1. Preparation#

1.1. Prerequisites#

Required desktop software:

Required mobile software for DJI drones and remote controller:

Optional:

  • RJ45 Ethernet cable if the wired Auxiliary connection will be necessary.

1.1.1. Establish Auxiliary connection to SkyHub using Wi-Fi#

Important: It is strongly recommended to switch on a remote controller before any operations with the SkyHub Wi-Fi.

After powering on, the SkyHub operates as a Wi-Fi access point with the following credentials:

  • SSID: UgCS-SkyHub-****** (where ****** is the SkyHub serial number)

  • Passphrase: 12341234

Note

When connecting to SkyHub Wi-Fi for the first time, Windows will require authentication with a PIN. It is necessary to choose network security key authentication instead. Please switch to security key mode before entering the passphrase.
