5. RTK: Base Radio

The base radio is intended for transmitting differential corrections. You can set GSM/CDMA modem (Cellular modem) or UHF modem (Radio) or LongLinkā„¢ for HiPer SR/HiPer VR/HiPrer HR receiver. The dialog content depends on the modem model selected.

Note: The base radio modem is always connected to receiver.

To configure the radio modem:

  1. In the Type field select which type of Radio Modem you will use: Internal Radio, or Internal Cellular, or External Radio, or External Cellular
  2. In the Model field select model of the modem. For HiPer SR, HiPer VR and HiPer HR receivers, the LongLinkā„¢ modem does not require any additional settings.
  3. For Internal Radio and Internal Cellular specify the Baud rate for the receiver Port that the radio is connected to.

    Note: In some rare cases for modem connection with the "Auto" baud rate selected, the baud rate cannot be set. MAGNET Field displays an error message for this case:
    Modem baud rate could not be determined automatically. Please run TRU (see Help for details) or specify baud rate in configuration.

    See here how to resolve the issue.

  4. For External Radio and External Cellular specify communication parameters for the receiver Port that the radio is connected to: Parity, the number of Data bits, the number of Stop bits, which are specific to the connected modem.
  5. If required, click Defaults to return all the communication parameters to the default settings.
  6. Click Next to specify the base and rover modem radio parameters as required.
