Net3 Wired Focus Remote

Overview

The Net3 Wired Focus Remote (WFR) provides an advanced,
wired solution for remote control. Compatible with ETC Congo
Family, and Eos
access to frequently used console features such as dimmer and
channel checks, as well as update and record functions.

The WFR can connect to a console either via USB or Ethernet for
bi-directional communication. During operation, the system status
can be viewed on the LCD of the remote. Once a command is
completed, the remote displays status information on the LCD.

For connecting via Ethernet, the maximum length of network
cable that can be used is 100m from the WFR to the switch. This
maximum distance includes any wiring in the wall, if a wall outlet
is used.

The WFR can be powered either by Power over Ethernet (PoE) or via USB if PoE is not available.

Connecting to a Console

When booting up for the first time, you will need to select a console. For a
list of all available consoles, hold down the [.] key while booting up the
WFR. The list will populate with all available consoles, use the side
encoders to select a console, and press [Enter] to connect to it.

Another option is to connect directly to a console via the USB. To do this,
select {Direct USB} at the top of this display. The remote will prompt you to reboot. After rebooting, the
WFR will start up in Direct USB mode.

When a WFR is connected to a console, and you wish to connect to a different console or disconnect
the current connection, press and hold both of the side encoders for a few seconds. This will bring up
a selection screen with the following options:

• Reconnect - restart the same connection.

• Select Console - disconnect and bring up the console selection list.

• Sleep - disconnect and put the device to sleep.
