Manual Device Connection

In case the automatic search is failed, you may use the same device manager and add watch manually. To make manual connection you need to know your device IP address. Go to Settings → Connections → Wi-Fi → Wi-Fi networks→ [Network name] → IP-address.

In Tizen Studio go to the device manager and click "+" button. Enter the name and the IP-address of the device, leave default port number (26101).
