Recently, I've been trying to connect to an RTN using the NTRIP option under the RTK tab in the rover equipment settings. I'm using a bluetooth cell phone as a modem to connect my TDS Recon data collector to the internet. At first, I was using bluetooth on both the cell phone and the GPS rover, but received an autonomous position every time. I spoke with a technician that told me to connect my data collector to the rover with a cable instead. I did so and my settings are as follows:
Comms Tab
Type: Cable
Port: COM 2
Baud: 115200
Parity: None
Data: 8
Stop: 1
RTK Tab
Device: Data Collector Internet
Network: Ntrip
Port: COM 2
Baud: 115200
Now, I can change the Port under the RTK tab to COM 1 and still get the same error message whenever I click the green check. It tries to open the port and then reads 'Unable to establish link with device.' When I click to see more details it reads:
Connection not available
Unable to open COM 2
The specified network resource or device is no longer available.
Any idea as to why it's not picking up the port? My data collector can run the internet browser so I know it's not that. Can't think of too much more, thanks for any help in advance.
