Apache Labs ANAN-10 Users Guide
Introduction
ANAN-10 is a digital-down-conversion (DDC) and digital-up-conversion (DUC) Software Defined HF transceiver.
The ANAN-10 was cooperatively designed by the OpenHPSDR Team and Apache Labs. Kevin Wheatley M0KHZ
and the OpenHPSDR group developed the “Hermes” brand Transceiver board as an integrated version of three
of their original backplane PCB's (Mercury + Metis + Penelope).
The Apache Labs ANAN includes the Hermes design in a series of new transceivers. The ANAN 10 provides
either a 100 baseT or Gigabit (1000 baseT) Ethernet inerface to the host PC. It does not require a sound card
DSP, Firewire(TM), or USB interface.
Future ANAN-10 firmware updates can be achieved via the Ethernet connection, eliminating the need for special
programming adapters. For more information, see Appendix I – Updating The Hermes Firmware.
ANAN-10 can be used with a number of different PC Software Defined Radio programs including those written
for Windows, Linux and MacOS/X operating systems.

Minimum Requirements
Computer basic requirements
1. Intel Pentium 4, 3 Ghz (bare minimum), or Intel i3, 2ghz or better (recommended).
2. 2GB Ram, or 4GB Ram (recommended).
3, 1280x1024 display screen resolution recommended
4. Windows XP or newer (Win7 recommended). It is possible some older machines will not give
satisfactory performance, regardless of processor speed.
5. Computer with Full Duplex Ethernet NIC card capable of 100 baseT or 1000 baseT (gigabit
recommended) Ethernet port.
6. Full Duplex Ethernet switch or router with 1 free 100mbs or 1000mbs (gigabit recommended)
Ehternet port.
7. CAT5E or CAT6 (recommended) Ethernet patch cable to connect ANAN-10 to Ethernet switch, router
orcomputer.
Older and slower computers may require considerable optimization before they can provide necessary
performance for trouble free SDR operation. This optimization may require that certain applications and services
be stopped in order for Hermes to operate correctly. It is possible some older machines will not give satisfactory
performance, regardless of processor speed.
