Trouble updating RFR Net3 via USB

Hi,

 

I read all the posts about the new RFR firmware, but I couldn't find any answer to my problem... I updated both remote and base station on my laptop using GCE through USB. It seemed to work fine, but here's what the remote shows when i boot it.

 

 

Any idea???

One more thing. How can I make sure the Base Station can reboot properly? GCE says I have to plug it with the network cable, which I don't want tu use...

 

Thank you for answering

  • That display means that the remote is trying to connect to a console using the mini-USB socket on the top. You need to tell it to connect to the Congo via the base station instead.

    • Turn it off, and turn it back on again holding down the [.] key.
    • It should then boot up, connect to the base station and then show a list of console connections.
      • The top one says "Direct USB" - this means 'Use the mini-USB socket on top", so don't choose it.
      • Make sure the Congo is connected to the base station and running.
        • For USB, connect the base station before booting the console.
        • For Ethernet, make sure that "ACN" is enabled in the Protocols tab of System Settings. ("sACN" is different)
    • After a while you will see "Congo (Congo)" or similar appear in the list. Scroll to that and hit [Chan/Enter] to select.
    • You should now be connected!

    Once you've set this, the handset remembers which console you connected to last time and automatically searches for it when you turn it back on.

    Richard, You are the Man!

    Everything works fine now! Congo is running, remote is jumping around, everybody is happy and the sun is shining!

     

    Maybe I missed it, but is there a kind of list for all these shortcuts on the RFR?  a user manual?

     

    Thanks again, I love Congo, I love RFR, I love Congo forum !
