Gabriel Investigate TCP/IP Stuff
- Tried connecting the T.C.S(telescope control system) to the D.C(data computer) - FAILED
- Tried connecting the said computers directly via ethernet cable -FAILED (D.C didn't recognize the connection - checked with ipconfig and windows control panel. T.C.S recognized connection but documented "no internet access")
- Tried connecting through local network, D.C recognizes T.C.S TCP/IP address, no connection through DFM TCP client, could be DFM client issue.
- Tried connecting the C.C to localhost via TCP/IP / SUCCESSFUL
Pointing Scope
- Opened SharpCap
- Opened TheSky6
- Connecting CMOS to DC:
- Originally connected LBD cable to CMOS, then to DC – Failed. Red LED lit on remote end
- Then disconnected everything
- Then connected LBD to DC, then to CMOS. – Success. Green LED lit on remote end
Other Notes
- Seems like we need to connect LDB to DC before CMOS for successful connection
