Connecting to a Real Time GNSS Network with TopSURV

  • Using a Topcon GRS-1 receiver, there are two ways to begin

working within a Real Time GNSS Network:

– Internet Connection within TopSURV using a Survey Configuration – Internet Connection prior to TopSURV using TPS Connection Manager

  • Pick which method you want to use dependant on whether you want

to send / receive data files outside of TopSURV.

Internet Connection within TopSURV Internet Connection within TopSURV

Connecting to a Real Time GNSS Network with TopSURV

  • Following the instructions within your Survey Configuration,

TopSURV will automatically:

– Power on the internal modem OR start Bluetooth connection to an external cell phone – Send commands to the modem to connect to the Internet – Connect to your Real Time GNSS Network server – Use the same Mount Point that was used last

  • Once field work is completed and if TopSURV

is closed, the modem will also automatically be shut down. Same as above, but in reverse

  • rder.

  • Using this method, you will not be able to instantly surf the

Internet once TopSURV is closed.

  • You will have to start a new Internet connection with TPS

Connection Manager.

  • The following screen captures show the process of creating a

Survey Configuration that supports the method of having TopSURV:

– Power on internal modem or open Bluetooth port to an external cell phone – Send command to modem / cell phone to begin connection to the Internet – Connect to GNSS Network Server – Send NTRIP User Name and Password – Automatically connect to last Mount Point used

  • Tap the Add button to create a new Survey Configuration.
  • The name of your Survey Configuration is optional, It is common to

declare a name that includes hardware type and field work that it

  • supports. For this example, the Survey Configuration is named

GRS-1 Network.

  • If using an external antenna, ensure to declare so.

  • Using a GRS-1 receiver, the Modem Connect option is Controller.
  • However, the Network Type pull down menu allows you to specify which

method that an Internet connection will be made and used.

  • Using the GRS-1 Dialup Connection option will have TopSURV

automatically power the internal modem on (or connect via Bluetooth to external cell phone) and connect to the Internet.

  • The Provider pull down menu offers the ability to quickly populate unique

dial up parameters for supported GSM networks. Available in this list are the Internet connection settings for Cingular, T-Mobile, and AT&T wireless networks.

  • For a GRS-1 receiver, the Virtual Radio Port is D (delta).
  • All other Survey Configuration options after this screen are user definable.

Shown above are commonly used settings.

  • The Satellite System pull down menu allows you to declare if you want to

track and use either GPS satellites only or GPS + GLONASS.

  • This is dependant on whether the Real Time GNSS Network that you are

being hosted by is also tracks and uses both satellite constellations.

  • Before opening TopSURV, use TPS Connection Manager to:

– Power on the internal modem OR start Bluetooth connection to an external cell phone – Send commands to the modem to connect to the Internet

  • You now have ability to send / receive e-mail, view position or get

driving directions with Google Maps, etc.

  • With an Internet connection established using

TPS Connection Manager prior to opening TopSURV, you simply need to use a Survey Configuration to support this method.

  • Using this method, you will are able to surf the

Internet outside of TopSURV.

  • Using the Existing Network Connection option will have TopSURV use

the Internet connection that you already started with TPS Connection Manager before opening the data collection software.

  • While making a connection to a Real Time GNSS Network with a

Topcon GRS-1 receiver, you have two options:

– Internet Connection within TopSURV using a Survey Configuration – Internet Connection prior to TopSURV using TPS Connection Manager

  • Time wise, it is pretty much the same thing.

What is the Process of Connecting? What is the Process of Connecting?

Connecting to a Real Time GNSS Network with TopSURV

  • Once on the Internet, the next step in the process is to connect to

the public Internet Protocol (IP) Address and Port Number of the Real Time GNSS Network server that you are using.

  • Afterwards, the NTRIP User Name and Password will be sent from

you to the server.

  • If the User Name and Password are correct and current, then the

Real Time GNSS Network server will begin sending your rover receiver corrections.

How do I Input IP Address and Port Number How do I Input IP Address and Port Number Information into TopSURV? Information into TopSURV?

Connecting to a Real Time GNSS Network with TopSURV

GNSS Network Server

  • Once the rover receiver has an Internet

connection, in order to become a member

  • f a Real Time GNSS Network, you will

need to know the:

– Internet Protocol (IP) Address – Port Number

  • …of the Real Time GNSS Server that you

are working with.

  • A sample of entering an IP Address and

Port number into a TopSURV Survey Configuration is:

  • Make sure the slash ( / ) is correct.

What is a Mount Point? What is a Mount Point?

Connecting to a Real Time GNSS Network with TopSURV

  • Type of Correction Service:

– Real Time Kinematic (RTK) – Single vector from nearest reference station to the rover. Survey grade solution. – Network RTK (NetRTK) – Data from all reference stations are used to create a virtual base station near the rover. Survey grade solution. – Differential GPS (DGPS) – Ideal for hand held or back pack receivers to achieve sub-foot solutions in real time.

  • Correction Format:

– Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM) – Compact Measurement Record (CMR+)

Mount Points

Sample Mount Point Name = NetRTK_RTCM3 Definition of Mount Point Name = Type of Service ; Correction Format

  • Once you are connected to the GNSS Network server, you then need to

specify which correction service that you want from it.

What is NTRIP? What is NTRIP?

Connecting to a Real Time GNSS Network with TopSURV

  • NTRIP is an acronym for Networked

Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol.

  • When you think of NTRIP, think of

security.

  • Your NTRIP User Name and Password

is issued to you by your GNSS Network Manager.

  • It is a method of controlling who is on

the network, when, and where.

What Happens if there is Poor Cell Coverage? What Happens if there is Poor Cell Coverage?

Connecting to a Real Time GNSS Network with TopSURV

  • The rover receiver must be able to receive corrections from the

base / reference station. If the rover receiver is not able to receive corrections, you will have an Autonomous Position solution type.

  • If the project area does not have cell phone coverage, that would be

an ideal place for a mobile base receiver with a broadcasting radio.

Connecting to a Real Time GNSS Network with TopSURV

  • Once you have connected to a Mount Point, the first thing to do is

check that the rover receiver is getting corrections. You will want to check it’s Status.

  • From the TopSURV main menu, go to Setup GPS / Status.
  • Tap the System tab at bottom of the screen.

Connecting to a Real Time GNSS Network with TopSURV

  • Look at your Radio Link indicator. The rover should have 100% reception

within your cell phone network.

  • As soon as the rover has 100% Radio Link, it’s Position Type will change

to Float.

  • Once Initialized Satellites count is five or greater, the receiver’s Position

Type will update to Fixed.
