G'day Everyone
Just bought a Vixen SXW and I am having no end of trouble getting it connected to SkySafari on my iPad.
The set up is as follows:
Vixen SXW Mount ---> Starbook ---> Cat 5 Cable (ethernet port) ---> TP Link Nano Router
I have attempted to connect the router up to the StarBook under default settings, as well as various other settings by connecting and setting up through the web browser using admin login.
When I check the StarBook information it states that the IP address is 169.254.1.1, this is different to the router that has an IP of 192.168.0.1.
I have attempted to set the SkySafari up under both Vixen Starbook and Sphinx German EQ Mounts. But neither work. I have also put both IP of router and of StarBook into IP settings at different times in SkySafari also without luck.
So far I am able to connect to the TP Link Router from my iPad through the normal IOS settings area, when I attempt to connect through SkySafari I get the following message:
"SkySafari Plus can make a wireless network connection to the scope, but the scope is not responding. Make sure it is connected and powered on. Also check that your scope type is correct."
If it’s not the settings on the router, I am starting to think that it could be the Ethernet port on the StarBook is no good/broken and isn’t communicating.
Any assistance anyone could give on this would be greatly appreciated, it is driving me crazy!
Cheers
