IBSS Base setup using Works Manager [TCC not required]

By Simon Lightbody posted 10-12-2022 13:01

  

The following procedure describes how to set up and monitor a Trimble R750 Base as an Internet Base Station Service (IBSS) using Works Manager
This assumes the R750 has an internet connection (LTE, WiFi or Wired Ethernet)


Organization / Account

Select your Works Manager account

Open the Account Details to find the ‘Short Organization Name’. This is the TCC Organization for the R750 IBSS Server configuration.


Configure the R750 IBSS Server





Device Model must be R750 [Other GNSS models are also supported]

Serial Number must match in R750 and WM

Device Name in WM must be the same as TCC Device ID in R750

Password must be the same in R750 IBSS Server and WM


Multiple Correction Streams

The same R750 IBSS Base can be configured with up to 3 different correction streams (mountpoints) to support CMRx, CMR+ and RTCMv3


When Works Manager detects an incoming IBSS Server stream from a device registered in your account it will list it as an Internet Base Station Correction Stream.


The Reference Station - Station Name will be suffixed with ‘CMR’ for CMR+ or ‘RTCM3’ for RTCMv3 to create the different Correction Stream (mountpoint) names. 

No suffix is added for CMRx Correction Stream


Status Information

The current status, connected devices and a connection report are available.




Notifications

Email notifications can be set up using the Network Configuration tab in the R750 web UI.

This linked sheet details the DDNS setup for using NTRIP Caster. Once you have set up the DDNS account and your service provider has allocated a public routable IP address then you can use the DNS Hostname for remote connection from a browser.
We have not tested extensively with LTE service providers and various SIMs. We advise dealers to test with local SIMs to find one that works best for their customers.

Hi Simon,
your guide is very helpfull! two questions for you. Problem: access to WebUI remotly. Can you add a brief guide step-by-step using dynDNS or another service? Is it possible to use a M2M sim, like vodafone for example, through their bidirectional apn? And if yes, can you explain it?
thanks
