To convert a CHCNAV iBase GNSS device from an agricultural system to an RTK surveying system, configure it through a web browser:
1. Access the device’s web interface. 2. Go to the input/output settings submenu. 3. For RTK surveying, configure the RTK Client: - Tap the Connect button. - Select a connection protocol (NTRIP, APIS_BASE, or APIS_ROVER). - Enter the required parameters (such as server address, port, and mount point). - Click to log on to CORS or APIS. 4. Alternatively, configure as TCP/UDP Client or NTRIP Server: - Tap Connect next to the chosen option. - Select TCP, UDP, NTRIP1.0, or NTRIP2.0 as protocol. - Enter server IP and port. - Set the messages to output. - Save settings to complete the connection.

1 Introduction The iBase GNSS Receiver User Guide describes how to set up and use the CHC® iBase GNSS receiver. In this manual, “the receiver” refers to the iBase GNSS receiver unless otherwise stated.
For license information, consult your local dealer. Bluetooth® operates in license-free bands. Before operating a iBase GNSS receiver, determine if authorization or a license to operate the unit is required in your country. It is the responsibility of the end-user to obtain an operator's permit or license for the receiver for the location or country of use.
Introduction (www.chcnav.com), contact your local CHC dealer from which you purchased the receiver(s). If you need to contact CHC technical support, please contact us by email (support@chcnav.com) or Skype (chc_support). 1.4 Disclaimer Before using the receiver, please make sure that you have read and understood this User Guide, as well as the safety information.
2 Getting Started with iBase 2.1 About the Receiver The ibase GNSS receiver is a professional GNSS base station. The working performance is close to GNSS receiver with external radio, but user no need to carry heavy external battery, external radio and radio antenna. 5W internal radio ensures that the end user can reach 8km work range.
