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 SurvCE and select Configure Rover in the Equip tab.
Press the Configure button to the right of the Data Collector Internet option.
Select the COM port on the data collector that is connected to the RTK port of the GPS rover receiver. It cannot be the same port that is used to control the receiver and is selected in the GPS Rover Comms tab. It may be a serial port or a BT port with a connection that has already been established.
After selecting the port and pressing the green check to accept the input, select the network type in the RTK tab. Other settings are just like using the other modem selections as explained in the section “Connecting a GPS Rover to a Modem or Base Network”.
