Introduction to ProFlex 800 CORS Configuration
Introductory Notes This section more particularly focuses on how to successfully
configure the ProFlex 800 CORS using the ProFlex Web
Server. A few status screens are also presented.
It is assumed that you have all the information needed
1
to
perform an IP connection from your computer to the ProFlex
800 CORS. This also implies that the Ethernet port is used
on the receiver side, and you can run the receiver’s embedded
ProFlex Web Server from a web browser (Microsoft Internet
Explorer, Mozilla FireFox, etc.) installed on your computer.
Note: If you need more information about how to make an IP
connection to the receiver and run the Web Server from a local or
remote computer, please refer to the ProFlex 800 Reference Manual.
The ProFlex 800 Reference Manual also includes an exhaustive
description of the status screens.
The specific functions expected from a CORS station such as
the ProFlex 800 CORS are to generate, convert, sort and
distribute raw data files of preset duration (typically one
hour). Raw data files may be delivered in native (ATOM) or
Rinex format and also include meteo/tilt data from external
sensors connected to the station.
Typically, raw data files are made available to users via an FTP
server to which ProFlex 800 CORS automatically pushes the
files as they are created. A second server can be set up as a
backup FTP server.
While ensuring these primary functions, and like any Spectra
Precision ProFlex 800 base, the ProFlex 800 CORS station
can also provide real-time RTK corrections in different
formats (ATOM, RTCM, CMR, DBEN) and through different
means (Internet, radio, GSM modem), including the
embedded NTRIP caster.
The different steps to learn how to configure a ProFlex 800
CORS station using the ProFlex Web Server may therefore be
summarized as follows:
1. First steps with the ProFlex Web Server: Opening the
ProFlex Web Server Home page to read the information
identifying the receiver your computer is connected to.
Then opening the
Status tab to read receiver status
information on the ever displayed Status bar.
1.CORS station IP address, administrator login and password.
