To  force  the C099-F9P  to start  in  Bluetooth  SPP server mode  at the next device restart,  use the 
following CLI command: 

/mem_store/run bt 1 

You can later revert to default start-up settings by erasing the memory content, which is described in 
section 4.4.1 Revert to factory default.

Wi-Fi connectivity 

The C099-F9P can be operated in Wi-Fi mode to enable longer communication range, higher wireless 
link throughput  and interconnection  between  base and rover boards.  The  on-board  ZED-F9P and 
ODIN-W2 are interconnected via I2C bus, as in the Bluetooth operation. Hence, ensure that the desired 
ZED-F9P messages are enabled for the I2C interface.

Wi-Fi access point and UDP server 

The C099-F9P RTK base can be set to operate as a Wi-Fi access point and UDP server to deliver RTCM 
corrections via a Wi-Fi link. For rover operation, the C099-F9P can be configured either to Wi-Fi STA 
or Wi-Fi AP mode. The latter configuration is suitable for a single rover connected to a u-center UDP 
client.  Refer to section  4.3.2  Command line interface of ODIN-W2  to recap the required terminal 
settings for the command line interface.
