X360 GIS Reference Receiver User Guide
B. OVERVIEW
This chapter introduces the X360 GIS Receiver (“the Receiver”). This
Receiver makes it easy to set up a powerful and reliable Continuously
Operating 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
Station Network (CRNet) software.
 As part of a permanent station with or without supporting software.
 A temporary field base station to broadcast RTK corrections and collect
observations for post processing.
B.I. RECEIVER FRAMEWORK
The Receiver integrates the multi-frequency GNSS technology into a
specialized processing and communications framework. The Receiver
can operate as a standalone 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 s 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 streaming
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".
