Error reported

also

"Network error connecting to audio peripheral while setting IP address, Error Code 12. Driver Message: Error receiving network traffic: connection aborted"


Reason
This problem is caused by the windows machine periodically losing the DHCP address that it is receiving from the APU.

Solution

To solve this problem, the network connection to the APU needs to be configured with a static IP address.  

To do this:

1) Click Start Menu > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center or Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center
2) Click Change adapter settings
3) Right click on the Mimosa Acoustics USB/Ethernet Adapter choice
4) Click Properties
5) Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
6) Click Properties
7) Select Use the following IP address
8) Enter the IP address 10.77.65.2,  Enter the Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
9) Click OK

This forces the connection to the APU to use a static IP address.  This should fix the intermittent dropping of the IP connection.
