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 in the Name combo box and typing in the name of the network and filling out

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.
