To Connect to the Switcher from DashBoard

Ultritouch runs a simplified version of DashBoard that is used to connect to the switcher.

Note: It is possible to connect to the switcher from a desktop version of DashBoard, but the interface was designed for Ultritouch and may not appear correctly on a desktop computer.

Refer to the Ultritouch documentation for information on navigating the Ultritouch menu and manually connecting to a device.

  1. On Ultritouch, navigate to the Connected Devices page.
  2. Tap Add > TCP/IP DashBoard Connect/openGear Device Connect.


  3. Enter the IP address of the master switcher control panel in the Device IP/Hostname field.
  4. Tap JSON.
  5. In the Port field, enter 5255.
  6. Tap Add Device.

    A new Acuity device will appear in the list. I may take a few moments to connect to the switcher.

  7. Tap the connected devices button to see a table of all the devices Ultritouch is connected to.
  8. Tap Acuity > Slot 0: Acuity and tap AUX to open that tab.

Ultritouch is now connected to the switcher.
