#WiFi SkySafari Pro won't connect to GTOCP4 #WiFi
|
I'm trying to get SkySafari on iOS (and MacOS) to work with the builtin wifi on a AP1100GTO. I've got the network configured to connect to the GTOCP4 wifi, and verified the connection by visiting http://172.31.0.1 and seeing the configuration pages. Network setting look like:
 SkySafari settings look like:  But I get an error:  Is there something wrong with this configuration? Thanks, Tom

is that the correct port number? mine is set to 4030 but that is for a different mount.

I like using the IP address with my ethernet and yours do not seem to match. I'm not sure if this works the same way as with ethernet but I would try that first Best, Tom On Tue, Nov 2, 2021 at 3:29 PM Brian Valente <bvalente@...> wrote:

Not 100% sure about this but IIRC, the last byte (digit) of the mount's IP address when using the access-point mode should correspond to your CP's serial number, (if you have not changed the default value).
So the IP you should type in skysafari is 172.31.0.serial_number_of_the_CP
The 172.31.0.1 address is the access-point itself (not the mount). It is the network gateway you connect through to communicate with the mount (even if it resides inside the CP too, hardwarely-speaking).

Port #23 is correct for IP connections with a CP4 Is the error being thrown by SkySafari 6 Pro for iOS? Or for Mac OSX? Or for both?
I need to reconfigure things for Access Point mode, but I will check on my iMac and my iPhone. I am suspicious of the IP address in your Mac Settings window. The CP4’s IP address should end in .1 not .101

After trying it out, It seems your IP configuration is correct. Sorry for any confusion. That said, once you have joined the GTOCP4_NET_XXX, can you ping the address 172.31.0.1 from a command prompt ? If not, can you post a screenshot of what you get ? Sébastien |

Thanks for checking Howard. That .101 is the address the CP4 gave to my Mac/iPad, indeed the .1 is for the CP4 itself. At one time I had both the iPad and the Mac connected, and the first one got .100 and the next one got .101.
I read on some other thread that the mount needed to be initialized before it would work. Is that what might be happening here? |

Hi Tom,

No, the Mount doesn’t need to be initialized. I was out with my 1100 with CP4 last night. I hadn’t used it for a while and had the same problem as you, SkySafari wouldn’t connect with my iPad. The Wi-Fi connection showed the CP4, but every time I hit connect it said it wasn’t communicating with the Mount. It also said to check to make sure the local network tab was on. I never heard of that but went into “settings” and selected the app. Sure enough, there was a local network tab and it was off. Turned it on and it connected fine. The updated SkySafari will connect at several positions now. The local network thing must have crept in on the update. No need to initialize first. I run the 1100 solely with SkySafari. Hope this is your problem, too. Don Don Rudny Pepeekeo, HI 96783-0106 On Nov 3, 2021, at 7:59 AM, Tom Zepf <tjzcos@...> wrote:
