SECTION 5 PROGRAMMING APPLICATIONS
5.1 Programming the Consolette
Programming and setup of the Consolette is required prior to use. Refer to the APX 7500
Consolette detailed service manual for more details regarding the configuration of the Consolette
using a web browser. Initial programming involves two programming methods:
• Setup of the transceiver codeplug using APX CPS.
• Setup of the internal Consolette controller card using a web browser to access the built-
in Configuration App.
NOTE: All programming can be accomplished without removal of the Consolette lid.

5.1.1.2 PC requirements for On Board Configuration Application
Consolette configuration is performed using a standard web browser interface, either by way of the
Ethernet network or the USB port. The Consolette configuration pages have been tested with
Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8 and with Firefox 3.x, and should be compatible with any comparable
browser. Consolette configuration requires the browser to have Javascript enabled.
5.1.1.3 Network security requirements for On Board Configuration
Application
Consolette configuration is protected by a basic username/password. The Consolette does not
support secure browsing (e.g. HTTPS or SSL). If a higher level of security is required by the
customer, the Consolette should be placed on a secured network. Physical access to the Ethernet
and USB connectors should be restricted to approved personnel.
