SMART2 Operation
Before operating the receiver for the first time, refer to SMART2 Overview on page 11 for
SMART2 installation instructions.
Refer to Communications with the Receiver below to begin configuring the SMART2 for oper-
ation.
3.1 Communications with the Receiver
Communication is established with the receiver using a data terminal or computer connected to
the receiver by a variety of methods:
Serial Port Communications below
l
CAN Bus Communications on the next page
l
Bluetooth® Communications on page 23 (SMART2-B and SMART2-TB hardware options only)
l
When connected to the receiver, enter commands directly from a terminal or through terminal
emulation software on a computer. For example:
NovAtel Connect - NovAtel Connect is a software application used to monitor and configure
l
NovAtel receivers. For information about installing and using NovAtel Connect, refer to the
help file included with the application.
NovAtel Connect version 2.0 or greater is required for SMART2. Download
the latest NovAtel Connect software and documentation from
www.novatel.com/novatel-connect.
Any console/command line application

To maximize the application of the receiver's capabilities, become familiar with the commands
and logs described in
3.1.1 Serial Port Communications
The receiver can communicate with a computer or terminal via a serial port. For communication
to occur, both the receiver and the operator interface have to be configured properly. The
receiver's default port settings are:
9600 bps
l
no parity
l
8 data bits
l
1 stop bit
l
no handshaking
l
echo off
l
break on
l
The data transfer rate determines how fast information is transmitted. Take for example a log
whose message byte count is 96. The default port settings allows 10 bits/byte (8 data bits + 1
stop bit + 1 framing bit). It therefore takes 960 bits per message. To get 10 messages per
second then requires 9600 bps. Also remember that even if you set the bps to 9600, the actual
