Chapter 2 ........................................................... Establish Communications
This chapter provides instructions on how to
Establish communications between a PC running StarUtil 3000 and one of the following:
The SF-3040 via USB-COM1 or COM2 (the SF-3040 supports RS-232 and Bluetooth
communications connections, but not Ethernet)
The SF-3050 via COM1- LAN or COM2- USB (the SF-3050 supports RS-232/RS-422,
USB 2.0, Ethernet, and Bluetooth communications connections).
Configure and establish Bluetooth communications
Configure and establish basic Ethernet communications (for the SF-3050 only)
Refer to the SF-3040 GNSS Product User Guide or to the SF-3050 GNSS Product User
Guide for a list and descriptions of the supplied and optional data cables.
Establish Serial or USB Device Communications
USB Communications:
The USB driver (“navcomx1c45x3050.inf”) must be in the same folder as
StarUtil 3000 for the USB port to auto-recognize the SF-3040 or the SF-3050. Confirm that the
driver is in the StarUtil 3000 folder on the PC (see Figure 1).
In addition, ensure that these files are in the same folder:
Starutil-3k_v1_1_x.exe
96-312007-3001RevX_Sapphire TRM.pdf
96-310029-3001RevX_StarUtil 3000.pdf.
1. Click the Connections button to establish communications between the PC and the SF-3040
). The Port Configuration dialog box opens (see
).

Ethernet Communications (SF-3050 only): Typically an RS-232 or USB connection is not
required prior to an Ethernet connection. This requirement exists only if any of the following
apply:
A previous Ethernet connection was not terminated properly via the
[ETHVCOM]ON,0.0.0.0,0 command. The [ETHVCOM]ON,0.0.0.0,0 command is
included in the default system setting.
To restore the SF-3050 to the
normal “listen for connection” mode so that an
Ethernet connection can be established, first establish an RS-232 or USB
connection. Then input [ETHVCOM]ON,0.0.0.0,0 via the Input Terminal window or
the appropriate user profile. The receiver will accept an Ethernet connection, or any
of these connection types: RS-232, USB, or Bluetooth.
