Setting Up Your System
Receiver and Phone-Based System Setup
Configuring a Trimble Placer GPS/DR
1. Connect the hardware security key to the parallel port of the PC.
2. Connect the serial port of the PC to the RS-232 port of the
Agilent E645x receiver using an RS-232 straight-through cable. The
default serial port used by the application is multiplexed serial, COM1. If
your PC uses a different COM port, you can specify a different serial port
number.
3. Connect the RF antenna to the RF input of the Agilent E645x receiver.
Use the supplied Type-N to TNC adapter, if necessary.
4. Connect the end of Agilent cable 86154A option 211, labeled GPS RS-
232, to the GPS RS-232 port of the receiver.
5. Connect the 37-pin connector of the Agilent cable 86154A option 211 to
the existing Trimble Placer GPS/DR connector. Connect the remaining
end of the Agilent cable 86154A option 211 to the Trimble Placer GPS/
DR cable.
6. Connect the GPS antenna to the GPS ANT port of the Trimble Placer
GPS/DR antenna. Agilent Technologies recommends that a "bulkhead
mount" GPS antenna be used whenever possible for improved
performance.
7. Connect the phone cable to a second COM port (different than used in
step 1). On most laptop PCs this will require the use of a Socket Serial I/O
RS-232 card that is installed into the PCMCIA slot on your PC.
8. Connect power to the Trimble Placer GPS/DR and the PC.
9. Turn on the Trimble Placer GPS/DR, the Agilent E645x receiver and the
phone.
10. Turn on the PC and run the application.
11. Select or create the project you are going to use.
12. Configure the GPS unit for the TAIP protocol:
a. Select Configuration mode.
b. Select the Hardware tab.
