Rover network profile with internet from field controller
This profile is an RTK profile where we will using internet from field controller. The rover will be connected to a CORS network using NTRIP protocol.
This profile requires the controller to be connected in internet.
Since Zenith16/40 is multi-constellation it is recommended to work with a mountpoint providing corrections for all constellations.
Enter the Profile information:
Mode: select the working mode. This is a rover profile.
Brand: select GeoMax.
Model: select GNSS Zenith16/40.
Click Next.
The Device page allows to search and connect the receiver using Bluetooth.
Click Add device to search the Zenith16/40. The BT address for the Zenith16/40 is its serial number.
Click Next.
In the RTK page we have to select the working mode:
None: the receiver is configured to not receive RTK corrections.
Internal radio: the receiver is configured to receive RTK corrections using the internal radio.
Internal GPRS (receiver): the receiver is configured to receive RTK corrections using internet from internal modem. (Requires a SIM card inside the receiver).
External radio: the receiver is configured to receive RTK corrections using an external radio.
External GPRS (controller): the receiver is configured to receive RTK corrections using internet from the field controller.
PPP (precise point positioning): activates this option is receiver is configured to receive Terrastar PPP corrections.
For this profile we select External GPRS (receiver) and press Next.
