NavCom StarFire over IP - Manual

Applications Note – StarFire Over IP Setup
Rev. A December, 2012
Overview
This guide will instruct the user to access the StarFire Over IP (SFOIP) protocol via
FieldGenius software installed on the Handheld unit available through the LAND-PAK system.
The StarFire Over IP network consists of two independent StarFire servers/casters which can
be accessed through four mount points from two different locations. A choice of three data
delivery rates ensures maximum reliability. This connection can be made via a cellular phone
modem from the handheld unit.
FieldGenius offers a way of accessing the StarFire Over IP system directly from the handheld
unit. The unit can be programmed to automatically access the StarFire Over IP casters
thereby increasing the accuracy of the points location.
