## USB-C Configuration for Gremsy Payloads (PC Connection)

Gremsy payloads support **USB Ethernet connection** for direct access and configuration. To establish communication between the payload and your PC, you must manually configure the **IPv4 settings** on your PC to match the payload’s subnet.

This guide outlines the USB-C connection and IP configuration steps for the following payloads:

* VIO
* ZIO
* G-Hadron (Mainboard)

> **Note:** Ensure the chosen IP address on your PC does **not conflict** with the payload's IP or any other devices on the network.

***

### 1. VIO Payload Configuration

* **Payload IP Address:** `192.168.55.1`
* **Connection Port:** USB-C located on the **bottom of the camera**

#### Steps:

1. Connect the USB-C cable from the **bottom of the VIO camera** to your PC.
2. On your PC, go to:\
   **Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings**
3. Right-click the **new Ethernet device** (USB Ethernet), choose **Properties**.
4. Select **Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)** and click **Properties**.
5. Set the static IP address of your PC to something in the same subnet, e.g.:
   * **IP address:** `192.168.55.10`
   * **Subnet mask:** `255.255.255.0`
   * Leave **Default gateway** blank
6. Click **OK** to apply changes.

### 2. ZIO Payload Configuration

* **Payload IP Address:** `192.168.12.240`
* **Connection Port:** USB-C located on the **side of the camera**

#### Steps:

1. Connect the USB-C cable from the **side of the ZIO camera** to your PC.
2. Configure the PC’s IP to an address in the `192.168.12.x` range, e.g.:
   * **IP address:** `192.168.12.10`
   * **Subnet mask:** `255.255.255.0`
   * Leave **Default gateway** blank

***

### 3. G-Hadron Mainboard Configuration

* **Payload IP Address:** `192.168.144.25`&#x20;
* **Payload IP Address:** `192.168.144.240` **From software V3 or Higher**
* **Connection Port:** USB-C (marked as **HOST**) on the **mainboard**

#### Steps:

1. Connect the USB-C cable from the **HOST port** of the G-Hadron mainboard to your PC.
2. Configure the PC’s IP to an address in the `192.168.144.x` range, e.g.:
   * **IP address:** `192.168.144.10`
   * **Subnet mask:** `255.255.255.0`
   * Leave **Default gateway** blank

### 4. Connect to Gremsy Payload Assistance Desktop

**Step 1: Launch the Application**

* Open the **Payload Assistance Desktop** application on your PC.

**Step 2: Verify Application Status**

* Upon launch, the interface will display a **"Disconnect"** status if the connection has not been initialized.

**Step 3: Configure RTSP and Control Settings**

1. Click on the **`SETTING`** button in the main interface.
2. In the settings panel, locate the **RTSP URL** section.

**Example RTSP URL Format:**

```
rtsp://<IP>:8554/<mountpoint>
```

**Example:**

```
rtsp://192.168.55.1:8554/payload
```

* **8554** is the default **video stream port**.
* **`/payload`** is the **mount point** and can be verified in the **Web Setting** interface of the payload.
* The **IP address** depends on the payload being used.

> **Note:** The RTSP URL format is universal; only the **IP address** and **mount point** need to be adjusted to match the connected payload.
