Note: 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.

GSM Functionality

This 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 messaging

GSM Overview

Global 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 Modes

The 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 NTRIP

NTRIP (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 19 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,passwd

Configuring SMS Messaging

The 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 List

You 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,OFF

The 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 Numbers

To display the current list of approved numbers send the following command:

$JSMS,CONFIG

The 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,OFF

The 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.

S320 Quick Reference Guide 20 PN 875-0281-000 Rev A1

Deleting a Number from the Approved Number List

To delete a number from the approved number list, send the following command:

$JSMS,CONFIG,[1/2/3 or keyword ALL],DELETE

For example, to delete the number in slot 2 send the following command:

$JSMS,CONFIG,2,DELETE

And to delete all numbers from the list, send the following command:

$JSMS,CONFIG,ALL,DELETE

Sending an SMS Message to an Approved Number

To send an SMS message to an approved number, send the following command:

$JSMS,SEND,[name or phone number or slot number],[message]

For example, to send a “This is a test” message to Customer Support (phone number

480-348-9919, slot number 2) you can send either of the following commands:

$JSMS,SEND,SERVICE,This is a test

$JSMS,SEND,4803489919,This is a test

$JSMS,SEND,2,This is a test

Note: For more information on SMS capabilities, refer to the S320 User Guide

available from the Hemisphere GPS website at www.hemispheregps.com

• External Power is low

• Check charge on external battery and the fuse on the power cable if applicable

• Internal Power: Check charge on internal batteries

• Check all power cables and pins

• Try other batteries or cables

• Make sure to hold the power button down for a minimum of one full second to turn on

• Ensure batteries are installed with contacts pointed in the correct direction

• (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 port

• 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 communications

• 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
