SD App SD SC2 Connection help

[andrew gissing]

Hi,

Taking the opportunity to take an SD11 with SC2 for a spin this weekend. Trying to get my ipad to connect to console no dice.

Console IP address is 192.168.2.61 - I haven't figured out how to change but that's ok, I can work with that.

I've changed my WAP to work with that range; and i've got my ipad set for manual IP address of 192.168.2.10

I've got inet tools on ipad; I can use it to ping both the WAP and the console; I get successful results.

When I load the SD SC2 app on my ipad, I get a screen asking for Connection name, Desk IP, Send Port and Receive Port. Two buttons next to this are connections and Off Line Demo.

In red I can see the words "wifi off"; next to it my ip address of 192.168.2.10; and network name.

Desk IP address is red 192.168.0.x - obviously not what I want.

On this screen there is a round apple time thing - just going round in circles next to Connection name. This went on for minutes - nonstop - it just does not stop while i've got the app open.

The ONLY control I can touch on this screen is OffLine Demo - all other controls do not respond to touch.

I figure what I need to do is set the correct desk IP, send port and receive port but if I can't touch them, I can't change it.

I suspect this is because of the red WIFI OFF. What does this mean ? If I go back to inet tools I can ping just fine so I am connected to the network with console on it.

ipad version 10.0.2 (14A456)
SD SC2 App version 2.0.0 (0.2)

Anyone ?


TIA,

Andrew

What version is on your SD11? The app you are using is for consoles which have Core 2 software.

IT's SC2 but, I don't think that matters at this stage. The ipad app will not accept any entry other than "OffLine Demo" - so I can't put the desk IP in, I can't set the ports; and there is the red wifi off thing.

If there was a problem with console on SC1 and app being SC2, I would expect that to have issues once IP and ports entered and I tried to connect.

I suspect this is an issue with SD App and iOS 10

I've also found someone else in Australia who has had the exact same issue once they upgraded their ipad to 10 as well; they were working fine on whatever their previous version was.

It's an issue with iPad 10. See this post from FB Digico Users page -

"Have a look at the screen guys... it says wifi off!!!

Often happens when ipad doesn't get a gateway.
At the iPads network settings enter ip, subnet, a madeup router ip, and a madeup dns in the same ip range...

That should fix it!"

Thank you Eytan - that solved the problem.
