Your first session

Connect on either serial or USB port. The Ethernet and WiFi connections are not available in this

release.

For previous APCC users upgrading from GTOCP3 to GTOCP4

1. If possible, before disconnecting the GTOCP3, use APCC to park the mount at an AP defined

position – Park 1, 2, 3 or 4. (Don't use a custom Alt/Az or current location.)

2. TEMPORARILY set

the "Unpark From" in

the park tab to that

same park position.

3. Open the Advanced

Settings Window from

the main window in the

Setup Tab: Setup tab

=> Advanced Settings

=> Auto Initialize:

UNcheck the Auto-Initialize option.

4. Remove the GTOCP3 and install the GTOCP4 in

its place.

5. If you were unable to park the mount earlier, move

it manually into a reference park position,

preferably Park 4 so that you can use a bubble

level for greater accuracy.

6. Power on the mount.

7. Connect to the mount in APCC. You should NOT

see an initialization window unless you failed to

follow step 3 above. If the Initialize window

opens, click the button bottom left to stop the

process! We will open this window in the next

step, but we want time to confirm the settings!

8. Open the Initialize Mount window by clicking

Settings (on the menu bar)=> Initialize Mount.

9. Verify all of the settings including the "Unpark

from" and the Site and Time Zone settings. Fix if

necessary.

10. Change the Set PEM setting to Disable PEM, but

leave it checked.

11. When satisfied that all is well, click the Initialize

button at the bottom.

12. REMEMBER to change the "Unpark from" settings

back to "Last Parked" first in the Park tab, then

confirm that it changed in the Initialize window.

Do NOT initialize a second time!
