I purchased a used Apex Lite and i'm trying to connect it so I can start using it. First and foremost, this in my first controller so i'm not knowledgeable about Apex at all.
I have my apex wired via ethernet to my router and my pc hard wired to the same router. I downloaded the latest software and while running the Flash Utility I get the following.
Loading firmware file into memory
Firmware file load complete...

The controller address is: 192.168.1.50
Connecting to controller at address: 192.168.1.50
Connecting
Apex running in boot loader mode
Trying to connect: attempt 1
Waiting for input from Apex, timed out
Trying to connect: attempt 2
Found ARP entry at address: 192.168.1.171
Waiting for input from Apex, timed out
Trying to connect: attempt 3
Found ARP entry at address: 192.168.1.171
Also, on my display the IP address reads 192.168.1.50
On the main display it reads Apex Fusion: Down.
When I try to type the IP address into a browser page it times out as well.
I really have no idea how to proceed. Firewall and anti virus are both off. I've been tinkering with this thing all weekend on and off. Doing my research and trying other solutions I've come across and nothing is working. I still end up with the same result which is nothing. I'm close to giving up on the controller but I really want to get it working.
