I. Network Configuration
The iRFR requires that your console be on a wireless network. Below are a couple examples of how you may choose to configure your wireless network:
*NOTE: Your lighting network should never have a direct connection to the internet. It is also critical that the wireless component of your lighting network have the latest security protection in place, such as password protection, WEP, MAC address filtering, etc...

II. iPhone/iPod Configuration
Once your wireless network is setup, you must configure your iPhone/iPod to connect to it:
1. On your iPhone/iPod press the Settings icon:
2. At the Settings screen, select Wi-Fi
3. At the Wi-Fi Networks screen, find the wireless network your console is on and select it. Once connected, you will see a check mark to the left of the network name.
4. Now press the round blue arrow button to configure your network settings:
4. Now you must configure your iPhone/iPod's network settings so that it can connect to the console. The reccomended IP address is as follows for a standard static network configuration:
III. Testing Network Connectivity
Once your iPhone/iPod is configured to be on the same wireless network as your console, here's a quick test to make sure the iRFR and your console can talk:
1. Launch the iRFR app on your iPhone/iPod
2. At the Welcome screen, click Settings
3. Fill in the Host field with the IP address of your console: (see the tip below if you don't know how to locate your console's IP address)
4. Now, press the magnifying glass to test communication between your iPhone/iPod and the console. You will see either a green checkmark for YES or a red circle with a line through it for NO:
5. If the communication test FAILS, double-check that you have entered the correct IP address of your console in the Host field at the Settings screen. If the test still fails, exit the iPhone/iPod home screen and verify that you are still connected to your console's WiFi network.
Tip: With an Eos/Ion/Element console, you can find the IP address of your console in the Shell>Settings>Network:
And in Congo, you can find the IP address of your console in System Settings>Network or in About Congo (opened from the Browser):
