11.2. ALTUS NR2 RTK BASE-ROVER WI-FI CONNECTION

Step 3: Conﬁgure Rover input of differential corrections

Conﬁgure the rover Wi-Fi connection as Client over USB

If the base station receiver has been conﬁgured as a Wi-Fi Access Point then the rover

should be conﬁgured as a client. In client mode however, the rover can make only one Wi-Fi

connection which in this case, will be with the base station. For this reason, the rover should

be conﬁgured using the USB connection.

The steps below describe how to connect via USB to the Altus NR2 and conﬁgure it in Wi-Fi

client mode.

• Plug the USB cable of the Rover unit and connect to the web interface using

192.168.3.1

• On the ‘Communication/WiFi’ tab, click on the ‘Enable WiFi Client’ button as shown in

Figure 11-12.

Figure 11-12:

Click on ‘Enable WiFi Client’

• Next, click on the ‘Conﬁgure’ button in the ‘WiFi Client Status’ panel as shown in

Figure 11-13. This will display a list of reachable Wi-Fi networks.

Figure 11-13:

Click on ‘Conﬁgure’

• From the list of networks, select to connect to the base station receiver by clicking ‘Add’

as shown in Figure 11-14.
