3ReACT D5 Model – Functionality Notice
3.1 Important Functionality Note
The FSL ReACT D5 model utilizes an internal connection to the GNSS COM2 port. Therefore, any
commands sent through GPS COM1 or GPS COM3 that will affect the COM2 configuration could
reduce functionality.
When connected to either GPS com port the following commands should be avoided.
UNLOGALL
If UNLOGALL is sent to a GPS com port it will stop the output of commands on all GPS com ports and
all of the EDGE com ports.
UNLOG
If UNLOG is sent to a GPS com port it will stop the output of the specific log command on all GPS
com ports and all the EDGE com ports. If using this command, ensure either COM1 or COM3 is
specified.
COM COM2 or SERIALCONFIG COM2
GPS COM2 has been specifically configured for communicating with the FS-D5 and changing the
baud rate of GPS COM2 will disable communications between the micro and the GPS receiver and
therefore the micro com ports will no longer function.
FRESET / RESET
These commands will reset the GPS receiver to its original state and will disable communications
between the micro and the GPS receiver and therefore the micro com ports will no longer function.
A power cycle will recover the unit and allow the FS-D5 to reconfigure the receiver.
Please reference document A0072-09-0067 ReACT D5 Installation Manual for details on ReACT D5
EDGE-WARE firmware.
3.2 Reconfiguring COM2
Functionality can be retained using either of the methods outlined below.
Reconfigure COM2
Connect to GPS COM1 through a PC running Text Terminal Software and send the following
commands to the unit.
SERIALCONFIG COM2 9600 8 N 1 N OFF ON
INTERFACEMODE COM2 NOVATEL NOVATEL OFF
SAVECONFIG
Power cycle
If SAVECONFIG has not been applied, remove power from the ReACT unit by removing the connector
plug and ensure that the unit is off, then re-apply power. The unit will configure itself for full
functionality.

4Introduction
4.1 Scope
This manual provides the information required for installation and operation of the ReACT GNSS
system. The ReACT can be fitted with multiple GNSS receiver options and therefore an
accompanying manual will be provided for specific receiver operation.
4.2 ReACT Overview
The Forsberg Services Ltd (FSL) ReACT (Receiver Antenna Compact Technology) is a compact, rugged
enclosure including a high quality GNSS receiver, antenna and optional DSP module. ReACT has
been designed for compatibility with NovAtel’s OEMStar, OEM719 and legacy OEM615 GNSS
receivers. This family of receivers offer a range of functionality that can be controlled through
firmware upgrades. The antenna fitted inside the system will be tuned for use with, GPS L1 and
GLONASS L1 (R) or GPS L1/L2, GLONASS G1/G2/G3, BeiDou B1/B2 and Galileo E1/E5b (Q). This
option is controlled through hardware and is non-upgradeable in the field. Further information
about the two different antenna models can be found in the appendix.
The unit is available in three model types:
4.3 ReACT NS
The NS model combines a GNSS receiver and antenna into a single enclosure.
This model provides direct comms to the GNSS receiver. A metal 19 pin Fischer
connector is provided for access to I/O. FSL provide various cable options with
the system.
Note: Selecting the OEMSTAR as the receiver will disable Event-In and COM3.

4.4 ReACT NSc
The NSc model provides the same functionality as the NS with a centre mount
cable. A metal 19 pin Fischer connector is provided for access to I/O.
Note: Selecting the OEMSTAR as the receiver will disable Event-In and COM3.

4.5 ReACT D5
The D5 model is the enhanced model of the ReACT by combining a GNSS receiver and antenna with
our FS-D5 processor module. This provides enhanced functionality and additional I/O through our
range of EDGE-WARE products. A metal 19-pin Fischer connector is provided for access to I/O. FSL
provide various cable options with the system.
Note: Selecting the OEMSTAR as the receiver will disable Event-In and COM3.

4.6 EDGE-WARE
The ReACT D5 model is capable of running EDGE-WARE, a firmware product developed by FSL. This
firmware provides additional functionality and I/O. More details of the EDGE-WARE functionality and
modules are provided later in this document.
4.7 Included with the ReACT
The ReACT system comes with:
1 x ReACT GNSS System
1 x USB drive with
1 x ReACT Manual
1 x NovAtel GNSS Firmware Manual and access to on-line OEM7 user manuals
(https://docs.novatel.com/oem7/Content/Home.htm).
Due to the range of applications and bespoke requirements the ReACT NS and D5 are supplied with
an I/O cable. This may be ordered separately and can be provided as a terminated cable or with
flying leads. The standard cable versions are available either with a straight or right-angled Fischer
connector.
