The A1560 SONIC (hereinaer “A1560”) is a product line of ultrasonic flaw detectors designed for stand-alone and integra-
ted use in laboratory and industrial measurement and testing applications, allowing the ultrasonic data acquisition of different
materials.
The main purpose of this document is to provide the user with additional information regarding the advanced configuration
of the instrument. Before reading, it is highly recommended that you familiarize yourself with further A1560 documents:
• A1560 Getting Started
• A1560 Programming Manual
• A1560 User Manual
Read this manual carefully before using the device to ensure safe and proper use.

FIRMWARE UPDATE
The A1560’s firmware can be updated with a newer version or with a special firmware developed at the user’s request. A
standard USB 2.0 A-to-B “printer” cable (not included) is required for the update.
To put the unit into DFU (device firmware update) mode:
1. Connect the A1560 to AC power via the included power supply unit
2. Power the A1560 OFF with the POWER button on its front panel (Fig.1 Pos.1). Wait for the built-in indicator to turn off.
3. Press and hold the DFU button on the rear panel of the A1560 (Fig.2 Pos.6).
4. While holding the DFU button pressed, switch on the A1560. The built-in state indicator should start blinking, indicating
that the A1560 is in DFU mode.
3.1 PUTTING THE A1560 INTO FIRMWARE UPDATE MODE
TABLE 1 POWER LED INDICATION IN DFU MODE
Symbol Description
Slow blinking (once per second) DFU idle: waiting for a firmware/configuration file
Fast blinking (twice per second) Firmware update is in progress.
To put the A1560 back into normal mode, switch off the A1560 while in DFU idle state (slow indicator blinking) and then
switch it back on again.
DO NOT switch the A1560 off while the firmware update is in progress (fast blinking). Otherwise, the
unit may be damaged.

3.2 UPLOADING A NEW FIRMWARE FILE TO THE A1560
Only firmware update files obtained from ACS should be uploaded to the A1560.
To upload the firmware update file obtained from ACS to the A1560:
1. Connect the USB connector located on the rear panel of the A1560 (Fig.2 Pos.8) to a PC with a standard USB 2.0 A-B cable.
2. Start the A1560 in DFU mode. The state indicator should start blinking slowly and a new USB drive should be detected by the
PC’s operating system.
3. Copy the device firmware update file to the USB drive that appeared when the A1560 was switched to DFU mode. The state
indicator should start blinking rapidly, indicating that the firmware update is in progress.
4. Wait about a minute until the state indicator switches to slow blinking again, indicating that the firmware update is finished.
5. Reboot the A1560 in normal mode.

4.1 ACCESSING A NETWORK CONFIGURATION
WEB INTERFACE.
Wi-Fi and Ethernet interfaces of the A1560 can be configured to make it compatible with other devices in the same network
segment or according to a specific user task. An internal networking subsystem of the A1560 runs on the OpenWrt system, allowing
network set-up operations in a user-friendly environment that many IT specialists are familiar with. For that reason, only the most
essential tasks are described in this document. The following description of configuration steps assumes that readers are knowled-
geable about basic networking concepts.
It is advised that network configuration is performed by an IT specialist.
By default, the A1560 network subsystem is le unprotected to simplify getting it into operation.
The A1560 connected to an organization’s local area network without adequate security measures CAN and WILL be used as an
entry point for a network intrusion. Use the A1560 in an isolated network segment; otherwise, consider at the very least setting
Wi-Fi and configuration passwords.
1. Connect the A1560 to a PC via Wi-Fi or Ethernet
2. Open the PC’s web browser and enter the IP address of the A1560 internal router into the browser’s address line.
Default IP is 192.168.1.1
A welcome page like the one shown in Fig. 3 should appear.
