2 Setting up the device
The delivery includes the NTRIP-X device, a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi antenna, and a multi-band GNSS antenna
with 5m antenna cable. An additional USB-C power supply with at least 2 A current rating is needed.
To set-up the device, connect the Wi-Fi antenna to the left (WIFI) antenna port and the GNSS antenna
to the right (GNSS) antenna port using the supplied antenna cable. Make sure that the GNSS antenna
is mounted with a good 360° view to the sky and in such a way that it will not move while active.
Plug-in the USB-C power supply (not included) to start operation.
Under no circumstances should the GNSS antenna be re-positioned while the device is
powered. If you need to change the antenna location, unplug the NTRIP-X power, change the
antenna position and then, with the antenna tightly fixed, power on the device again.
2.1 Using alternative antennas
Any 2.4 GHz antenna with SMA connector may be used as an alternative Wi-Fi antenna.
However, special care should be taken when selecting an alternative GNSS antenna to avoid degrading
the system performance. The supplied GNSS antenna is a high quality active multi-band and multi-
constellation antenna, and it should only be replaced by an active antenna suited for a phantom
supply of 3.3 V and 100 mA maximum current. It should support all of the following constellations and
bands: GPS L1/2/5, GLONASS L1/2, Galileo E1/5a/5b and BDS B1I/2I/3I.
