Connecting to Micro VPS

Vozilla GCS app supports connectivity over Ethernet and MAVLink to the Micro VPS. You will need to edit your computer Ethernet network interface configuration in order to establish a connection to the Micro VPS.

By default we have the edge device configured to a static ip address of 192.168.218.100. If you change this default address, your network interface settings will need to match the subnet of the different ip address.

If using the default ip, follow the instructions below to configure your computer to communicate with the Micro VPS over Ethernet.

Here are the IP settings for the network interface:

  • IP address: 192.168.218.10

  • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  • Default gateway: 192.168.218.1

On your Windows computer:

  • Open Windows Settings (Windows key + I)

  • Click on "Network & Internet"

  • Click on "Ethernet"

  • Click on your network adapter

  • Under "IP assignment", click "Edit"

  • Select "Manual" and turn on IPv4

  • Enter the IP settings shown above

  • Click "Save"

When connected. Vozilla will display status information on the product service

Using another ip address for your edge device

If your system requires a specific ip address for the compute that differs from the default address of 192.168.218.100, you can still connect to it with Vozilla.

To edit the address, enter the settings and navigate to the device settings. Input your custom ip under device URL
