Introduction Getting Acquainted Literature 1.1.6. Literature HPT402 literature, including manuals and other product information are available on the JAVAD GNSS website (http://www.javad.com): • HPT402 Operator’s Manual • Functional specifications 1.1.7. External Antenna (not included) Antenna type depends on the site requirements, and may be directional or omni-directional.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. A single external power supply is necessary to operate HPT402. The external power supply needs to be Listed for US and Certified for EU countries, it needs also to be a Limited Power Source and rated for Outdoor Use and have an output rated for +9 to +16 V, 2A.
• Programming the radio modem’s settings. • Loading the new modem firmware. See the ModemVU Software Manual available on the JAVAD GNSS website for details on configuring the modem with an internal UHF modem and/or GSM radio modem, or an external UHF modem.
1. Navigate to the location of the ModemVU program and double-click the Setup.exe icon. 2. Follow the on-screen installation instructions. 2.4. Connecting HPT402 and Computer To configure, or maintain HPT402, you need to connect the modem and a computer using an Accessory Data-Ser-Pwr Cable, DB9/DB15/SAE (1,8m), p/n14-578108-02. Figure 2-2. Accessory Data-Ser-Pwr Cables DB9/DB15/SAE Once you have established a connection between the modem and the computer, you will be able •...

Software Switching to Command Mode 3.1. Command Line Interface Convention The following convention is implemented in HPT402 Command Line Interface (CLI): • The Carriage Return/Line Feed (CR/LF, 0x0D/0x0A) is a command delimiter. • The Carriage Return/Line Feed (CR/LF, 0x0D/0x0A) is a reply delimiter followed by the “CLI>”...
• The unit sends all buffered data received from the air since step 2 to DTE and stays in data-mode (i.e. transmits data received from DTE over the air – including the just received, unexpected, data and forwards data received over the air to DTE.) www.javad.com...
The data received over the air could be lost due to Rx buffer overflow if the unit stays in Maintenance mode longer then 15 second. 3.2. Networking Commands 3.2.1. LINK The LINK command is responsible for configuring radio’s operation mode. It has six parameters listed below. www.javad.com...
