3. Operation
3.1 Power ON/OFF
SC400A will turn on automatically after connecting the 2-pin power cable and receiving power.
After switching on, the indicators will show the status of the device. For example, the power indicator will turn green.
SC400A shuts down if not connected to power.
3.2 Connect External accessories
To work the SC400A needs to connect to the external antenna, you can connect the external antenna to the GNSS port.

4. Web UI
SC400A has the WEB interface function, you can connect to the SC400A’s Wi-Fi, enter the WEB interface and view device
information, and set up it. The Wi-Fi hotspot name is the serial number of the receiver.
In the browser window enter the IP address: 192.168.10.1. This address will open the user registration page (shown below),
in which you need to fill in the username and password. For the first registration you can use the login data shown below.
You will be able to change the password after your first login.
Username: admin
Password: password
After authentication, it will be possible to see the name of the instrument and the list of available commands (below picture).
The commands are shown and analyzed in the following paragraphs.

October 2021 –Ver. 1 Stonex SC400A CORS Receiver –User Manual 14
4.1 Summary and System Information
Summary command does not have submenus. The System command has 3 submenus: System Information, GPS status, and
Satellites, which will be explained below.
The first two pages of the Summary and System Information command give information about the device and its operation.
The other pages are dedicated to configuration. Each configuration page has the Submit and Reload buttons at the bottom:
no change is effective if the Submit button is not pressed. Reload is used to reload the page with the last saved values
4.1.1 Summary
As shown in the figure below, the Summary reports general information about the Station.
4.1.2 System Information
In System information page the information is divided into blocks, starting from the top we find the name of the station,
expiration date and since it has been in operation. Next, we find information on the model of the device and its serial
number as well as the model of the GNSS and its serial number. Below we find information on the position, GNSS status
and time. After we find a section dedicated to information on the memory. Finally, we have the information on power
supply.

4.1.3 GPS Status
Status page displays the current SC400A positioning state, the base station coordinates and antenna type, height, and
measurement mode.

October 2021 –Ver. 1 Stonex SC400A CORS Receiver –User Manual 16
4.1.4 Satellites
In this page you can choose what to display. By selecting the option at the top, you will see the list of satellites, or the sky
plot (both screens in the figures below). In the satellites table the different colors show used satellites (green) and tracked
(white).

4.1.5 Map
On this page you can see the position of the station on the map.

4.2 Reference Station
This command is for the GNSS station configuration and consists of site information, antenna and coordinates. It is made
up of 3 subcommands: Reference Station, GNSS Configuration, Tracking Satellites.
4.2.1 Reference Station
This is a very important page if the device is used as base. If, on the other hand, it is used as rover, it is enough to set the
type of antenna.
Here you can enter information about the station, number of receivers and you can enter settings about the time zone,
country, web server protocol and HTTP server port. The second block of information refers to the antenna. You can select
the antenna from those available (or upload new ones). You can read the antenna’s serial number, and the values relating
to the chosen antenna. Below is the information about working mode. Lastly, you can find the block of information about
the station coordinates. The coordinates can be entered manually (as geodetic coordinates or Cartesian coordinates), or if
there are no known coordinates, the current position of the instrument can be loaded. It is possible to enter the height of
the point on the ground, the antenna height, and its measurement mode. Measurement mode indicates whether the
coordinates are referred to the phase center or to the ground. If they refer to the ground, any height from the ground can
be indicated in the antenna height field. These settings are reflected in the recorded files (see Recording menu) and in the
coordinates transmitted by the base (See NTRIP server menu).
