ETCpad Connect to Element2

Having problems connecting our new ETCpad; Connected the console to our WiFi router, found IP address and allowed Remote Access from the board. In the tablet under settings connected to the network but opening aRFR gives a "remote disconnected message". I can't see where to enable RFR in the console (books say [Desk Setting|] we don't have) and can't see if/where to put consoles IP address and/or name into the tablet. 

At the moment we are having to use our theatres "Admin" Wifi so I'm using a RJ45 to WiFi adapter plugged into the Console but to all intents and purposes once that is set up to talk to the WiFi (SSID Password etc) then it should be like a straight (CAT5) connect from the board's point of view, right?

    Hello, 
    We recommend using a closed wifi network for this purpose- so a router or access point connected to the light console or lighting network directly rather than a wifi connection from your console to a larger wireless network.  There may be too much going on in the other network to allow the communication.  Additionally, the Element 2 is not equipped with virus protection and exposing it to the larger network could be putting it at risk.


    Thank you,

    OK - I understand YOUR concerns but that doesn't tell  US how to connect. Instructions I have read refer to EOS but oft times the Element 2 is somewhat different. e.g. the "Go to settings/desk . . . " How/where do we find explicit instructions for connecting the ETCpad to the Element 2. Without that, there is not a lot of point buying it.

    element 2 is a bit different in faders, it can only have one cuelist and some buttons are not there and have been replaced with a softkey. there is no difference in connecting an ETCpad to an element. that's why you won't find a separate instructions document.

    the book says [Desk Settings] because until a month ago it used to be called that. they're called [Device Settings] now.

    you will need to check Setup>System>Remotes, Setup>Device>Config (optional. makes life easier, but it makes it easier for other people to connect to your console as well) and in the Shell go to Settings>Network and allow WiFi Remote
