arfr on element 1.9.11

I have followed all the steps in the wiki article.  The console is shown as online.  when I connect I get the rfr display but immediately get an error message connection error disconnected from console.  I can ping from phone to console and back again.  I am using the element's dhcp function.  What do I try next???

My phone is a Motorola RAZR running android 4.04  the app is v1.02r19.  the element runs 1.9.11

  • Hi Robt,

    what is IP address and Subnet Mask of the Android Device and 

    of the Ion?

  • Many thanks but I've now fixed it. It was the password. I had set the element name to lds and setup the phone accordingly. However when I changed both to LDS-ELEMENT it sprang into life. I'm unclear whether it was the use of lower case, the length or whether I had stored a carriage return in the android password field and this then didn't match! Perhaps one of these days I'll do some proper tests but life is short when in the middle of a fitup.

    All I have to do now is read the RFR  manual to find out how to use it properly but it has earned its keep already..

    To answer your question, the element is 10.101.97.101 (the default). I set up the element dns to provide 10.101.97.105 onwards and the net mask to 255.255.0.0. The phone then gets 10.101.97.105 as you would expect.

    Regards,

    Rob
