Activation
Plug the AP820’s Ethernet plug into the Ethernet socket on the PC, and power up the
laser. The AP820 has a default IP address of 192.168.1.245 - Port 1096. Subnet
Mask is 255.255.255.0. For sensors older than 4/2014 please use the IP address of
192.168.123.222 with Port 3000. It can be programmed to use another “working” IP
address via software. If you don’t know how the AP820 is configured when you first
receive it, you can restore it to the default IP address by pressing the “reset IP” button
on the side of the laser.
Configure the PC’s TCP/IP properties as follows (assuming we are using the laser’s
default IP address):
Use the Demo Program included in zip files on the CD or available for download from
the Acuity website. This program can be used for testing and demonstration of the
general operation of the scanner. Through the demo program, one can configure
scanner settings and even perform real scans and data archiving.
