7.4 Connecting to the internet
To be able to use PinPoint-GIS Web, your browser should be connected to the internet. This
section details how this can be done by enabling the Mobile Hotspot functionality of the Altus
NR3.
Connect to the Internet using the
internal Cellular/GSM on the Altus NR3
•
Ensure that your Altus NR3 is switched on and
that the WiFi LED in the receiver is on (double click
the front-panel power button to toggle the WiFi)
•
Connect your mobile device (tablet, phone or PC)
to the Altus NR3 using the WiFi connection
•
If connected via WiFi you can open the web
browser on your mobile device and open the
web interface of the Altus NR3 (using the URL:
http://192.168.20.1
).
•
Make sure the GSM of the Altus NR3 is on and
connected to the internet. You can con
fi
gure the
cellular modem on the Communication/ cellular
tab on the web interface.
If you want a high
accuracy position then use the NTRIP settings tab
to con
fi
gure RTK (see Altus NR3 user manual)
•
When connected via WiFi to the Altus NR3
your mobile device will lose its own Internet
connection. The Altus NR3 allows you to share its
Internet connection by using the Mobile Hotspot
functionality.
◦
This is enabled on the WiFi tab in the Altus
NR3 web interface. Next to

automatically at boot time)
If you want to use the Internet in your mobile
device then use a Bluetooth connection to the
Altus NR3 and use the NTRIP connection in the
PinPoint-GIS app
