Congure RTK Network
A—Operating Mode Drop-Down Menu
B—Network ID Entry Box
C—Radio Frequency Entry Box
D—Power Drop-Down Menu
E—Repeater in Network Checkbox
F—Enter Button
3. Select Operating Mode from drop-down menu (A).
● Vehicle – Use this mode for machine to receive
signal corrections from base station or repeater.
● Quick Survey Base – Use this mode to test
functionality without performing a 24-hour
Absolute Base survey–for example, when
temporary eld work does not need long-term
repeatability or eld areas are small. The tripod
can be set up for localized coverage and moved
after completing the operation. This mode allows
rapid deployment of an RTK solution and
transmits corrections quickly. Usage of Quick
Survey mode is only permitted at dedicated
location as stated by license agreement.
● Absolute Base – Use this mode when
repeatability is a concern. For example, when a
secure RTK network and seasonal RTK coverage
are required. Receiver must be mounted to a xed
position, like a building or post mounted in
concrete. This mode requires a 24-hour self-
survey conducted on location before rst use. This
survey averages short-term anomalies. After
survey is completed, base station starts
transmitting corrections. Since an Absolute Base
Station does not experience GPS drift, guidance
lines are repeatable and do not need to be shifted.
● OFF – Use this mode to disable all RTK
functionality in receiver. RTK Operating Mode
must be OFF for normal SF1 or SF2 operation on
SF2 licensed receiver.
NOTE: Base station and machine must be set up with
same Frequency and Network ID (B).
4. Enter Network ID.
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of end user to
ensure that radio frequency and power settings
are consistent with local regulations and
licensing.
5. Enter Radio Frequency (C).
6. For base station operating modes:
● Select Power from drop-down (D).
● If there is a repeater in network, select checkbox
(E).
7. Select Enter button (F).
