Configuring the Receiver
The Net-G5 receiver is intended primarily for use as a permanent or semi-permanent GNSS Reference Station to
establish networks supporting both real-time and post-processing applications. You can stream observation data
through any port to any device capable of receiving and utilizing it, including TopNET+ reference station software.
You can also log data internally to removable SD cards for downloading to support static or kinematic surveying,
mapping, monitoring, and positioning applications.
The Net-G5 is configurable for single to multiple scenarios, including the following:
•
permanent and semi-permanent Reference Station
•
temporary campaign receiver
•
RTK or DGPS rover (for monitoring a fixed location, system monitoring, or mobile data collecting)
The sections in this chapter describe receiver configuration, receiver options, loading a new Option Authorization
File (OAF), updating firmware, and performing a factory reset. To do this, you will need to download the Topcon
Receiver Utility (TRU) software from the Topcon Total Care website at www.topconcare.com. For information
about installing the software, see the
Topcon Receiver Utility (TRU) Online Help
, available only in the software.
Configuring the Receiver
The Net-G5 is generally configured as a static Reference Station that collects GNSS measurement information and
logs the data to a removable SD card, streams the data to a central computer, and possibly connects directly to
one or more radios (or any combination of these configurations). The Topcon Receiver Utility (TRU) and TopNET+
software are used to manage and configure the various functions of the receiver. Configuration settings are saved
to the NVRAM of the GNSS receiver board and are reflected when using the LED display panel.
The full range of both TRU and TopNET+ configuration and operation are outside the scope of this manual. For
more information on any of the procedures in this section, or on TRU or TopNET+, refer to the appropriate manual
available from www.topconcare.com, or embedded in TRU.
Once you have established a connection between the receiver and the computer, you will be able to:
•
configure the receiver and its components
•
send commands to the receiver
•
download files from the receiver’s memory
•
load a new OAF and other configuration files to a receiver
Using the Web Interface
The Net-G5 includes a built-in Web server that allows you to configure and monitor the receiver via a Web browser.
The following Web browsers are recommended for accessing the receiver:
•
Windows Internet Explorer 6.0 or later
•
Google Chrome
•
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later
•
Opera 9.0 or later
Accessing the Receiver Through the Web Browser
Before accessing the Net-G5 using the Web browser, determine whether the valid network parameters (IP address,
gateway, etc.) are specified in the receiver. Refer to the
TRU Online Help
for details regarding the network
parameters.
1. Open a recommended Web browser.
The browser window appears.
2. In the Address or Location bar of the Web browser, type one of the following addresses:
http://ipaddress<:port number> or
https://ipaddress<:port number>
(if SSL is enabled).
