I have a senario where I need to be able to run two x10 transmitters on my system - these will eventually be on seperate PC's.
To accomplish this I have looked into using xAP, but I'm completely lost!
I think I understand the basics of xAP - where the devices which are doing the controlling are essentially taken outside of the HS interface, and replaced with an xAP interface/conduit - but I just cant get it to work...
The ultimate goal is to have 1 x Ti103 device and 1 x CM12U
To start with I have tried to get the Ti103 to work alone.
I have installed a xfxhub onto the machine and can see that this runs as a service. I can see the heartbeat using a xfx message viewer.
I have installed and have run the xapmcsTI103 application.
This appears in the system tray - it allows for setup of the port but the other options (System Config & System Status & Help) do not do anything when clicked.
I can see the TI103 heartbeat in the xfx message viewer also.
Next I installed hspi_xAP2.ocx - in the configuration tab I was unsure what to enter as the X10 Target and have tried various permutations of IP address and computer name without any luck.
Ultimatley I can see in the xfx viewer that the list of my devices is populated.
The issue is that I can not figure out how to control these devices through the xAP.
I have spent days reading information from all over the xAP forums, but I'm still no further forward - is there an idiots guide that I have missed, or can someone give me some pointers how to set this up ?
