2. OVERVIEW
ThischapterintroducestheN72GNSSreferencereceiver(“thereceiver”).
ThisreceivermakesiteasytosetupapowerfulandreliableContinuously
OperatingReferenceStation(CORS)ortocollectdatafromtemporaryfield
locations.
Thereceiverisidealforthefollowinginfrastructureapplications:
 AspartofaGNSSInfrastructure
networkinconjunctionwithCHC
ReferenceStationNetwork(CRNet)software.
 Aspartofapermanentreferencestationwithorwithoutsupporting
software.
 AtemporaryfieldbasestationtobroadcastRTKcorrectionsandcollect
observationsforpostprocessing.
2.1. RECEIVERFRAMEWORK 
Thereceiverintegratesthemulti‐frequencyGNSStechnologyintoa
specializedprocessingandcommunicationsframework.Thereceivercan
operateasastandalonereferencestationoritcanbeintegratedintoa
scalablenetwork.
WithanInternetProtocol(IP)astheprimarycommunicationsmethod,you
canusepublicdomaintools,suchas
awebbrowserandFTPclient,to
configurethereceiverand accessloggeddatafiles.
NOTE‐AllreferencestotheInternetrefertoeitheraWideArea
Network(WAN)oraLocalAreaNetwork(LAN)connection.
Thereceiveradoptsasecuredsystemthatrequiresapasswordprotected
loginforconfigurationchangesand/orfileaccess.
Usethenetworkmanagementfeaturestocreateabase/roverconfiguration
withavarietyofoperatingmodes.Youcanthenenablethosemodesas
necessary
insteadofswitchingtheglobalstateofthereceiverfromone
modetoanother.Forexample,youcanconfigureanumberofstr eaming
serviceswithdifferentconfigurations(suchasanycombinationofdata
stream,sampleinterval)ondifferentTCPorUDPports.Toactivateoneor
moremodes,openthe
connectiontothespecificport.Thisallowsmultiple
clientstoaccessanygivenstreamingservice.
Thesefeaturesandmanymore,shiftthemodelofaGNSSreceivertoward
theconceptofa"networkappliance".
