indi_skywatcherAltAzMount wireless handshake failed

I try to make a wireless connection between a Raspberry PI and a Skywatcher Virtuoso mount through a WiFi dongle on the mount.
I connect the RP to the dongle WiFi, it gets an IP address 192.168.4.3 as expected.
I'm using indi_skywatcherAltAzMount and set it up as:
- Connection mode: Ethernet
- Server address: 192.168.4.1
- Server Port: 11880
- Connection type: UDP
When I click Connect, I got this in the log:

INFO 907.548098 sec : Connecting to 192.168.4.1@11880 ...
DEBUG 907.548444 sec : Connection successful, attempting handshake...
DEBUG 927.592244 sec : Handshake failed.

I've traced the WiFi communication with Wireshark, and see 3 packets:
- 1. RP -> mount, 1 byte len: ":", no answer
- 2. RP -> mount, 4 byte len: ":e1^D"
- 3. mount -> RP, 8 byte len: "=0210A1^D"

This communication seems to be pretty normal to me, similar happens when the Synscan app communicates with the mount. Still the driver says after a relative long timeout: Handshake failed.
Any idea?
Thanks.
