In case the telemetry port of flight controller is unoccupied, we highly recommend to use this method to ensure stable and reliable telemetry signal.

Method 2: Connect only to XBLink

XBLink will read telemetry data, then stream it through ethernet to Siyi Air Unit and 4G at the same time.

Connect Siyi Air Unit

We support 2 methods to connect it to XBLink as below

Method 1: Connect directly to ETH0 port's XBLink.

In case you are using USB port of XBLink for IP Cameras or USB Cameras, we recommend you connect Siyi Air Unit as below.

Method 2: Connect via Dual FPV Camera Hub

In case you have Dual FPV Camera Hub of Siyi, you can connect it XBLink following instruction

Note: ETH port is ETH0 of XBLink Plus
