LongLink™ tab of the Connections dialog
To discover available bases supporting LongLink™ communication with the connected rover; to connect, disconnect, or switch the base that transmit corrections; to remotely access a base receiver using rover's LongLink™.
This tab may have the name Long-Range BT when MAGNET Field is connected to a Sokkia branded GNSS receiver.
This tab is available when LongLink™ is selected as a base and rover receivers' internal radio for kinematic surveys in the Base radio / Rover radio dialog and MAGNET Field is connected to a rover receiver.
Note: LongLink™ technology provides the interference free base-rover communication on 1,000+ ft (300+ m) from the base station and doesn't require an FCC license to operate. LongLink™ communication is supported by the following Topcon GNSS receivers: HiPer SR, HiPer VR, HiPer HR.
The LongLink™ connection automatically establishes by the rover receiver if there is an available base with enabled LongLink™.
- To review the details of a connected LongLink™ base transmitting corrections and other available LongLink™ bases:
- The connected base transmitting corrections is marked with
.
- All other available LongLink™ bases are marked with
.
- The list of LongLink™ bases displays:
- Name - the Bluetooth name of a base;
- Site ID - the name of a base occupation point;
- Signal - the signal strength in percents;
- Distance - the current distance to a base;
- Avail. - the sequential number among detected available bases;
- 3 coordinates - the current coordinates of a base occupation presented in the current job's type of coordinates;
- BT Address - the Bluetooth Unique Address of a base.
- Click the Start Over button while discovering available bases to start the search again, when required.
- Click the Refresh button to start a new search for available bases and update the list.
- To connect, disconnect, or switch to another LongLink™ base transmitting corrections to the connected rover:
- To stop receiving corrections from the connected base, highlight the connected
base and click the Disconnect button. The connected rover stops receiving corrections from that base.
- To start receiving corrections from a base, highlight an available
base and click the Connect button. MAGNET Field initiates LongLink™ communication with that base and after the connection is established the rover starts to receive corrections.
- To remotely access and configure an available base using LongLink™:
- Highlight a base in the list and click the Configure button to remotely connect MAGNET Field to this base, when required. The current connection to the rover stopped, and the rover receiver is used as a LongLink™ proxy unit to connect to a base receiver right from the current location.
- Reconnect to the rover receiver in a usual way after completing remote connection to the base receiver via LongLink™ proxy.
Note: The LongLink™ connectivity is also useful to remotely connect MAGNET Field to a robotic total station (PS, DS, GT and GTL series are supported) through a LongLink™ enabled GNSS receiver. Learn more...
