S320 Quick Reference Guide 4 PN 875-0281-000 Rev A1Installing/Connecting the S320This section describes how to connect the following:• Attaching the antenna (see below)• Connecting to a power source (see page 5)• Setting up the unit (see page 5)Attaching the AntennaYou can attach the antenna in one of two ways:• Attaching the antenna directly to the antenna port on the bottom of the unit with the antenna vertical and pointing downward (left photo in Figure 3)• Attaching the antenna bracket to the unit and then attaching the antenna to the port at the end of the bracket with the antenna vertical and pointing upward (right photo in Figure 3)Figure 3: Antenna installation optionsNote: The antenna bracket offers an alternative solution in situations where installing the antenna on the bottom of the unit may not provide suitable reception, such as where a small increase in antenna height has a noticeable effect on reception.To install the antenna directly into the unit:1. On the bottom of the unit remove the rubber cap covering the antenna port.2. Screw the antenna into the antenna port until snug. Do not overtighten.To install the antenna using the antenna bracket:1. Align the bracket to fit into the recessed area on the bottom of the unit (as shown at right).2. Using the two thumbscrews on the bracket secure the bracket to the unit. Do not overtighten.3. Attach the bracket’s antenna cable to the unit’s antenna port.4. Screw the antenna into the bracket’s antenna port until snug. Do not overtighten.Antenna inserteddirectly into unitBracket attachedto unit and anteninserted intobracketAntenna bracketAntenna port

S320 Quick Reference Guide 5 PN 875-0281-000 Rev A1Connecting to a Power SourceThe S320 power cable has a two-pin circular connector at one end and two clamps at the other end (red clamp positive and black clamp negative).Note: The power cable is included with the two-unit base/rover kit; it is not included in the single-unit kit. See Table 1 on page 2 for more information on the parts included in each kit.Figure 4: Connecting the power cableTo connect the power cable:• Line up the red dot on the power cable end with the red dot on the power port and press into place.Note: Applying external power does not charge the Li-ion batteries in the battery trays. You must use a suitable battery charger to charge the batteries.Setting Up the UnitFigure 5 shows a typical setup for both a base station unit and a rover unit (tripod and pole mount not included, data collector optional).The antenna in Figure 5 is connected to the bottom of the unit; you have the option of attaching the antenna to the antenna bracket so the antenna faces upward. See “Attaching the Antenna” on page 4 for more information on attaching the antenna. Figure 5: Typical base and rover setupPower portPower cableendBase setup Rover setup

All the LEDs flash quickly to indicate the new firmware file is being committed to the receiver.e. After committing the new file to internal flash, the LEDs cycle from left to right one more time before resetting the receiver and returning to the heartbeat sequence.The upgrade is complete.

S320 Quick Reference Guide 19 PN 875-0281-000 Rev A1GSM FunctionalityThis section provides advanced GSM information that requires connection to a PC running either Hemisphere GPS’ PocketMax utility or a terminal program such as HyperTerminal.This section covers the following topics:• GSM overview•GSM modes• Configuring GSM for NTRIP• SMS messagingGSM OverviewGlobal System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is a network technology for mobile phone communications. The GSM modem in the S320 is what allows you to connect to a GSM carrier.The Access Point Name (APN) is a protocol that allows the S320 to access the internet using the mobile phone network. It is a configurable network identifier used when connecting to a GSM carrier. The default APNCFG value is "internet.com". The specific APN required by the S320 depends on your mobile carrier. Check with your mobile provider for details. GSM ModesThe GSM module operates in three modes:• IDLE - Default mode for the module. In this state, the GSM module only attempts to register on the network.• DIRECT IP - For users who have direct access to a server providing differential corrections.• NTRIP - Used to provide differential correction information to the GPS receiver.Configuring GSM for NTRIPNTRIP (Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol) is the protocol for transmitting GNSS data over the internet.Note: To configure NTRIP you must connect the S320 to a PC running either Hemisphere GPS’ PocketMax utility or a terminal program such as HyperTerminal.To configure NTRIP send the following command:$GSMCFG,NTRIP,[remote host name or IP address],[port number],[mount point name],[[username],[password]]where,• Remote host name - server name (such as www.igs-ip.net) or an IP address• Mount point name - caster stream name from NTRIP Caster Source Table (you can download a sample source table from http://www.igs-ip.net:2101/). If you leave this field blank, the S320 will fetch the caster source table and select the mount point closest to its current position.

S320 Quick Reference Guide 20 PN 875-0281-000 Rev A1• User name and password - authentication with a user name and password is required for most NTRIP casters. You can leave both blank to specify that no authentication is required. The user name and password are case sensitive.For example, to connect to the CALG0 stream on igs-ip.net send the following command:$GSMCFG,NRTIP,www.igs-ip.net,2101,CALG0,Usrnam,passwdConfiguring SMS MessagingThe S320 supports Short Message Service (SMS) configuration and event updates for both base and rover operations.Note: The GSM module must be powered on for SMS commands to work correctly.You can send SMS messages to the S320 from up to three numbers and these numbers must be added to S320 approved numbers list.Note: By default the approved numbers list is comprised of the first three entries in the SIM card address book. However, for a typical data-only SIM card, the address book of the SIM card will be empty.Adding or Overwriting a Number on the Approved Number ListYou can add a number to an empty slot or overwrite an existing number using the following command:$JSMS,CONFIG,[slot number 1/2/3],[number],[name],[status messages ON | OFF]For example, to add “Service” (999-555-1212) to slot 1 with status messages OFF (or to replace the current number in slot 1) send the following command:$JSMS,CONFIG,1,9995551212,Service,OFFThe status message state (ON or OFF) allows the S320 to send an SMS back to the number to report information and events on the operation of the unit. Displaying the Current List of Approved NumbersTo display the current list of approved numbers send the following command:$JSMS,CONFIGThe reply below contains all information on the configured numbers and may include SIM card address book defaults that you can overwrite with your own information.$>JSMS,CONFIG,1,1,9995551212,Service,OFFThe format of the reply is:$>JSMS,CONFIG,[number of approved numbers],[slot number 1/2/3],[number],[name],[status messages ON | OFF]Note: The reply contains one line for each number. For example, if there are two approved numbers then the reply will contain a “$>JSMS,CONFIG” line for each number.

No communication2. No valid data• (1) Check receiver power status • (2) Verify it is locked to a valid DGPS signal • (2) Verify that it is locked to 4 or more GPS satellites• (2) Check integrity and connectivity of power and data cable connections• Verify that the baud rate settings match• If trying to connect over Bluetooth, ensure Bluetooth module is powered ON and device is paired prior to opening the portRandom binary data from Eclipse OEM board• Verify that the RCTM or the Bin messages are not being accidentally output (send a $JSHOW command)• Verify that the baud rate settings match• Potentially, the volume of data requested to be output could be higher than the current baud rate supports. Try using a higher baud rate for communicationsRadio Internal/External • Verify antenna’s view of the sky, especially toward that SBAS satellites, south in the northern hemisphere• Verify the bit error rate (BER) and lock status of SBAS satellites (this can often be done on the receiving device or by using SLXMon - monitor BER value)• Verify that the proper application is running on the Eclipse (SBASRTKB)• Set the satellite selection to automatic mode $JFREQ,AUTO• Set the differential mode to $JDIFF,WAAS• Ensure there is SBAS coverage in your area
