7. Wait about 60 seconds on that screen, and a new IP (like
169.254.xxx.xxx) will be assigned automatically.
8. If no IP appears, click “choose Static,” then enter:
IP Address 169.254.1.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.255
If address 169.254.1.2 is already in use by another device, replace
1 and 2 with numbers of your choice between 0 and 255.
If you are using AB1818VSL Remote in a venue with many wireless
networks, you can create a network on a different channel. Channel
11 is the default but it’s okay to use an alternative in order to ensure
that your iPad’s connection to your computer isn’t interrupted.
POWER USER TIP: Network connections can occasionally require troubleshooting, especially
when a lot of wireless networks are in use. Because of this, it is always a good idea to get your
iPad and computer communicating before the pressure is on and you have a singer trying to
dial in a monitor mix while you’re trying to mic the drum kit. So while the guitarist is flirting with
the bartender, take a quick moment to get your iPad, computer, and StudioLive talking.

your iPad, you are ready to launch AB1818VSL Remote.
Important: You must connect to your computer’s ad hoc network each time you
plan on remote-controlling Virtual StudioLive with AB1818VSL Remote.
