[. . . ] Port 2 is a DB-9 male connector that allows for full 9-pin RS-232 communications. For more information on default port settings, see Default receiver settings. The TNC port connector is for connecting a radio antenna to the receiver internal radio. A whip "rubber duck" antenna is supplied with the system for units with internal UHF or 900 MHz radios. This connector is not used if you are using an external radio receiver. For longer range operation (to provide higher gain and to raise the antenna higher above the ground), you can use a cable to connect an external radio antenna to the TNC port. For more information on connecting the Smart GNSS antenna, see Connecting to external devices. SPS882 Smart GNSS Antenna Getting Started Guide 13 Front Panel Guide Power button operations The receiver has only one button, the Power button: . Press to switch the receiver on or off, and to perform other functions, as described as follows: Action Turn on the receiver Turn off the receiver Delete the ephemeris file Delete application files Power button Press Hold for 2 seconds Hold for 15 seconds Hold for 30 seconds Reset the receiver to factory defaults Hold for 15 seconds Note ­ The term "press" means to press the button and release it immediately. The term "hold" means to press the button and hold it down for the given time. LED behavior The three LEDs on the front panel indicate various operating conditions. Generally, a lit or slowly flashing LED indicates normal operation, a LED that is flashing quickly indicates a condition that may require attention, and an unlit LED indicates that no operation is occurring. alternates rapidly on/off for 100 milliseconds is lit steady is unlit LED flash patterns The following table details the possible flash patterns to indicate various states of receiver operation.

The default application file, Default. cfg, is stored permanently in the receiver, and contains the factory default settings. Whenever the receiver is reset to its factory defaults, the current settings (stored in the current application file, Current. cfg) are reset to the values in the default application file. However, you can create a power-up application file so that the settings in this file can be applied immediately after the default application file, overriding the factory defaults. For more information, see Configuring the receiver using application files. Default receiver settings These settings are defined in the default application file.

SPS882 Smart GNSS Antenna Getting Started Guide 15 For more information on the GPS Configurator and Configuration Toolbox software, see Configuring the Receiver Settings. Default behavior If a power-up application file is present in the receiver, its settings are applied immediately after the default settings. This means you can use a power-up file to define your own set of defaults. The factory defaults are also applied when you perform a full reset of the receiver because resetting the receiver deletes the power-up files. When starting any of the SPS receivers as a base station or rover receiver using the Trimble SCS900 site controller software or the HYDROpro software, the settings required for those operations are automatically set and configured in that software. To change the receiver settings for special applications or for use with third-party software, use the GPS Configurator software or the Configuration Toolbox software. Logging data Data logging involves the collection of GPS measurement data over a period of time at a static point or points, and subsequent postprocessing of the information to accurately compute baseline information. Data logging using receivers requires access to suitable GPS postprocessing software such as the Trimble Business Center software. Postprocessed GPS data is typically used for control network measurement applications and precise monitoring. [. . . ] A real-time differential GPS method that uses carrier phase measurements for greater accuracy. SBAS is based on differential GPS, but applies to wide area (WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS) networks of reference stations. Corrections and additional information are broadcast using geostationary satellites. The signal strength of a satellite is a measure of the information content of the signal, relative to the signal's noise. [. . . ]
