Getting Started

Using Ethernet
CONNECT USING ETHERNET
The simplest way to get your RTK mosaic-X5 up and
running is to connect
it to your Ethernet
network or an
Ethernet port on your
broadband router:
1. Connect the GNSS
antenna. Inside your
RTK mosaic-X5 kit,
you will find the L1/
L2/L5 GNSS "UFO"
antenna. It has a
TNC connection. Use
the supplied TNC-
SMA cable to connect the
antenna to the mosaic-X5
MOSAIC SMA connection. Make sure the antenna is
securely mounted to a structure so that it cannot be
moved and has a clear view of the sky. Any movement in
the antenna will cause inaccurate readings by RTK rovers.
2. Connect the RTK mosaic-X5 to your Ethernet
network or router. Use any Ethernet cable to connect
the MOSAIC ETHERNET (PoE) port to your network or an
Ethernet port on your router. If your router provides Power-
over-Ethernet (PoE), you're all set! You should see the red
power (PWR) LED light up and text start to scroll up the
OLED display. If your router does not provide PoE, move on
to step 3.
3. Provide power. You can power the RTK mosaic-X5
using the supplied USB power supply (5V 1A). Plug the
power supply into the wall. Use the supplied USB-C cable
