AG AstroPC, User Manual, Page: 4 / 12

Everything you need to know to use
By default, the AstroPC WiFi module works in access point mode. To connect
to the AstroPC desktop from any device, the standard Microsoft Remote
Desktop client application is used. For Windows devices, the Microsoft
Remote Desktop client application is built into the operating system. For
Android and iOS devices, the Microsoft Remote Desktop client is free and
must be installed.
Source of power
The voltage range for powering the AstroPC is 12-24V. Any of the AstroPC's
power connectors can be used to supply power. Voltage that is connected to
any AstroPC power connector will appear on the other three power
connectors. All four power connectors are standard 5.5mm x 2.1mm and can
be used as I/O to power the AstroPC and other astronomical equipment at the
same time. The AstroPC comes with additional cables to connect power from
the free AstroPC power connectors to the astronomical equipment.
