You can connect any GNSS RTK receiver with SurPad 4.2 software using Bluetooth, Serial Port, and TCP Client methods.
TCP Client Connection Method
1. Prepare the Receiver:
• Configure your receiver to act as a TCP server. This involves setting up the receiver’s network settings, including assigning an IP address and port number.
2. Set Up the Receiver’s TCP Server:
• Access the configuration interface of your receiver (via a web interface or serial connection).
• Assign a static IP address and set a port for TCP communication (e.g., 2101).
3. Connect the Android Device:
• Ensure your Android device is connected to the same local network (Wi-Fi or wired) as the receiver.
4. Configure SurPad 4.2:
• Open SurPad 4.2.
• Navigate to the GNSS receiver setup section.
• Select "Device Manufacturer: Other" and choose "TCP Client" as the communication mode.
• Enter the IP address and port number of your receiver.
• Save the settings and connect.
5. Verify Connection:
• Ensure SurPad 4.2 is receiving data from the receiver.
