## 3. Testing Steps

### Step 1: Prepare a VIO unit with the Adapter Dovertail, Linear QR.&#x20;

### Step 2: Set up signal cables to connect VIO, Skynode, and Herelink System.&#x20;

● Connect the FFC power and Quick Release to HUB&#x20;

● Cable’s FFC from HUB connects to Skynode; Ethernet Cable connects to Skynode.&#x20;

● Ethernet Cable from Skynode connects to HereLink&#x20;

### Step 3: Set up power cables for VIO, Skynode, and Herelink System.&#x20;

● 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**&#x20;
* 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.

### Step 8: After Feature Testing

1. Click the icon until a notification message appears.

2. After clicking the icon multiple times, a notification for **Advanced mode** will appear.
3. Select **Switch to Advanced**
4. Once in **Advanced mode**, click the triangle icon one more time.
5. Then, select the **Advanced** menu option.

### Step 9: Adjust Settings in the Advanced Menu

In the **Advanced** menu, adjust the **MAVLink** settings as needed.

<table><thead><tr><th width="148">No.</th><th>Parameters</th><th>Settings</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>MAV_0_CONFIG</td><td>Disabled</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>MAV_1_CONFIG</td><td>TELEM 2</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>MAV_2_CONFIG</td><td>EXT2</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>MAV_2_FORWARD</td><td>Enabled</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>MAV_2_MODE</td><td>Gimbal</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>MAV_2_RATE</td><td>92160 B/s</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>MAV_S_FORWARD</td><td>Enabled</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>MAV_TYPE</td><td>Hexarotor</td></tr></tbody></table>
