are multiple IP addresses available from which to choose, refer to "Determine Your IP Address" on page 13. Other
applications and programs will behave similarly.
APCC-ST and APCC-PRO COM Setting
Versions 1.8.2.0 and 1.8.2.1 respectively or later
recommended for the GTOCP5; GTOCP4 can be v.

●
In the Connection group box, select from the top
drop down list:
TCP LAN/Wi-Fi (GTOCP4/5 Only) or
UDP LAN/Wi-Fi (GTOCP4/5 Only)
●
Click the small button to the right of your selection. This will open a list of
available mount connections. Get the IP address from this list. Be sure
to select the LAN IP address – not the Wi-Fi IP address - if that is your
preference.
ASCOM AP V2 COM Setting
Select "IP Addr" from COM Port Details. The IP address will display.
We suggest that you record these numbers for future reference.
Refer to Connection Details in the AP V2 Driver manual for more
information.
Determine Your IP Address
You will need the IP address in order to access the CP4/5 webpage in your browser. If you have
already used APCC or the AP V2 Driver, as described below, you may have recorded those numbers on page 3 of this
manual. If not, you can launch them again or use one of the methods described below.
First, power up the CP4/5, and connect the Ethernet (i.e. Cat 5e or later) cable to the CP4/5 on one end, and to your
computer, router, or network switch (port) on the other end.
IMPORTANT:
Allow at least 30 seconds for the connections to be fully established. Once the connection is made,
communications are nearly instantaneous.
We suggest that you read all of the options first to determine which one will be most appropriate for your situation.
Default IP Address Calculator
The easiest way is with the
IP Addess Calculator
that is on the flash drive that came with your mount or in the
section of our website. The Default IP Address is what the CP4/5 was shipped with, but since it can be changed from the
default to something else, we offer other options below for recovering the IP address.
ASCOM Ethernet Wi-Fi Poll Utility and FindMounts.jar
A handy ASCOM Ethernet Wi-Fi Poll utility as well as the FindMounts.jar Java applet have also
been provided on the flash drive that shipped with your mount and on our Support page. These
will assist finding the correct IP address for ASCOM users. They will even open up the CP4/5
web Interface in your system's default browser.
Use your software download user name and
password when asked.
These were provided in the welcome letter that you received with your
mount. If you can't remember your user name and password, contact Astro-Physics and be sure
to jot them down. The Java applet will also work from non-Windows computers. You must have
Java installed on your computer to use this applet:
