Windows Defender Setup. #
1) Open port 28001 in Windows Defender.
Ensure port 28001 is unblocked in windows defender so SPAD.neXt may communicate with your Class Echo device. Please see this tutorial video if you need assistance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXTHvd1ABwU
2) Allow the SPAD.neXt application to communicate over the network:
Connect & Enter API Key #
Press the “Connect” button on Class Echo Mobile.
The Class Echo Mobile will request a four digit API key from SPAD.neXt. This should pop up automatically in SPAD.
Don’t see the API key? It is possible something is blocking the connection between SPAD and your mobile device. Please see the troubleshooting guide HERE.

Check the “Panels” tab of SPAD.neXt (third tab from the top). You should see “Class Echo Mobile” listed as a device.
