Receiver Information

Important information regarding the instrument details, installed options and firmware can be found on the Status / Receiver
Information page on the Web interface.
Description
The receivers firmware is called RefWorx.
This important system software covers the basic functions of the instrument.
The onboard Web interface is integrated into the firmware and cannot be deleted. The
English language is integrated into the firmware and cannot be deleted.
The firmware can also be installed as a zipped file. The receiver will automatically unzip the
file before the installation.
For an automatic upload and installation of the firmware, the original file name as released
by Leica Geosystems must not be changed.
Various languages are available for the web server. Language software is also referred to as
system language.
English is the default language and cannot be deleted. Many different language files can be
loaded onto the SD card but only one language is chosen at a time as active language.
During a firmware upgrade the receiver reverts to English and all
language files are deleted. After the upgrade load the new
language version as needed.
Description
All software is stored in the System RAM of the instrument.
A new firmware file must be uploaded to the SD card before installation. The file can be
uploaded via:
•
the Web interface.
•
direct copy to the SD card using a computer.
•
direct FTP access to the SD card.
After uploading, the firmware must be transferred from the SD card to the System RAM via
the Web interface. For detailed step-by-step instructions, refer to Firmware upgrade step-by-
step.
Leica GNSS Spider can also be used to install the firmware. Loading the firmware to the SD
card and installing it on the instrument is done in one step when using GNSS Spider. Refer
to the Leica GNSS Spider Online Help for more information.
