Ray,

Yes a typo. I did try 169.254.0.109.

So I am still at a loss as to why I could not upgrade the CP4
firmware. I am still at the original version that shipped with the unit.

Yours truly,

Jack

Hi Jack,

168.254.0.109

Maybe that's just a typo but I think the IP address should start with 169, not 168.

Subject: [ap-gto] CP4 Firmware Upgrade Failure

I found my Astro Physics username and password. I downloaded the
latest CP4 firmware package and unzipped the contents into a folder
on my desktop I printed out the installation instructions and I got as far as "Determine Your IP Address"

I tried three different CAT6 cables connected to the Ethernet port
on the CR4 and to my computer. Since my serial number is CP4-0109,
I calculated that the IP address would be: 168.254.0.109

I disconnected the keypad from the CR4 and I also disconnected the
Serial connection to the top DB9 connection (I connect to the mount
via a Serial to USB on to the computer.) I left the power cable,
the CAT6 cable and the Wye Motor cable

connected to the CP4.

Since I have APCC Standard (latest version), I tried starting it to
get/verify the IP address. When I selected TCP LAN/WiFi or UDP LAN/WiFI, I got an invalid V Chip error.



I closed APCC and tried using Edge, Mozilla and MX5 browsers to
access 168.254.0.109. In all cases the browser timed out.



So now I cannot get a browser to recognize the IP address of the CP4.

Now what?

Can I remove the VP4 from the mount, bring it into the house, power
it up and try connecting it to my computer with a short CAT6 cable to update the firmware?

Yours truly,

Jack Huerkamp
