Step 3.
Attach the telescope mount DB9 (F) data connector or data cable assembly to the
ScopeCOM DB9 (M) data connector. Do not attempt to use any mount data cable assembly
that connects to a mount Hand Controller HBX jack (TTL data) or AUX port since these ports
typically include mount DC power. For those telescope mounts that contain a DB9 (F)
connector on the mount base, you will need a standard DB9 (F) to DB9 (M) cable assembly.
The ScopeCOM module will power on when external power is applied. Apply power to the
ScopeCOM module.
Step 4.
Access the Apple or Android device WiFi settings menu. Select and connect to the
ScopeCOM
WiFi network. Note that access to the Internet is not included in this connection.
Enter WiFi WPA Encryption Key:
Entering the WiFi WPA encryption key should only have
to be entered when establishing an initial connection with a new Smartphone or tablet. The
WPA security key is
12345678
. Thereafter, your Smartphone or tablet will remember this
key.
Note:
Once a connection is established to the ScopeCOM generated WiFi network,
ScopeCOM assigns the portable device an IP address. This places the ScopeCOM module
and the portable device on the same IP network.

and the
Set Time and Location
options. Overwrite
the SkyFi name and enter the ScopeCOM module IP address of

. The ScopeCOM
IP port (4030) is also configured to match the Sky Safari default IP port value of
4030
.
