Hi Mario

Yes it is possible to connect more than 1 Editor session to a System. Make sure each device on the network has a unique IP Address and there should be no problem.

This has been previously covered in the thread below:

Mario, You can connect two PCs to the mixrack using the 2 network ports. Connect the surface using the ACE port.

Each PC must have it’s own IP such as 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.11.

You can also connect a WIFI wireless access point to one of the network ports on the mixrack and then connect over wireless. Turn on DHCP on the access point and you won’t have to set the IPs on the computers connected wirelessly.

Hope this helps,

Mark

Make sure though that if you use wireless with DHCP that you set the range to exclude the mixrack and surface (static) IP addresses - that caused me no end of drop outs and confusion when I started with the wireless network!
