Sunlite Suite 2 Ethernet Control

Hello,

Not too long ago I bought the STICK hardware controller and have been using it to great effect.
Recently, I have tried to control it through the Ethernet add-on.
The ESA and ESA PRO programs have no trouble finding and connecting to it, but Sunlite Suite 2 does not seem to see it.

When I let it connect automatically (Auto Detection) it goes straight to demo mode. If I turn off Auto Detect and set the controller type to IP I can use any option (Hardware detection order, Hardware serial number, IP address) but the program still does not see it.

I addition, I get an error message that says:
"Warning hardware detection.
Interface setup in patch hardware but not detected !
*IP interface not detected"

I am using the newest version of SS2 and Firmware (Dec 13th) and Windows 7 64bit.

Thank you.

Hi

IP control is a FIRST CLASS feature of Sunlite Suite 2. To gain access to the FIRST CLASS features, you must have a STICK or first class interface connected to Sunlite Suite 2, this acts as a software "Dongle".

Because the STICK is now conencted over Ethernet and not USB, Suite 2 starts in ECONOMY CLASS mode.

Basically you are the first user to try this, we will make an update next week so that Suite 2 starts in FIRST CLASS mode if a STICK is detected on the network. I'll keep you posted.

Thank you for the quick reply!

For now I'll use USB, and when you guys do the update I'll let you know if it works.

Thanks again!
