Configuration Process

The Intuicom RTK Bridge - Cellular stores four configuration "Profiles" of which one can be
active at a time. A Profile contains the necessary parameters for connecting to a data stream
of RTK correction messages.
Prior to configuration, it is helpful to have the following pieces of data available:
• Whether the Correction Server (and TCP port) to which the unit will connect is a
RAW TCP port, or an NTRIP caster
• The IP address and TCP port for the Network Server
• If the port to which the connection stream is connected supports NTRIP, the
mountpoint will need to be specified.
• If authentication is required (for either a RAW or NTRIP connection), and if so,
your username and password
• Based on the type of correction stream to which the unit will be connecting –
determine if a GPS (GGA NMEA) message needs to be sent and if so, should the
message be generated in real-time from the embedded GPS, be supplied from an
external source via the Data port, or should the message relay a fixed, user supplied
position.
• Whether the embedded Intuicom radio should be enabled, and if so – on which
channel. If a channel needs to be customized, gather the necessary channel
parameters such as Frequency Key, Network ID, Min and Max packet sizes and
whether Repeaters are enabled.
• The baud rate for the Data port on the front panel of the device – this will be the baud
rate needed to interface to a third party external data radio.
The Intuicom RTK Bridge can store one set of the above parameters for each of four Profiles
– allowing the user to select the configuration set to use in the field without the need for a PC
and terminal program. For example: a user may want to have one Profile connect to a
network correction stream and another Profile connect to a single baseline correction from
the nearest reference station and be able to change between the two in the field. Another
example might be the situation where the device is moved between locations and at each
location there is a different external data radio with a different baud rate – while both
locations may want the same correction stream, the Profiles provide an easy way to change
the baud rate for the external data port.
