Appendix C: USB Key Actions
In this appendix, we'll explain how to use a USB thumb drive
to reset Origin's WiFi settings or reset all settings. You won't
usually need to perform these procedures, but they can be
helpful in some situations.
USB Drive Requirements
You will need a USB drive that supports one of these
file system formats:
• exFAT
• FAT32
• HFS+
• NTFS
• ext4
Resetting WiFi
When you perform this reset, the Direct Connect password
will revert to the default and all known networks will be cleared.
This could be useful if you have changed the Direct Connect
password and forgotten it. It can also get Origin back into
Direct Connect mode if it becomes stuck in Network Connect
mode. (This could happen if you connect Origin to your
router's network but then are unable to connect your device to
Origin through the network due to network security settings.)
1. On a USB thumb drive, create a file named
"OriginResetWifi.txt"
2. Turn off the Origin unit and insert the thumb drive.
3. Turn on the Origin unit. In a few moments, Origin will create
an access point. You can now use the app to connect
via Direct Connect with the default password. Once
reconnected, remove the thumb drive from Origin.
Reset All Settings
When you perform this reset, you clear all your customized
settings while retaining astrophotography data. For instance,
the dew heater's aggressiveness and the WiFi settings
will be reset. You may want to perform this reset during
troubleshooting.
1. On a USB thumb drive, create a file named
"OriginResetSettings.txt"
2. Turn off the Origin unit and insert the thumb drive.
3. Turn on the Origin unit. All settings will be reset.
