Computer not connecting as a Client

I've followed the instruction on the manual of how to connect my Mac to a Ion xe20. They are on the same ip subnet and I can ping both ways each device but when I use client mode, my mac can't find the master console. This is now the 2nd time this has happened to me. Interestingly enough, if I look into setting and just open the augmented 3d tab, I can see the console as a yellow connection. Any thoughts or solutions to this problem?

    Any time I've seen this, it's because the Mac is not running 'SLPD', which is the background process for  'Service Location Protocol', the protocol Eos-es use to find each other. It should run automatically, but sometimes, like all things computer, it just doesn't.

    On the Mac, find Activity Monitor (usually in Applications > Utilities), open it and see if 'SLPD' shows up in the list of running processes.

    If yes  - it is there and running and this is probably not the issue. Though maybe force-quit and then re-run it.

    If not - open Terminal (also in Applications > Utilities), open it and type 'slpd' then return to run the service.

    Then quit Eos and re-run it and try again.
