SpiderNet:
Networks that require that a GPUID message be sent to the network should use the SpiderNet option. The
SpiderNet Configure window comes up when the Configure button to the right of the SpiderNet option is pressed.
Add a new network by selecting
the other fields. If the User Name and Password fields are left empty, the GPUID message is not sent to the network.
Just like when using a radio, the RTK Port combo box is to identify which port on the receiver should be configured to
accept RTK corrections. The Baud, Parity, and Stop Bits combo boxes specify the settings for the RTK port. Message
Type identifies what type of RTK correction message the receiver should be expecting.
Base ID when using a network is a combo box to select the name of the network or base the modem should connect to.
Use the Network Configure button to change the bases available in this list.
“Send Rover Position to Network” if turned on will cause the receiver to periodically send GGA messages out of the
RTK port to the base or network.
Connecting a Data Collector to the Internet
There are several ways of connecting a data collector to the internet – Cell phone cards inserted into the data collector,
connections to a cell phone with a data plan, etc. These instructions assume that an internet connection has already been
established to the data collector. One way to tell that the data collector is connected to the internet is to browse the
internet using Internet Explorer. For information about how to connect a data collector to the internet using an Enfora
cell card in an Explorer 600+, search Carlson Knowledge Base for “Enfora”.
Once the connection to the internet has been established, start FAST Survey and select Configure Rover in the Equip
tab.
