Section 2 - Serial connection
The C-Nav3050® GNSS receiver can be connected directly to a C-NaviGator III
using the supplied Y-Cable, Positronic 9-Pin Male to Ethernet RJ45 Plug & DB9S
(RS-232/1PPS) (P/N 94-310272-3006LFB) Or the alternative Y-Cable Positronic
9-Pin to USB & DB9(P/N NAV94-310273-3006LF C).
For full functionality the Green Y-cable with the RJ45 header should be
connected to COM1 and the Red Y-Cable with USB header is used with COM2.
Once these cables are attached to the C-Nav unit you then can pick either cable
to control the unit and connect it to the serial connection on the C-NaviGator II.

Section 3 - USB connection
The C-Nav3050® GNSS receiver can be connected directly to a C-NaviGator III
via USB using the supplied Positronic 9-Pin to USB & DB9(P/N NAV94-310273-
3006LF C).
The Red Y-Cable with USB header must be connected to COM2 for the USB
connection to be possible.
The only other consideration before attempting connection via USB is to make
sure the USB mode is set to “Serial”; any other USB modes will not allow you to
control the unit via USB with the C-NaviGator.
To check the current USB mode connect via Serial first following Section 2 -
Serial connection (Page 8) then go to the menu at:
Menu / Settings / Port X 3050 / more / Hardware Settings
If the USB mode is currently set to “Serial Port” then nothing needs to be
changed, if however it is not please change this value to “Serial Port” and press
Apply.
