To connect a PC to the controller wirelessly using the optional
SkyPortal WiFi Module, you will need a Celestron mount and the
WiFi module accessory (sold separately). Plug the WiFi module into
an AUX port on the mount. Connect another AUX port on the mount
to one of the AUX ports on the controller using the supplied AUX
cable. You can also use the included mount power cable to power
your mount from one of the power output ports (Figure 12). Once all
the cables are connected, turn on the mount.
NOTE: If your mount only has one AUX port, you'll need to purchase
the optional AUX Port Splitter. This converts the mount's single AUX
port into two AUX ports.

If you are using a Celestron mount with the SkyPortal WiFi Module, you can connect to the
controller via WiFi through the mount using the supplied AUX cable. You can also use the
included mount power cable to power your mount from the power output port.
