CONNECT USING WIFI

The RTK mosaic-X5 contains an ESP32-WROVER processor
which can act as a Ethernet to WiFi bridge. By linking the
MOSAIC ETHERNET (PoE) port to the ESP32 ETHERNET
port and putting the ESP32 firmware into WiFi mode, the
mosaic-X5 can join your WiFi network.
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. Attach the WiFi antenna. Screw the supplied WiFi/BT
antenna onto the ESP32 SMA connection. To minimize wear
of the SMA connector, we recommend: holding the antenna
body with one hand - to prevent it rotating - while screwing
the SMA connector into place with your other hand. If
needed, fold the antenna up so the antenna body is vertical.
