User's Manual

Suppose you are using a Bluetooth-enabled GPS receiver with the device and a navigation
program on the Surveyor. In this example, assume you have set up a virtual COM port between
the Surveyor and the GPS receiver and that you assigned the outgoing COM port as COM 6. To
assign the COM port in your navigation program, you would then follow these steps:
1. Locate the place in the navigation program where the COM port is chosen.
2. Select COM Port 6 as the COM port for the Bluetooth GPS receiver.
Set up an incoming Bluetooth COM port
Use this option if you want to assign the virtual COM port as an Incoming COM port (i.e., you
want another device to initiate communications with the Surveyor). If you are connected with a
Bluetooth device that supports serial communications, follow these steps to set up the incoming
Bluetooth COM port:
1. Press the COM Ports tab.
2. Tap on New Incoming Port.
3. Select a numbered COM port from the list.
Note: If the port cannot be created, it is in use. Select a different numbered port.
4. Important: Deselect (clear) the Secure Connection checkbox. Deselecting this option
ensures that the device disconnects its Bluetooth connection only when you tell it to.
Wi-Fi for Surveyor Plus
When the Surveyor is connected through Wi-Fi, the icon appears in the tool bar.
Connecting to Wi-Fi Network
Many times when entering an access point a bubble will pop up on your screen asking if the
network connects to the network or a private or corporate network. Choose the correct network
and tap Connect. The choice will be stored in the Connection Manager for future use.
To actively look for a network connection complete the following steps:
1. Activate Wi-Fi by going to Start > Settings > Connections tab > Wireless Manager.
