Log

Gabriel Investigate TCP/IP Stuff
  1. Tried connecting the T.C.S(telescope control system) to the D.C(data computer) - FAILED
    1. 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")
    2. 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.
  2. Tried connecting the C.C to localhost via TCP/IP / SUCCESSFUL


Pointing Scope
  1. Opened SharpCap
  2. Opened TheSky6
  3. Connecting CMOS to DC:
    1. Originally connected LBD cable to CMOS, then to DC – Failed. Red LED lit on remote end
    2. Then disconnected everything
    3. Then connected LBD to DC, then to CMOS. – Success. Green LED lit on remote end



Other Notes

  1. Seems like we need to connect LDB to DC before CMOS for successful connection
