Stonex S700A GNSS Receiver –User Manual 3
Introduction
This document is user guide for S700A and it is intended to introduce how to
use the receiver correctly.
S700A GNSS receiver is a multiple-frequency receiver and designed for GNSS
surveying applications. It is available as a base station, or as a standalone
rover, which can be switched freely whenever and wherever, offering
maximum versatility in the system configuration to meet your specific
requirements. S700A is the entry level RTK GNSS receiver; it’s smaller and
lighter than the S900 series and it’s available with only L1 GNSS upgradeable
to L2+L3. At the same time, S700A receiver can upgrade easily to continually
meet your new demand.
The integrated design of the receiver makes the S700A only 1.1 kg, which is
light and portable. The internal antenna supports all the satellite systems:
GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, , QZSS, IRNSS. And users no longer have to
worry about upgrading RTK hardware to support other satellite systems.
An important feature inside S700A is Atlas reception: Atlas is a differential
corrections systems broadcasted on L-Band, allowing increase in position
accuracy in area not covered by conventional CORS working under Ntrip
Technology (lack of reference stations, lack of GPRS signals, etc). Atlas is
broadcasted by satellite systems, so the reception is nearly ensured all over
the world. Atlas uses similar technology compared to SBAS, but providing
better positioning accuracy.
Another important feature is the new modem GSM. Worldwide LTE,
UMTS/HSPA+ and GSM/GPRS/EDGE coverage Multi-constellation GNSS
receiver available for applications requiring fast and accurate fixes in any
environment. EG25-G is backward-compatible with existing EDGE and
GSM/GPRS networks, ensuring that it can be connected even in remote areas
devoid of 4G or 3G coverage.
*Atlas&aRTK features are avalable only with L1+L2 version.

2. Web Interface
S700A receiver has Web UI functionality. By getting access to its internal
hotspot, you can easily manage it on the Web UI. As long as you have a
smart phone, PC or handheld with WIFI functionality, you can easily connect
to the S700A receiver to view status, download data and configure the
receiver.
S700A receiver is default to open WIFI automatically when it’s powered on.
Use smart phone/PC/handheld to search the receiver hotspot, whose name is
its serial number, and connect it. Receiver WIFI only supports getting access
to Web UI to check status and set up mode, not for Internet connection.
The WIFI hotspot name is the serial number of the receiver.
Enter the IP address: 192.168.10.1. A window will pop up when the user log
in, which need to fill in the user, that is “admin”, and password that is
“password”.
2.1 Status
The status page displays the current state of S700A receiver, including
position information, data link status, satellite charts, and instrumentation
information. Click on a module to display its details.
2.2 Settings
The Settings page includes working mode, satellite Settings, device
configuration, NMEA messages, view logs, and configuration sets. You can
set the host mode, satellite system, system parameters, and NMEA message.
And you can view and download the logs as well. Also you could upload,
download, delete and apply the related configuration. Click on a module to
display its details.

2.2.1 Working mode
You can select different work mode to configure, static, rover and base. In
different mode, there are different configuration you can make.
Static Mode
It’s possible input the point name, antenna height, PDOP threshold. And the
antenna measurement and collect interval. These are all the parameters can
be used in static collection.
At last, there are two record options. If you activate auto record, it will collect
data automatic when you power on the receiver.
Rover Mode
In rover mode, you can select different datalink. Different datalink also has
different options can be edited. The datalink includes Network, External and
Bluetooth.
If you select Network, then besides select aRTK timeout and record raw data,
the most important is you can input CORS information, such as IP, account.
If you select External, then it can connect to external radio. There is a very
important thing, the external serial port band rate, this should be same with
external radio.
Then the last it’s Bluetooth, after selecting the datalink as Bluetooth, there
are little option that you can configure.
Base Mode
Base mode also contains different datalink, most of the parameters are same.
The only difference is the base mode has some more options can be edited.
For example you can set the base data type, start base and base position and
so on.
If you select Network, then besides set the data type, site ID, base position
and record raw data, the most important is you can input APN account, APN
user and password, connect mode, caster address and port.

prompted “power off”. Then short-press the power button to confirm power
off.
3.3 Model view and switch
Model view
When receiver is powered on, short press the power button and then it will
voice broadcast the current working mode and data link.
Model switch
When the receiver is powered on, connect it with handheld or other
instruments so as to set up and switch the working mode of receiver.
3.4 Receiver self-check
Self-check functionality is to check whether every module works normally.
When S700A receiver has indicators off or module doesn’t work normally,
you can use self-check to inspect the receiver. S700A self-check consists of
six parts, namely GNSS, network, WIFI and Bluetooth. The self-check results
will be voice broadcasted in the process. Self-check operation and result
broadcast are as followed:

Stonex S700A GNSS Receiver –User Manual 13
When receiver is powered on, press power button and hold it until the
receiver voice broadcasts “power off”. Press it again until the receiver sounds
a beep and voice broadcasts “self-check”, which means the receiver starts to
operate self-check. New receiver is recommended to operate self-check at
least once.
In the process of self-check, each module inspection is followed by its
inspection result. If the module inspection passes, it will voice broadcast “OK”
and module led keeps on until the whole self-check finishes. If the module
inspection fails, it will voice broadcast current module inspection fail, keep
module led flashing and buzzer sounding until you restart the receiver. Self-
check lasts for about 1 minute. If there is self-check failure, please contact
local dealer.
If every module indicator is lit with no flashing, and voice broadcast says
every module work normally (such as “GPS self-check. OK.”), it means all the
modules work normally. Receiver starts to work after the whole self-check
finishes
3.5 Insert SIM card
If you need to use the SIM card, you should insert the SIM card before you
power on the S700A; open the card cover first, then insert the SIM card as
the notes in card cover.
