# Connecting To A Stagehand

Make sure you have configured on your [Computer IP](https://docs.creativeconners.com/docs/spikemark/ip-address-and-network-connection/setting-computer-ip-address) Address and [Stagehand IP](https://docs.creativeconners.com/docs/spikemark/ip-address-and-network-connection/setting-stagehand-ip-address) Address first

Then we’re ready to establish a connection to a Stagehand within Spikemark.

1. Make sure you are in the Jog Workspace and Live Show Mode

1. Select the motor you wish to connect to by clicking on it.
2. In the **Network** section of the **Stagehand Properties Panel** on the right side of the screen or at the bottom of the Jog Workspace, enter the IP Address of your Stagehand and click Connect.

In this step, make sure you copy the IP Address exactly as it appears on the face panel of the Stagehand OLED or LCD display.
{% endhint %}

3\. Click on Connect. You will see the Network status change to Connecting, to Connected

{% hint style="info" %}
If there’s a network error, check your IP settings on the computer and Stagehand and then check your cabling.
{% endhint %}

### Connect To All

1. Connect to All - Ctrl+Shift+T
