2 | CELESTRON ORIGIN
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Direct Connect Mode
Initially, you must connect to Origin’s internal WiFi network
using “Direct Connect” mode. The app should automatically
find Origin’s WiFi network and ask you to connect in a pop-
up window. The network will be named “Origin-XXX,” where
XXX is a combination of letters and digits. Once connected,
initialization will automatically begin.
NOTE: If you attempt to connect to Origin’s WiFi network
outside the app, the app will ask you for a network password.
The default password is “12345555” but you can change it
under Menu>Settings.
When operating Origin in Direct Connect mode, you must
remain within 30 feet of the unit. If there are no available
external WiFi networks at your observing site, you must
operate Origin in Direct Connect mode only. When using
Origin at home or where trusted local networks are available,
we recommend connecting through your network in “Network
Connect” mode. This will potentially provide you with a larger
operating range, allowing you to move more than 30 feet away
from Origin as you use it.
If desired, you can force Origin to always create a Direct
Connect network by enabling the Force Direct Connect
setting in Menu>Settings>WiFi Settings.
Network Connect Mode
You can follow the steps in the Quick Start Guide to set up
Network Connect mode. Alternatively, you can configure it
from Menu>Settings>WiFi Settings. To start, first connect
to Origin in Direct Connect mode. You should see the
network you want to connect to under “WIFI NETWORKS
VISIBLE TO SCOPE” near the bottom of the screen. Select
the network you would like to join, and a pop-up window
will appear, prompting you to enter the network’s password.
Once you enter the password, you should see the network
under “CONFIGURED WIFI NETWORKS.” Origin will then
restart (this takes about 30 seconds) and reconnect to the
app through this network.
The next time you connect to Origin, it will scan the environment
for any network you have configured previously. Origin will
begin to initialize immediately if it successfully connects to
a configured visible network. If Origin does not successfully
connect to any configured networks, it will create a Direct
Connect network.
