After adding an SLink expansion card to our SQ-6 and adding an SQ-5 to the setup (primarily as a monitor mixing board via Direct Outs from the SQ-6), we’re having trouble connecting to the SQ-6 with MixPad. We keep getting the error:
failed to connect socket sync timeout
We can reliably connect to the SQ-5 on the same network, so it doesn’t appear to be network-related… They both have valid IP addresses from DHCP on that network. It seems like it’s something within or related to the SQ-6, although we haven’t had this problem this consistently until making the infrastructure change. I’ve seen that error message before, but it was rare and I could always seem to retry and finally connect.
The strangest thing is that initially this morning, before church service started, one of us got connected to the SQ-6 in MixPad, and it stayed connected for well over an hour (maybe 2). I was unable to connect while he was connected. Then after he disconnected, neither one of us has been able to reconnect.
So far we’ve tried rebooting the SQ-6, putting both consoles on a dedicated network, and reseating the LAN network cable on the SQ-6.
Firmware versions:
SQ-6: 1.5.1 r3927
SQ-5: 1.5.1 r3927Any help or direction would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Which? Are you really sure that both consoles have valid IP adresses?
Better practice in this case would be to use fixed IP adresses for the consoles…

2021/09/21 at 4:06 pm #103579BradMParticipantGood point about dedicateded IPs. We might try that, but we don’t have a “network admin” and I haven’t gotten access to the network yet to see how it is configured to select the best IPs. Definitely will look into that, though.
We were able to connect to both consoles at one point, and they both continuously showed as available consoles to connect to from the MixPad drop-down menu.
2021/09/21 at 4:09 pm #103581BradMParticipantThanks for the tip! I did actually try that, too. It didn’t solve it for us in the moment, but rebooting the console SEEMED to fix it Sunday after services.
I just noticed we’re not in the latest firmware. I wonder if that might be related?
