What is Flex Remote?

Flex Remote is an app which enables you to operate the FSR Flex Control System remotely over a wireless
network. A user on the remote screen has the same experience as if they were using the actual Flex touch
screen. In addition, anything that happens directly on the Flex touch screen is shown on the remote app at
the same time.

*** Note: This application will only work with the Flex models LT150, LT200 and LT300.

Before You Begin

Before you can begin using Flex Remote for the iPad® or iPhone®, there are a couple of things that you need to do:

1. You will need to know the IP address of the Flex control panel. The default IP address is‘192.168.5.70’. Write
down the address or addresses for each panel that you want to control.

2. Be sure that your wireless network is in the same IP address domain as the Flex units that you want to
control.

These steps are necessary in order for your iPad® or iPhone® to be able to communicate with a Flex unit.
