S6 with M1 mini

[ubxf]

Hello,
Trying to upgrade PT with S6. Went from PT 2019.5 Catalina OS on a cheese grater working great with S6 and Xmon to M1 mini with PT 2022.5 working fine but can't connect with S6. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

With very little information you provided I would suggest the following…

1. Make sure you installed WS Control and it’s running
2. If your using two hardwired networks, make sure you’re choosing the correct network for the S6
3. If your S6 was setup with a static IP, you will most likely need to assign this IP address in your Mac Network settings.

Here’s a good resource

Thank you for your response. Yes the latest version of WS control is running.
The same ethernet cable (direct connection) that works with the old computer is moved to the mac mini and WS shows !
I think it was using DHCP with the old system. Does the S6 need an updated software or firmware?

You provided no version numbers so it’s hard to know if anything needs updating or flashing. Did you download the latest S6 software if you’re on a current S6 support plan?

No the issue is that the S6 support plan stopped in 2020

The old working system had 2019 Versions of PT and S6. The new set up has latest PT 2022.5 and Eucon 2022.4 but S6 is still with the 2019 configuration
