Setting for Optical communications with total station

The following settings is prerequisites for the optical communications to take place between the 
total station (or an application program) and RC-2RW.

●

When communicating by using [EXT.LINK] of the application software 
(AP-L1 communication mode). 

1

Select Communication Path to RC in the program [EXT.LINK] .
Operation:
Main menu - Program Modes [F1](Prog) - [F2](EXT.LINK) - [F2](Setting) - [F1](CABLE / 
RADIO MODEM / RC)

2

Set Parameter for RC.
Operation:
Main menu - Program Modes [F1](Prog) - [F2](EXT.LINK) - [F2](Setting) - [F3](RC)
Main menu - Parameters Setting Modes [F6](Para) - [F2](communication) - [F3](Set RC) 

3

Execute the External Link. 
Operation:
Main menu - Program Modes [F1](Prog) - [F2](EXT.LINK) - [F1](Execute)

●

When communicating without using [EXT.LINK]  (GTS  communication 
mode).
 

1

Select Communication Path to RC in the Parameters Setting Mode.
Operation:
Main menu - Parameters Setting Modes [F6](Para) - [F2](communication) - [F1](Serial Port)

2

Set the parameters in the Parameters Setting Mode. (Refer to Table of item to be set showen 
as follows.)
Operation:
Main menu - Parameters Setting Modes [F6](Para) - [F2](communication) - [F3](Set RC) 

Set the parameters in Setting Mode. 
Refer to Table of item to be set in Setting Mode.

●

When communicating by using Bluetooth, refer to the manual of Data Collector’s application 
software.

●

When communicating by means of RS-232C.

Connect a data collector to be used to the serial RS-232C connector of the RC-2RW, and set the 
items as follows.
