How to Set Up Your Wireless Network for iRFR or aRFR with Eos Family
Consoles
For a setup guide for iRFR or aRFR -BTS and -LR
as a PDF, please see aRFR/iRFR Setup Guide.
Network Configuration
iRFR and aRFR (referred in this document as WiFi Remotes) require that your lighting console be on a wireless
network. As wireless networking hardware changes frequently, we do not recommend a particular model of router or
access point. Instead, we offer these guidelines for configuration.
This guide assumes that the network is on an isolated network specifically for lighting data. ETC does not recommend
shared network environments – contact ETC Technical Services if you have questions.
Choose Your Wireless Equipment
Wireless routers are by far the most common WiFi networking device. These devices typically have an Internet or WAN
(wide area network) port on them as well as some local network ports. Their function is to operate a local network, wired
and wireless, and route data as needed between that network and the bigger network connected to the WAN port.
Wireless access points are also acceptable. These act as a translator between the wired and wireless, with very little
filtering or processing. Devices that connect to the access point are essentially on the same network as the wired
devices.
Topology
The recommended setup varies based on your system.
• If you have an existing lighting network, use one of the Existing Network examples.
• If you have a single console with dual network ports and wish to use the second network port for the wireless
network, refer to the Single Console with Dual Network Ports example.
• If you have a single console and no network, refer to the Single Console example.
