[Branespikin]

Hi Guys,
Can someone please tell me where to find and hiw to control my Apex ready Waveline Dc10000 pump. I connected it to my apex with cat5 cable but nothing pops up in Apex Fusion dashboard.
Thanks

I don't think you can connect using a standard cat5 cable. There are threads about how to rewire a cat5 to make it work. I just waited until waveline manufactured the cable and purchased it online.

Oh well that makes sense than. I read somewhere just regular cat5. I knew it couldn't be so simple. Thx for link. Placing order now.

I guess when i get thise cables ill figure it out from there. Is there any ither special thing i need to know about? Just plug in and hopefully something will pop up or happen

Yep...it was pretty much plug and play...

Plug one of the 2 ends into the Waveline Controller

The other end into the APEX VDM

The Waveline showed up in my APEX dashboard...I renamed it WavelineIII...(note: I have the Waveline power plugged into by EB8- tho not necessary)

And I just have a simple Feed program for now...

So did some researching and back and forth on my fusion and apex and got it working. So i hooked it up with regular Cat5e cable no mods nothing just plugged it in waveline controller and other end into apex. I have new apex so it has the twp ports on bottom for Varspd1-4. The ports have green lights showing they are ON. So i went into fusion and turned Varspd off one by one and when you turn off the green light goes of so thats how i located which port it was plugged into. It was varspd1. Clicked on settings and pressed wizard button to open up programming. Very important you lower the pump speed to lowest setting on actual waveline controller. Than i set up my pump in the Fusion wizard and it works. I can control my waveline pump bia Apex.
