Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview and Features
The S321 is an all-new multi-GNSS, multi-frequency survey receiver designed by and
for surveyors. The S321 delivers robust performance and high precision in the field in
a compact and rugged package. With multiple wireless communications ports and an
open GNSS interface, the S321 can be used in a variety of operating modes in a
network or crew. Use the S321 as a precise base station sending RTK or Atlas L-band
corrections to your existing rover network. Turn S321 into a lightweight and easy to
use rover by connecting it to your base via UHF radio or Wi-Fi network. The built-in
webUI is used to control, manage, and upgrade the S321 with new firmware and
activations. S321 is Athena enabled and Atlas capable.
Athena RTK
Athena RTK (Real time kinematic) technology is available on Eclipse-based GNSS
receivers. Athena RTK requires the use of two separate receivers: a stationary base
station (primary receiver) that broadcasts corrections over a wireless link to the rover
(secondary receiver). The localized corrections are processed on the rover to achieve
superior accuracy and repeatability. Performance testing has shown positioning
accuracy at the centimeter level.
Athena RTK has the following benefits:
• Improved Initialization time - Performing initializations in less than 15
seconds at better than 99.9% of the time
• Robustness in difficult operating environments - Extremely high productivity
under the most aggressive of geographic and landscape oriented
environments
• Performance on long baselines - Industry-leading position stability for long
baseline applications
Atlas L-Band
Atlas L-band corrections are available worldwide. With Atlas, the positioning accuracy
does not degrade as a function of distance to a base station, as the data content is not
composed of a single base station’s information, but an entire network’s information.
Atlas L-Band is Hemisphere's industry leading correction service, which can be added
as a subscription. Atlas L-Band has the following benefits:

S321 User Guide 3PN 875-0357-D Rev A1
Chapter 1: Introduction
• Positioning accuracy - Competitive positioning accuracies down to 2 cm
RMS in certain applications
• Positioning sustainability - Cutting edge position quality maintenance in the
absence of correction signals, using Hemisphere’s patented technology
• Scalable service levels - Capable of providing virtually any accuracy,
precision and repeatability level in the 5 to 100 cm range
• Convergence time - Industry-leading convergence times of 10-40 minutes
S321 is supported by our easy-to-use Atlas Portal (www.atlasgnss.com), which
empowers you to update firmware and enable functionality, including Atlas
subscriptions for accuracies from meter to sub-decimeter levels.

Installation of Base and Rover
Optional accessories:
such as external radio package? rover exclusive accessories? base exclusive
accessories.
Installation of Base
1. Put a tripod on a location with known coordinates or unknown coordinates,
attach receiver to tribrach.
2. Attach the transmitting radio antenna into the port “UHF”: using the 40cm
supporting pole is better, since increases the height of the antenna.
3. Switch on the receiver and select the base working mode.
Installation of Rover
1. Fix the bracket on the pole, fix the handheld to the bracket, put the rover on
the pole and attach receiving antenna into the port “UHF”.
2. Power on the receiver and select the rover working mode.
3. Open the handheld and start the software, then you can do the setting of the
instruments.
If you want to take very accurate measures (few cm), we recommend you to use a
tripod and put the rover on it.

GSM Functionality
This section provides advanced GSM information that requires connection to a PC
running either Hemisphere GNSS’ PocketMax utility or a terminal program such as
HyperTerminal.
This section covers the following topics:
• GSM overview
• GSM modes
• Configuring GSM for NTRIP
• SMS messaging
GSM Overview
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is a network technology for mobile
phone communications. The GSM modem in the S321 is what allows you to connect
to a GSM carrier.
The Access Point Name (APN) is a protocol that allows the S321 to access the internet
using the mobile phone network. It is a configurable network identifier used when
connecting to a GSM carrier. The default APNCFG value is "internet.com". The specific
APN required by the S321 depends on your mobile carrier. Check with your mobile
provider for details.
GSM Modes
The GSM module operates in four modes:
• IDLE - Default mode for the module. In this state, the GSM module only
attempts to register on the network.
• DIRECT IP - For users who have direct access to a server providing
differential corrections.
• LINK - For users to establish a link between two S321 modules directly,
where the BASE has a dynamic IP address. You should only use this mode
on the rover in a base station / rover setup (use IDLE mode for the base
station).
• NTRIP - Used to provide differential correction information to the GPS
receiver.
Configuring GSM for NTRIP
NTRIP (Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol) is the protocol for
transmitting GNSS data over the internet.
Note: To configure NTRIP you must connect the S321 to a PC running either
Hemisphere GNSS’ PocketMax utility or a terminal program such as HyperTerminal.
To configure NTRIP send the following command:
$GSMCFG,NTRIP,[remote host name or IP address],[port number],[mount
point name],[[username],[password]]
where,
![](/img.php?id=2926030&img=bg26.png)
S321 User Guide 25 PN 875-0357-D Rev A1
Chapter 3: Setup and Configuration
•Remote host name - server name (such as www.igs-ip.net) or an IP address
• Mount point name - caster stream name from NTRIP Caster Source Table
(you can download a sample source table from http://www.igs-ip.net:2101/).
If you leave this field blank, the S321 will fetch the caster source table and
select the mount point closest to its current position.
• User name and password - authentication with a user name and password is
required for most NTRIP casters. You can leave both blank to specify that no
authentication is required. The user name and password are case sensitive.
For example, to connect to the CALG0 stream on igs-ip.net send the following
command:
$GSMCFG,NRTIP,www.igs-ip.net,2101,CALG0,Usrnam,passwd
Configuring SMS Messaging
The S321 supports Short Message Service (SMS) configuration and event updates for
both base and rover operations.
When using SMS messaging keep the following in mind:
• The GSM module must be powered on for SMS commands to work
correctly.
• You can send SMS messages to the S321 from up to three numbers and
these numbers must be added to the S321 approved numbers list.
• By default the approved numbers list is comprised of the first three entries in
the SIM card address book. However, for a typical data-only SIM card, the
address book of the SIM card will be empty.
• Use the appropriate country code (the following procedures use the “+1”
country code for USA/Canada).
Adding or Overwriting a Number on the Approved Numbers List
You can add a number to an empty slot or overwrite an existing number using the
following command:
$JSMS,CONFIG,[slot number 1/2/3],[number],[name],[status messages
ON | OFF]
For example, to add “Service” (USA phone number 999-555-1212) to slot 1 with status
messages OFF (or to replace the current number in slot 1) send the following
command:
$JSMS,CONFIG,1,+19995551212,Service,OFF
The status message state (ON or OFF) allows the S321 to send an SMS message back
to the number to report information and events on the operation of the unit.
Displaying the Current List of Approved Numbers
To display the current list of approved numbers send the following command:
$JSMS,CONFIG
The reply below contains all the information on the configured numbers and may
include SIM card address book defaults that you can overwrite with your own
information.
$>JSMS,CONFIG,1,1,+19995551212,Service,OFF
![](/img.php?id=2926030&img=bg27.png)
S321 User Guide 26 PN 875-0357-D Rev A1
Chapter 3: Setup and Configuration
The format of the reply is:
$>JSMS,CONFIG,[number of approved numbers],[slot number 1/2/
3],[number],[name],[status messages ON | OFF]
Note: The reply contains one line for each number. For example, if there are two
approved numbers then the reply will contain a “$>JSMS,CONFIG” line for each
number.
Deleting a Number from the Approved Numbers List
To delete a number from the approved numbers list, send the following command:
$JSMS,CONFIG,[1/2/3 or keyword ALL],DELETE
For example, to delete the number in slot 2 send the following command:
$JSMS,CONFIG,2,DELETE
And to delete all numbers from the list, send the following command:
$JSMS,CONFIG,ALL,DELETE
Sending an SMS Message to an Approved Number
To send an SMS message to an approved number, send the following command:
$JSMS,SEND,[name or phone number or slot number],[message]
For example, to send a “This is a test” message to Customer Support (USA phone
number 480-348-9919, slot number 2) you can send any of the following commands:
$JSMS,SEND,SERVICE,This is a test
$JSMS,SEND,+14803489919,This is a test
$JSMS,SEND,2,This is a test
Restoring Factory Defaults
If you need to restore your factory defaults for any reason you can do this via the
Control panel.
To restore factory defaults:
• Press and hold the Power button for 10 to 20 seconds and release it while

i. Assign this Agreement or sell or otherwise transfer the Software to any other party except as part of the sale
or transfer of the whole Product.
3. UPDATES. At Hemisphere's discretion Hemisphere may make Updates available to Licensee. An update
("Update") means any update to the Software that is made available to Licensee including error corrections,
enhancements and other modifications. Licensee may access, download and install Updates during the Warranty
Period only. All Updates that Licensee downloads, installs or uses shall be deemed to be Software and subject to this
Agreement. Hemisphere reserves the right to modify the Product without any obligation to notify, supply or install
any improvements or alterations to existing Software.
4. SUPPORT. Hemisphere may make available directly or through its authorized dealers telephone and email support
for the Software. Contact Hemisphere to find the authorized dealer near you. As well, Hemisphere may make
available user and technical documentation regarding the Software. Hemisphere reserves the right to reduce and
limit access to such support at any time.
5. BACKUPS AND RECOVERY. Licensee shall back-up all data used, created or stored by the Software on a regular
basis as necessary to enable proper recovery of the data and related systems and processes in the event of a
malfunction in the Software or any loss or corruption of data caused by the Software. Licensee shall assume all risks
of loss or damage for any failure to comply with the foregoing.
6. OWNERSHIP. Hemisphere and its suppliers own all rights, title and interest in and to the Software and related
materials, including all intellectual property rights. The Software is licensed to Licensee, not sold.
7. TRADEMARKS. "Hemisphere GNSS", "Outback Guidance", "BEELINE", "Crescent", "Eclipse" and the associated
logos are trademarks of Hemisphere. Other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Licensee may
not use any of these trademarks without the consent of their respective owners.
8. LIMITED WARRANTY. Hemisphere warrants solely to the Licensee, subject to the exclusions and procedures set
forth herein below, that for a period of one (1) year from the original date of purchase of the Product in which it is
embedded (the "Warranty Period"), the Software, under normal use and maintenance, will conform in all material
respects to the documentation provided with the Software and any media will be free of defects in materials and
workmanship. For any Update, Hemisphere warrants, for 90 days from performance or delivery, or for the balance of
the original Warranty Period, whichever is greater, that the Update, under normal use and maintenance, will
conform in all material respects to the documentation provided with the Update and any media will be free of
defects in materials and workmanship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hemisphere does not warrant that the
Software will meet Licensee's requirements or that its operation will be error free.
9. WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS. The warranty set forth in Section (8) will not apply to any deficiencies caused by (a)
the Product not being used as described in the documentation supplied to Licensee, (b) the Software having been
altered, modified or converted in any way by anyone other than Hemisphere approved by Hemisphere, (c) any
malfunction of Licensee's equipment or other software, or (d) damage occurring in transit or due to any accident,

intended and should not be used as the primary means of navigation or for use in safety of life applications. The
potential positioning and navigation accuracy obtainable with the Software as stated in the Product or Software
documentation serves to provide only an estimate of achievable accuracy based on specifications provided by the
US Department of Defense for GPS positioning and DGPS service provider performance specifications, where
applicable.
10. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THIS AGREEMENT, HEMISPHERE MAKES NO
REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND TO LICENSEE, WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN
AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND INCLUDING
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR THAT THE USE OF THE
SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS,
WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS ARISING AS A RESULT OF CUSTOM, USAGE OR TRADE AND THOSE ARISING
UNDER STATUTE.
11. LIMITS ON WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or
conditions, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to Licensee. In that case, any implied warranties or
conditions which would then otherwise arise will be limited in duration to ninety (90) days from the date of the
license of the Software or the purchase of the Product. The warranties given herein give Licensee specific legal rights
and Licensee may have other rights which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
12. CHANGE TO WARRANTY. No employee or agent of Hemisphere is authorized to change the warranty provided or
the limitation or disclaimer of warranty provisions. All such changes will only be effective if pursuant to a separate
agreement signed by senior officers of the respective parties.
13. WARRANTY CLAIM. In the event Licensee has a warranty claim Licensee must first check for and install all
Updates that are made available. The warranty will not otherwise be honored. Proof of purchase may be required.
Hemisphere does not honor claims asserted after the end of the Warranty Period.
14. LICENSEE REMEDIES. In all cases which involve a failure of the Software to conform in any material respect to the
documentation during the Warranty Period or a breach of a warranty, Hemisphere's sole obligation and liability, and
Licensee's sole and exclusive remedy, is for Hemisphere, at Hemisphere's option, to (a) repair the Software, (b)
replace the Software with software conforming to the documentation, or (c) if Hemisphere is unable, on a
reasonable commercial basis, to repair the Software or to replace the Software with conforming software within
ninety (90) days, to terminate this Agreement and thereafter Licensee shall cease using the Software. Hemisphere
will also issue a refund for the price paid by Licensee less an amount on account of amortization, calculated on a
straight-line basis over a deemed useful life of three (3) years.
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL HEMISPHERE BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES INCLUDING ARISING IN RELATION TO ANY LOSS OF DATA,
INCOME, REVENUE, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS EVEN IF HEMISPHERE HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. FURTHER, IN NO EVENT WILL HEMISPHERE'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE
LIABILITY HEREUNDER, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY
LICENSEE TO HEMISPHERE TO PURCHASE THE PRODUCT. THIS LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION APPLIES
IRRESPECTIVE OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT,
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL
THEORY AND WILL SURVIVE A FUNDAMENTAL BREACH.
16. LIMITS ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Some jurisdictions do not allow for the limitation or exclusion of liability for
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Licensee and Licensee
may also have other legal rights which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
17. BASIS OF BARGAIN. Licensee agrees and acknowledges that Hemisphere has set its prices and the parties have
entered into this Agreement in reliance on the limited warranties, warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability set
forth herein, that the same reflect an agreed-to allocation of risk between the parties (including the risk that a
remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same forms an essential basis
of the bargain between the parties. Licensee agrees and acknowledges that Hemisphere would not have been able
to sell the Product at the amount charged on an economic basis without such limitations.
18. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS INDEMNITY. Hemisphere shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee from and
against any and all actions, claims, demands, proceedings, liabilities, direct damages, judgments, settlements, fines,
penalties, costs and expenses, including royalties and attorneys' fees and related costs, in connection with or arising
out of any actual infringement of any third party patent, copyright or other intellectual property right by the Software
or by its use, in accordance with this Agreement and documentation, PROVIDED THAT: (a) Hemisphere has the right
to assume full control over any action, claim, demand or proceeding, (b) Licensee shall promptly notify Hemisphere
of any such action, claim, demand, or proceeding, and (c) Licensee shall give Hemisphere such reasonable
assistance and tangible material as is reasonably available to Licensee for the defense of the action, claim, demand
or proceeding. Licensee shall not settle or compromise any of same for which Hemisphere has agreed to assume
responsibility without Hemisphere's prior written consent. Licensee may, at its sole cost and expense, retain
separate counsel from the counsel utilized or retained by Hemisphere.
19. INFRINGEMENT. If use of the Software may be enjoined due to a claim of infringement by a third party then, at its
sole discretion and expense, Hemisphere may do one of the following: (a) negotiate a license or other agreement so
that the Product is no longer subject to such a potential claim, (b) modify the Product so that it becomes non-
infringing, provided such modification can be accomplished without materially affecting the performance and
functionality of the Product, (c) replace the Software, or the Product, with non-infringing software, or product, of
equal or better performance and quality, or (d) if none of the foregoing can be done on a commercially reasonable
basis, terminate this license and Licensee shall stop using the Product and Hemisphere shall refund the price paid by
Licensee less an amount on account of amortization, calculated on a straight-line basis over a deemed useful life of
three (3) years.
The foregoing sets out the entire liability of Hemisphere and the sole obligations of Hemisphere to Licensee in
respect of any claim that the Software or its use infringes any third party rights.
20. INDEMNIFICATION. Except in relation to an infringement action, Licensee shall indemnify and hold Hemisphere
harmless from any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of
lawyers and other professionals) arising out of or in connection with Licensee's use of the Product, whether direct or
indirect, including without limiting the foregoing, loss of data, loss of profit or business interruption.
21. TERMINATION. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause. Hemisphere may terminate this
Agreement on 30 days notice to Licensee if Licensee fails to materially comply with each provision of this
Agreement unless such default is cured within the 30 days. Any such termination by a party shall be in addition to
and without prejudice to such rights and remedies as may be available, including injunction and other equitable
remedies. Upon receipt by Licensee of written notice of termination from Hemisphere or termination by Licensee,
Licensee shall at the end of any notice period (a) cease using the Software; and (b) return to Hemisphere (or destroy
and provide a certificate of a Senior Officer attesting to such destruction) the Software and all related material and
any magnetic or optical media provided to Licensee. The provisions of Sections 6), 7), 8), 9), 10), 15), 21), 26) and 27)
herein shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.
22. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. Licensee agrees that Licensee will comply with all export control legislation of Canada,
the United States, Australia and any other applicable country's laws and regulations, whether under the Arms
Export Control Act, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the Export Administration Regulations, the
regulations of the United States Departments of Commerce, State, and Treasury, or otherwise as well as the export
control legislation of all other countries.
23. PRODUCT COMPONENTS. The Product may contain third party components. Those third party components may
be subject to additional terms and conditions. Licensee is required to agree to those terms and conditions in order to
use the Product.
24. FORCE MAJEURE EVENT. Neither party will have the right to claim damages as a result of the other's inability to
perform or any delay in performance due to unforeseeable circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as
labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, war, riot, insurrection, epidemic, Internet virus attack, Internet failure, supplier
failure, act of God, or governmental action not the fault of the non-performing party.
25. FORUM FOR DISPUTES. The parties agree that the courts located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and the courts of
appeal there from will have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any disputes between Licensee and Hemisphere
concerning this Agreement or Licensee's use or inability to use the Software and the parties hereby irrevocably
agree to attorn to the jurisdiction of those courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may apply to any court
of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief.
26. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada, exclusive of
any of its choice of law and conflicts of law jurisprudence.
27. CISG. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this
Agreement or any transaction hereunder.
28. GENERAL. This is the entire agreement between Licensee and Hemisphere relating to the Product and Licensee's
use of the same, and supersedes all prior, collateral or contemporaneous oral or written representations, warranties
or agreements regarding the same. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement will be binding unless in

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils
radio exempts de licence.L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le
brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna
of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To
reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique
à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la
puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à
l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if
Category II) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed
