Need help getting Apex setup

I can help out! I’m in Dike - not too far from Clarksville. I could bring my display along so we can get it running. Once it’s running, you can do MOST things via Apex’s Fusion web interface.

Wireless will work for everything, bu Apex does suggest a hard wired connection when doing firmware updates.

Shoot me a PM with your address. I may be able to stop by some night after work next week. This week and weekend are pretty busy for us.

I've been using APEX for several years. I'm not a fan of the Fusion web interface however. I prefer the app for several reasons. I'm in Waverly. Let me know if you need a hand.

 

I don’t know if a way to find it without the display. Someone else may know how but I sure don’t.

 

Yes, I do not know for sure either. You might want to give Neptune Systems a shout out or ask/check on their Forum: Neptune Systems Community

 

If you hook your apex and a laptop directly to your router, download the "apex browser utility" software onto the lap top, you can directly connect to the apex and perform about any kind of setup you want. You can also get a token through that avenue. You might need to create a fusion account first.

 

I think you need to have both the laptop and apex hooked to your router, not directly together. When it works the way it's supposed to, you then open the browser utility and it will list the apex it finds on your home network. highlight that apex on the list then the "open in browser" button will become active and you can click it. if that worked you will need to enter a username of admin and a pw of password or 1234, can't remember for sure. this should access your apex main dashboard. Use internet explorer, it doesn't like chrome.
If I remember right, on the main dashboard page there is a button labeled "link" or "get token" you click that and after a while you get a code to enter, I think it showed up in the link button.
...pasted from the manual;
Link your controller to Apex Fusion a. After signing into your Apex Fusion account, you’ll see a message to “Link” an Apex with Apex Fusion, Select this. b. Enter your link token from 5c above. c. See Chapter 7 for more information on utilizing and using Apex Fusion
After a successful link the button used to get a token code will change to "fusion ok"

 

That's a bummer,...Any way you can contact the previous owner to see what they may have changed the login to?

 

@got2lb - Just now reading this. Sorry I didn’t see it sooner. I’d love to come over and help. However, we leave Saturday for Florida. We’ll be back next Friday. Maybe we can set up a time next weekend?

 

I helped another reefer out who had this exact same issue (second hand Apex without a screen). We had to hook it up to my screen in order to change the unknown password/factory reset. Once that was done you can do pretty much everything else via the web interface (not the Fusion site). You can get Fusion set up from either the web interface or while you have the temporary display hooked up. Once that's all running you should be fine without the display... just don't forget your login!

I have a display but I rarely use it for anything... I have a dedicated Kindle Fire which I use to control everything.
