Heya there, i am a little lost... i have been using the ion (v.1.4.2.9.0.42) to connect to a XP PC running wysiwyg r22 and everything was going well.
Now i have been trying to connect the same console to a pc running vista and wyg. The IP settings on the pc are the same as on the old XP. The console also comes up when i look at available networks. I can ping the ion without any loss, but it won't give me any beams!? Is there anyone out there who can help with this?
I think that Wyg under Windows Vista only supports ETCNet2/EDMX, and not the other patch/selection sharing functions.
I suspect you'll need to talk to Cast or your Wysiwyg dealer. I know that Wyg has some issues under Windows Vista, but I don't know exactly what they are and how far Cast have got with sorting them out.
Vista does some very strange things with network and graphics cards - it's a pain trying to convince older software to work happily!
Keep on trying till you run out of cake.
Thanks Richard i thought that might be the case, when i run the client software on the vista machine it happily talks to the desk...
I would be still interested to see if other poeple out there experiencing the same and if anyone found a solution.
cheers

Make sure that "ETCNet2" is enabled in the Ion.
Other than that, give Cast or your Wyg dealer a call - they are best placed to help you solve the problem, as it's clearly to do with Wyg itself.
Thanks for replying once again Richard. Yes Wyg is the problem. I was contacting the support machinery there and got the following answer...
v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);} st1\:*{behavior:url(#default#ieooui) }
... not sure if that is good enough for a product costing a small fortune...
anyhow, have to go back to my old XP laptop now for pre programming...
cheers everyone for trying to help.
Ok, that's not a great response.
I think I've seen at least one version of Wyg running properly under Vista, so I'll have another dig through my notes and see if I can spot anything that might be useful.
Thanks Richard, that would indeed be great!
cheers mate
Hello, I am Gilberto Amaro. Recently acquired an ION, and I know how to connect it to wysiwyg R22. Is there a tutorial? I am using XP.
I've been going through my notes, and the only hint I can find is ETC Network Configuration Editor.
It looks like part of the NCE install is used by Wyg under some circumstances, particualrly under Windows Vista - most probably, it's using the NICPicker settings.
With regards to connecting Wyg to Ion - turn on ETCNet2 in both console and Wyg.
If you are starting up in Offline mode (usually on a PC) turn on the "Output while Offline" option in Ion.
As stated above, none of the bi-directional things will work, but you should be able to control the 'virtual' lights.
Thanks Richard.
I keep trying.
