There's a workaround called VirtualHere USB, you can use a Raspberry Pi to make one.

Basically, you install VirtualHere USB server on the Pi, connect Pi to your Kemper via a short USB cable, and of course, connect the Pi to the WIFI. Then install VirtualHere USB client on your PC/Mac, then it's done.

Hi guys, some help pls.

Since I can barely read the remote's small screen during live, I'd like to add my spare iPad mini to my pedal board as a display (mount to the nearby microphone holder).

I know there's a wireless solution that works fine, but I'm a little worried that wireless during the live performance does not so staple. I did some research, seems like a wired router should do the trick.

Profiler -----> Router <-------- POE Injector <----- Remote

(DHCP Server Enabled)

iPad Mini 4

The problem is, the routers I've found (Ubiquiti ER-X, Mikrotik hEX Lite) are relatively big and require an additional power adapter, they couldn't fit in my board. I would like to replace the router with an ethernet switch, I've found a 3 port switch is much smaller and can be powered by USB.

I don't know if this could work, since Rig Manager(iOS) seems to use TCP protocol to communicate with the Kemper, they should need a DHCP Server(The router) to assign proper IP addresses, and a Layer 2 switch just can't do that.

But I've read in the manual that you can connect multiple Remotes to one profiler via a switch or hub, how did this work? did they have some IP address negotiation mechanism?

Any thoughts could be helpful, thanks guys~

The thing is, even if you use an incompatible PoE injector, it should work in the above setup. However, it will damage the Remote in a way that it won't power up anymore when you connect it directly to your PROFILER - without PoE.

So, we still don't understand the issue of chipdog

I never connected a mode B POE injector to my remote, but I doubt it will power up, since mode A and mode B use totally different pins to deliver power.

The manual specifically notes that only Mode A POE injector can be used, only TP-LINK TL-POE 150S and Cudy POE200 are tested OK (the latter is tested by fans).

Quotes from the manual:

Enhanced List of Tested PoE Equipment

The PROFILER and PROFILER Remote communicate with each other via an ethernet cable. The cable included in

the PROFILER Remote package with its Neutrik® etherCON® cable connector carrier has been carefully selected

and is perfectly suited for this purpose.

Ethernet cables in excess of 10m (30ft) might require a Power over Ethernet Injector (PoE Injector). A PoE switch

will even let you connect multiple Remotes to one PROFILER. Supported are IEEE standard 802.3af-2003 as well as

802.3at-2009 mode A.

✓ Be aware that only mode A can be used; mode B is not functional!

We have extended the list of tested PoE injectors and switches. The included devices were either tested by our

engineering department, or reported as functional by users. We are also adding a blacklist of devices which are not

compatible and must therefore not be used.

Here is a list of equipment we have tested successfully:

PoE injectors:

• TP-LINK® TL-POE 150S

•

PoE switches:

• TP-LINK® TL-SG1008P (8 port gigabit switch with 4 port PoE)

• Allnet® ALL8085 Switch (8 Port 10/100TX)

• Intellinet 8-Port Fast Ethernet POE+ Switch (available with 19’’ rackmount)

The following PoE devices were reported as functional by users:

• TP-LINK® TL-SG1005P (5 port gigabit switch with 4 port PoE+)

• Trendnet TPE-TG44G POE+ switch

• Cudy POE200 30W Gigabit PoE+

The following PoE injectors are not compatible and must not be used:

• Swissonic 466331

• Ubiquiti Networks U-POE-af

• Ubiquiti Networks POE-48-24W-G
