Section 3: Operation
3.4 Config Port Status Display/Messages
Current operation status can be monitored by connecting to the Config Port on the front panel
using the Data/Power cable and a PC with a terminal application such as HyperTerminal.
Connect to the Config Port and configure the terminal application as explained in Section 2 –
Accessing the Configuration Menu. When the unit is powered up, it will begin operation as
explained in Section 3.2 – Startup Sequence. The current status of the unit is output as
ASCII text on Config Port. A number of different possible messages may appear as they
become applicable.
Status Messages include:
• Status of the Cellular Modem connection to the Internet.
• Status of the TCP socket connection to the server (or NTRIP Caster).
• Status of the GPS Positional Messages – whether or not they are being sent – and if
so, the actual message.
• Status of data received from the server or NTRIP Caster, and its broadcast on the
wireless network.
The following screenshots provide example status messages:
