The NTRIP Modem does not technically require installation media, but for normal operation it does require:
- Internet access to an NTRIP correction service
- NTRIP service credentials (from an NTRIP provider)
To configure the modem you will typically need to provide the following information:
- NTRIP caster address
- port number
- mountpoint
- username/password (if required)
The NTRIP Modem requires an Internet connection to receive GNSS correction data from an NTRIP caster. The modem must be able to reach the configured NTRIP caster server over the internet.
Internet connectivity can be provided using one of the following methods:
The modem can connect directly to a mobile network using the internal LTE modem. This requires a compatible SIM card with an active data plan and a cellular antenna.
The modem can connect to an external 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network or mobile hotspot to obtain internet access.
When you have configured the network connectivity, the modem can connect to the configured NTRIP caster and begin receiving RTCM correction messages.
You can find more information about the configuration access details and the network setup instructions on the Configuration page.
When power is applied:
- The modem display shows:
- Racelogic/VBOX logos
- the unit's serial number
- the firmware version installed on the unit
- The modem automatically starts a Wi-Fi access point for configuration.
- The device screen begins displaying status information across multiple screens, including:
- GNSS receiver fix status
- RTK correction age
- Wi-Fi network name
- correction data received
- configuration IP address
- The next step is to:
- connect to the modem Wi-Fi access point
- open the web interface
- configure the network settings
- configure the NTRIP caster details
- When you have configured the modem, it will connect to the network and begin receiving RTCM correction data.
Follow the Quick Start Guide to configure network connectivity and connect to an NTRIP correction service.
