MX610/MX612 Operator and Installation manual
MX521A/MX521B/MX525A/MX575C/MX575D Antenna setup
In the initial commissioning of the MX61x navigation system or when a new MX antenna is
installed, you need to manually select the position data source of the MX610/MX612 when
using the MX521A, MX525A, MX575C and MX575D smart GPS antenna sensors. They are
normally connected via the NMEA 0183 ports #3 and #4 of the MX61xJB junction box.

Notes:
1.
If MXJB-NMEA3 (Port 3) is selected as position source the “Configure” button will not be avail-
able. To configure Port 3, it has to be deselected first as source.
2.
Possible baud rates are 4800 or 19,200. When both antenna and J-Box port 3 are at the same
baud rate (i.e. 4800), the J-Box sends a setup command to change the antenna baud rate to
19,200. Port 3 in turn switches itself to 19,200 baud automatically. If this fails to happen, you
may have to manually reset the baud rate of the Port 3 of the junction box to 19,200 (see set-
ting the antenna port baud rate for procedure).
