Using a Base/Rover with Radio

Overview

This section outlines how to use a base/rover with a radio link in lieu of a VRS/RTVRN correction source with PointMan

You are able to setup a base/rover for use with PointMan on the following Trimble GNSS units:

Power on the base and connect to its Trimble GNSS WiFi (default password is abcdef if requested)
Open your Chrome browser on the PointMan device and navigate to 192.168.142.1
Log in using “admin” and either “password” or “admin”
Tap the menu button on the home page
Tap IP Configuration then Port Configuration
In the first dropdown, select Bluetooth 2
In the second dropdown, select NMEA
Set the following items as 1Hz
GGA
GSA
GST
VTG
ZDA

Scroll down and tap Save

The base should now show that Bluetooth 2 is setup (but Red) as seen below. This is normal.

</ol>

Do the exact same setup for your rover as you did for the base. They should both be on Bluetooth 2

Setup your base like you normally would in Access to get the radios transmitting
Once the base/rover is setup, go to the next procedure for PointMan below

Download Trimble Mobile Manager and either sign in or create an account
Download Trimble Catalyst Service. This will run in the background and needs no interaction by the user.

Log into PointMan and tap the menu button on the top left corner
Tap Settings
Tap Configure Bluetooth
Pair to your Trimble GPS
In PointMan settings, tap the GPS dropdown in the Devices section
PointMan will open the Trimble Mobile Manager app on your device, sign in and then return to PointMan settings. You will see a popup that says "Successfully loaded Trimble ID".
Tap the dropdown again, and select Trimble R-Series
Tap the dropdown box next to the Trimble R-Series dropdown and select your Trimble receiver
