  1. Camflite Aurora Intro

Network and Connectivity

This section describes the connection process for Aurora s built-in wifi chip. This functionality is helpful while the aircraft is on the ground for admin and setup tasks. Connecting the Aurora to wifi is required to complete the initial Auterion Suite setup process.

Connect the Aurora aircraft to a wifi network.

  • Open AMC Herelink or PC. If using a PC, connect to Aurora with a USB-C cable.

  • Power Aurora.

  • Tap the icon in the top-left of AMC. Navigate to Vehicle Setup > WiFi

  • Select Station mode, which allows Aurora to connect to another wifi network.

  • Enter the login credentials for your wifi access point.

Unlike the Herelink wifi, which is restricted to the 5GHz band, the Aurora wifi chip is compatible with 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands.

Connect to the Aurora hotspot via wifi.

  • Open AMC Herelink or PC. If using a PC, connect to Aurora with a USB-C cable

  • Power Aurora.

  • Tap the icon in the top-left of AMC. Navigate to Vehicle Setup > WiFi.

  • Select Access Point mode, which allows Aurora to broadcast a wifi network that other devices can connect to.

LTE

The Aurora has an LTE sim card installed, and you can utilize online features such as live video, real-time aircraft status, and flight logs through Auterion Suite.

Aurora is only available with an LTE radio suitable for North American markets.

LTE Card Installation

The Aurora comes with a pre-installed LTE card. To replace it, follow these steps:

Step 1

To remove the bezel, start by unscrewing the two self-tapping screws positioned around it.

Step 2

Once the screws are removed, you will gain access to the SIM card. Simply press the card to eject it.

Step 4

Replace the bezel and screw in the 4 screws, making sure not to overtighten them..

Configure and Enable / Disable

  • Install a SIM card into Aurora. Make sure to write down the SIM card number found on the card if you don't have it recorded elsewhere.

  • Open AMC Herelink or PC

  • Navigate to Vehicle Setup > Cellular.

  • If you need to access the IMEI number for the vehicle to enable the SIM cards, connect to the Aurora with a laptop and USB cable

    1. Power on Aurora with one battery only.

    2. Connect the laptop and the Aurora by plugging in a USB-C cable to the IO panel on the underside of the aircraft.

    3. On the bottom of the page, expand the "details" bar and scroll until you find the listed IMEI information.
