Previously some users have encountered an issue where they have a mobile device connected to iSTAR Pulsar via Wi-Fi (mode switch to the Right), yet the iSTAR Pulsar Mobile App doesn't connect with the device.
The mobile app may simply not connect with iSTAR Pulsar at all, or may connect upon launching the app before dropping the connection again - either way, the status icons in the top right corner of the app will be "grayed-out" and inactive, and the user will see a message "No connection found" within the app's main window:
Here's how to address this:
- Uninstall the mobile app from the mobile device
- Instruct the mobile device to "Forget" the network "pulsar-XXXXX.OSC"
- Reboot the mobile device
- Reinstall the mobile app from the store
- Power up iSTAR Pulsar with the mode switch to the Right, await "Ready" status (2 solid green LEDs)
- Connect the mobile device to iSTAR Pulsar from scratch - await confirmation that connection has been established

Below are two examples of this occurring:
