Port Allocation
Table
indicator [4] turns red, meaning the battery is being
charged.
The battery is fully charged when the light indicator [4]
turns steady green.
Note that the docking station will switch to a lower charging
rate if it has to charge two batteries at the same time, one in
the turned-off or turned-on receiver, and the other at the back
of the docking station.
The receiver uses internally several virtual ports as well as a
physical port made available to users via the docking station
or the POGO cable.
When setting Bluetooth or the NMEA output function (in
GNSS Toolbox), all ports are listed for use but only some of
them are truly available. (All the other ones are reserved for
internal receiver requirements.)
The table below shows how the ports are allocated and which
ones are made available to you.
