for these types of scenarios where some gadget I own does not play nice with Linux. I read several threads on various forums where someone was having issues getting their Xilica XP series to work with a Mac, but not windows. Now I wonder if it works with Windows 10 using a serial cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear no audible negative effects with my amp plugged into this unit vs straight into the wall either. They give military discounts as well. Give em a try.

Was the power failure just a power outage, or did you have a surge/spike event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current versions is 9.10.
