7. Start the RTDS server and let the software run throughout
your field survey, or permanently if you wish to set up a
community base station.
8. Set the base in Direct IP mode so that it sends its
corrections to the RTDS software. When defining the
Direct IP connection, you need to enter:
• The static IP address of the computer running the
RTDS software.
• The port number assigned to the base connection in
the RTDS software (as entered in RTDS Software’s
RTDS Config>Port Config>Base Port field).
The RTDS operator will see the base-to-server arrow blink
when corrections are received from the base. The IP
address of the base will appear under the base icon. The
incoming data throughput will be indicated just
underneath the blinking arrow.
9. Set the rover in Direct IP mode in order to receive
corrections from the RTDS software.
• The static IP address of the computer running the
RTDS software.
• The port number assigned to the rover connection in
the RTDS software (as entered in RTDS Software’s
RTDS Config>Port Config>Rover Port field).
On the rover side, wait until the data link icon appears on
the front panel. When this happens, corrections are
received and at least a float solution is available.
The RTDS operator will see the server-to-rover arrow start
blinking when at least one rover queries the server for
corrections. The outgoing data throughput is also
indicated just underneath the blinking arrow.
