3. Testing Steps

Step 1: Prepare a VIO unit with the Adapter Dovertail, Linear QR.

Step 2: Set up signal cables to connect VIO, Skynode, and Herelink System.

● Connect the FFC power and Quick Release to HUB

● Cable’s FFC from HUB connects to Skynode; Ethernet Cable connects to Skynode.

● Ethernet Cable from Skynode connects to HereLink

Step 3: Set up power cables for VIO, Skynode, and Herelink System.

● Connect the power cable to Herelink System, Skynode, and Gremsy Hub.

Step 4: After setting up the cables, configure the IP address.

• Connect a USB type-C cable to VIO and a computer or laptop.

• Access the settings page at http://192.168.144.25:8000/ to configure IP:

  • VIO Address: 192.168.144.24

  • Netmask: 255.255.255.0

  • Gateway: 192.168.144.1

• Click "Apply" after IP setup and confirm with "OK."

Step 5: After configuring VIO’s IP, start the Remote to connect to VIO.

• Launch AuterionMissionControl.

• Launch Payloads Assistant.

• Note: Both applications should be running.

Step 6: In the Payloads Assistant software, verify connection:

• Go to Settings

• Select Custom settings.

• After selecting Custom, proceed to Settings Extended.

• In Settings Extended, check that IP and PORT match the IP set in Step 4.

Step 7: Using Auterion Mission Control

• Verify the VIO Product Name.

• Check video feed functionality:

  • Once the image appears, test various features connected to the Remote, such as Zoom In and Zoom Out.

  • These functions should display as VIO connects with Skynode and can be controlled via the Remote.
