Make sure the board has an IP address. You can set it to static if you know what you're doing, but here we have set it to DHCP because it makes things easier.

If your mixer board does not have an IP address restart the mixer by holding the power button for 3 seconds and then pressing the button again, to power off. Then press the button once to turn on. Do this while the wireless router is on.

Choose HIQnet from the main menu of the mixer board.

Image Added

Launch VisiRemote on the iPad

After a few seconds, your board should show up on the left hand side of the App


The number in front of the "Si Performer 3" is the HIQnet address of that particular board.

Then you should have control.

Things to know:

HIQnet addresses cannot be the same...Ex: the board's HIQnet and the iOS HIQnet should be different.

ViSiRemote is for main mix and more of a total control

ViSiListen only allows access to monitor mixes

Under the access section of the mixer, this is the gatekeeper. So, even if someone has the password to the wireless and the Apps, they will not have control unless the HIQNet number of their controlling device (iPad, iPhone) is entered and has access to that individual mix or "All".

So, you could set up Mix1 to just the drummers iphone, and Mix2 to the bassist and Mix3 to the lead vocals, Mix4 to guitarist, and Mix5 to the bassist...with each iOS device having a separate HIQnet number they can only get to thier mix and not mess up anyone elses.
