- Verify that the devices are connected to the same network as the controlling computer.
Search for Devices:
- Use one of the following methods to detect devices:
- Default Search (Broadcast Mode):
- Select Default Search to broadcast a request across the current LAN.
- The connected devices will automatically return their IP information, indicating they are available for connection.
- Specific Search:
- Use Specific Search to detect devices based on a specific IP range or port number.
- Enter the relevant network segment (e.g., 192.168.x.x) to locate devices manually.
Select a Device:
- After the search, a list of detected devices will appear.
- Choose the device you wish to connect by selecting it from the results.
Save the Configuration:

Verify the Connection:
- Test the connection by performing basic control tasks, such as changing the input source or adjusting settings.
Notes:

- If using Specific Search, confirm the IP address and port settings match the target device.
- For troubleshooting, check network cables, switch connections, and device network settings.
