4.1. HOW TO CONFIGURE THE ASTERX-U MARINE FG FOR RTK

4.1.2 How to con

ﬁ

gure the AsteRx-U MARINE Fg in

RTK rover mode using the cellular modem and
NTRIP

Step 1: Enable RTK mode

Ensure that RTK is be enabled as a positioning mode. This can be done in the

GNSS, Position

tab by checking the ‘RTK’ box in the ‘Position Mode’

ﬁ

eld as shown in Figure 4-4.
