Connecting FLX24 to laptop

[Rob McDonald]

Hi, I am having a problem connecting my laptop to my flx24. I have done it in past, but can't do it now. I have enabled devices on the console, checked the ip address etc. On my laptop I have set the static ip address to match the console's ip address and the mast has auto populated correctly. I have not put anything in the default gateway ? What have i done wrong or missed ?

Thanks

Rob

If this means exactly match then that might be the problem. The first 3 numbers of the laptop's address should match, the last should be between 0 (or is it 1) and 255 but different to any of the addresses used by the desk.

Note that the desk should have a number of addresses, at least one for the desk itself then, if you are using them, one each for ArtNet/sACN, CITP, remote apps, tracking backup and OSC,

As @Davidmk says, you cannot have two devices on the network with the same IP address. They must be unique, but on the same subnet in range. So, if the FLX S and laptop both had a subnet of 255.255.255.0, these would be valid IP addresses: 

FLX S Remote connection: 192.168.1.10

Laptop (running ZerOS Monitor for example): 192.168.1.20

Default gateway/router is not required for simple network configuration like this.
