Quick Start Guide for GeoBee30
!
Note: David30 GNSS receiver and Ntrip Modem TR600 are configured well before
shipping. Please set up the system according to Chapter 1, David and Ntrip Modem
TR600 are ready to work normally after power on.

Note:
1) There are two configuration modes for GeoBee30. GeoBee30 system is configure-free if customer adopts
GeoCaster provided by Tersus GNSS Inc., as GeoBee30 is pre-configured when shipped out of factory.
GeoBee30 system needs to be configured if customers demand to set up caster by themselves. This quick
start is to introduce the first mode – using Tersus GeoCaster service.
2) David30 GNSS receiver uploads RTCM stream to the NTRIP caster using Ethernet (default) or Wi-Fi or
2G/3G/4G sorted by priority. For Ntrip Modem TR600, Wi-Fi client and Wi-Fi hotspot are both supported,
however they cannot be enabled simultaneously. Wi-Fi client function is to use Wi-Fi connection to
communicate with caster. Wi-Fi hotspot function is to share internet connection to other devices.
3) Place the antenna (AX4E02 in the Figure 1) in the outdoor open environment. Install Wi-Fi antenna when
Wi-Fi connection is available for communication. Install 4G antenna when 2G/3G/4G SIM card is used for
communication.
4) GeoBee30 starts to work in auto start mode by default once it is powered up. According to the autonomous
positioning (without RTK or DGPS), it smoothes out the average value to be the base coordinate.
GeoBee30 outputs the RTCM32 corrections data and sends to the Ntrip server through LAN, WIFI or
2G/3G/4G mobile network.
5) For the known phase center coordinates of the AX4E02 antenna, the two configuration methods are as
follows:
a. Use the COMM1-Bluetooth module in the package, unplug the COMM1 cable and insert the Bluetooth
module to the COMM1 port of David30 GNSS receiver. Launch Nuwa app on an android device,
connect David30 by paring Bluetooth. Create a base configuration with manual start in radio mode1, fill
in the base coordinates, antenna height and Ntrip network information. Detailed operation refers to
User Manual for David30 GNSS Receiver. After completing the configuration, disconnect the Bluetooth
connection, disconnect the Bluetooth module and connect back the COMM1 cable.
Figure 2 Configure David30 using Nuwa app
Note1: Use Radio Mode in Nuwa when configuring GeoBee30. Because the external radio and TR600
are both external data link, the principal is the same (log the data from David30 to external data link).

b. Use the ‘DB9 Female to USB Type A Male converter cable’ to connect the COMM1 cable in Figure 1
and a computer, open Tersus GNSS Center application on the computer, and type below commands in
the command window:
UNLOGALL //remove all logs
UNDULATION USER 0.0 //Set user specified undulation value for ellipsoid height2
FIX POSITION B L H // B: latitude (degree), L: longitude (degree), H: height (m)
For example: FIX POSITION 31.24523012 121.58922341 40.35
or POSAVE ON 0.02 //Turn on position average for 0.02 hour (72s)
LOG COM2 RTCM1006 ONTIME 10 //output the base coordinate
LOG COM2 RTCM1074 ONTIME 1 //output GPS observations
LOG COM2 RTCM1084 ONTIME 1 //output GLONASS observations
LOG COM2 RTCM1094 ONTIME 1 //output Galileo observations
LOG COM2 RTCM1114 ONTIME 1 //output QZSS observations
LOG COM2 RTCM1124 ONTIME 1 //output BeiDou observations
LOG COM2 RTCM1230 ONTIME 10 //output GLONASS bias information
LOG COM2 RTCM1033 ONTIME 10 //output antenna, receiver information
(Below commands output ephemerides, not default configuration)
LOG COM2 RTCM1019 ONTIME 5 //GPS ephemerides
LOG COM2 RTCM1020 ONTIME 5 //GLONASS ephemerides
LOG COM2 RTCM1042 ONTIME 5 //BeiDou ephemerides
LOG COM2 RTCM1044 ONTIME 5 //QZSS ephemerides
LOG COM2 RTCM1046 ONTIME 5 //Galileo ephemerides
SAVECONFIG //save configuration
Note2: If customer needs to use global geoidal height model EGM96 for mean sea level height, type
below command to replace the undulation command above.
UNDULATION EGM96 //Set EGM96 geoidal height model
More details about logs and commands refer to BX40C log & Command document.
Power cycle the receiver or input RESET command to make the above configuration effective.
6) The known phase center coordinates of the AX4E02 antenna can be obtained from surveying and mapping
department of local government, or calculated from commercial software such as Bernese or Gamit.
2. Status Check
2.1 Check the status of Ntrip Modem TR600
The number of signal lights on determines the signal strength of 2G/3G/4G mobile network. When using
Ethernet to access to the Ntrip server, the signal lights are off. The PWR is steady red to indicate GeoBee30 is
powered normally, ERR is off to indicate GeoBee30 is not at abnormal state. The NET is steady green to
indicate that it is connected to Internet. The SVR1 is steady green to indicate that it is connected to the Ntrip
Caster normally. The SVR2 is steady green to indicate that it is connected to the mserver (a remote control
terminal) normally. The LAN1 is steady green to indicate that the Ethernet connection is normal.
2.2 Check link status using browser
Open any browser on your computer (accessible to the Internet) and enter the following URL in the address bar:
