ThisreceivermakesiteasytosetupapowerfulandreliableContinuously

OperatingReferenceStation(CORS)ortocollectdatafromtemporaryfield

locations.

Thereceiverisidealforthefollowinginfrastructureapplications:

 AspartofaGNSSInfrastructurenetworkinconjunctionwithCHC

ReferenceStationNetwork(CRNet)software.

 Aspartofapermanentreferencestationwithorwithoutsupporting

software.

 AtemporaryfieldbasestationtobroadcastRTKcorrectionsandcollect

observationsforpostprocessing.

2.1. RECEIVERFRAMEWORK

Thereceiverintegratesthemulti‐frequencyGNSStechnologyintoa

specializedprocessingandcommunicationsframework.Thereceivercan

operateasastandalonereferencestationoritcanbeintegratedintoa

scalablenetwork.

WithanInternetProtocol(IP)astheprimarycommunicationsmethod,you

canusepublicdomaintools,suchasawebbrowserandFTPclient,to

configurethereceiverandaccessloggeddatafiles.

NOTE‐AllreferencestotheInternetrefertoeitheraWideArea

Network(WAN)oraLocalAreaNetwork(LAN)connection.

Thereceiveradoptsasecuredsystemthatrequiresapasswordprotected

Usethenetworkmanagementfeaturestocreateabase/roverconfiguration

withavarietyofoperatingmodes.Youcanthenenablethosemodesas

necessaryinsteadofswitchingtheglobalstateofthereceiverfromone

modetoanother.Forexample,youcanconfigureanumberofstreaming

serviceswithdifferentconfigurations(suchasanycombinationofdata

stream,sampleinterval)ondifferentTCPorUDPports.Toactivateoneor

moremodes,opentheconnectiontothespecificport.Thisallowsmultiple

clientstoaccessanygivenstreamingservice.

Thesefeaturesandmanymore,shiftthemodelofaGNSSreceivertoward

2.1.1. THENETWORKAPPLIANCECONCEPT

Traditionally,aGNSSreceiverhasoneoperator.Thatpersonistheonlyuser

ofthereceiversotheycanchangesettingswithoutaffectingotherusers.

WiththeN72GNSSreferencereceiver,anoperatorcanconfigureareceiver

once,andthenmakeitavailableasanetworkapplianceforgeneraluseby

oneormoreusers(orclients).

Thisnetworkapplianceconceptletsyousetupthereceivertoprovideone

ormoreservicesthatoneormoreuserscanaccessthroughaLocalArea

Network(LAN)oraWideAreaNetwork(WAN),suchastheInternet.Once

thereceiverissetup,youneedmakeonlyminimalchanges,ifany,tothe

receiverconfiguration.

Whenthereceiverisoperatingasanetworkappliance,itprovidesservices

toallusersattachedtothereceiverthroughthenetwork.

Differentstreamedservicesmaybeconfiguredondifferentports,for

example,withdifferingdataratesordatacombination.Toobtainaservice,

theclienthasonlytoconnecttoaspecificport.Inthisway,mostusersdo

notneedtocontrolthereceiver.Changingglobalsettings,suchasmasks,will

affectallusersofallservices.

Thereceiverprovidesthefollowingstandardconfigurationanddatalogging

services:

Use... Toperform...

HTTP Allmanualandautomatedconfigurationoperationstomanage
