Guidelines for Configuring a VRS Rover in Trimble Survey Controller using a Samsung Sync Bluetooth Phone with ATT/Cingular Service

1)  These guidelines are specific to the Samsung Sync phone. However, the general procedures should be the same with any Bluetooth phone that supports Dial-Up Networking

2)  The commands listed are for ATT/Cingular in Louisiana and will vary from provider to provider and state to state.

3)  These instructions refer to screens in Survey Controller as they appear in v.12.10. There may be differences depending on the version you are running.

Step 1: Set up an Internet Connection with the Samsung Sync

1)  Exit Survey Controller to the Windows Mobile main screen

2)  Select Start, then Settings; pick the Connections tab at the bottom; pick Connections; pick Manage Existing Connections under My ISP

3)  Pick New…; enter a name for the connection (e.g. Cingular GPRS); under Select a modem: choose Bluetooth. This will bring up the My Connections Bluetooth Device Manager.

4)  On the phone – go into Settings, Bluetooth; make sure that Bluetooth is turned on and that the phone is visible (discoverable) to other devices.

5)  On the TSC2, select New Partnership. The data collector should search and should find the phone. Select the phone and pick Next. The TSC2 will ask you for a passkey to use with the phone; the phone will also prompt you for a passkey. Enter a 4-digit number into each device (we generally use 1234 at NEI). The data collector should ask you what services you wish to use from the phone; you should see Serial Port and Dial-Up Networking with a Sync; possibly other choices with other devices. Check the box for Dial-Up Networking (ONLY) and hit Finish. You will be returned to the Bluetooth screen; select the phone and pick Next.

6)  You will be prompted for the phone number. Enter *99# and hit Next (a list of which symbols correspond to which function keys is at the end of this document).

7)  All entries shown are case sensitive and must be entered EXACTLY as shown. User Name:

Password: CINGULAR1

Leave Domain blank, hit the Advanced… button

Extra dial-string modem commands:

+cgdcont=1,”IP”,”WAP.CINGULAR”

Pick OK (upper right) and then Finish

8)  Choose the new profile and hit OK. Hit OK on Connections and close the Settings box. You should be back at the main Windows Mobile screen. Start Trimble Survey Controller.

9)  On the phone – go into Settings, Bluetooth, Devices, choose the TSC2, and Authorize the TSC2.

Step 2: Set up a Dial Profile in Survey Controller:

1)  From the main SC menu, select Configuration. Select Dial Profiles. Select New. Fill in as follows:

Use Connection: the one you just created (select from list)

Modem PIN: leave blank

APN: WAP.CINGULAR

IP Address: The IP address of the VRS server.

IP Port: The port number on the server that the corrections are streamed out.

Use NTRIP: Checked

Page 2 (tap box that says 1 / 2)

Use Proxy Server: Unchecked

NTRIP username: the username assigned to you by the VRS administrator

NTRIP password: the password assigned to you by the VRS administrator (note: usernames and passwords are also case sensitive)

Connection type: GPRS

Send user identity info: Checked

Hit Store, then Esc back to the SC main menu

Step 3: Set up a Survey Style

1)  From the SC main menu, select Configuration. Select Survey Styles. Highlight RTK and pick Copy. Name your new style (e.g. LSU VRS), hit Enter and Accept.

2)  From the Survey Styles menu, highlight your new style and hit Edit.

3)  Select Rover options. Change Broadcast format to VRS (CMR). Select whether you want to save the points as positions or as RTK vectors. Hit Accept.

4)  Select Rover Radio. For Type choose Internet Connection. For Dial Profile choose the one you just created. Hit Accept. Hit Store. Hit Esc back to the main menu.

You are now ready to access your VRS network. You will be prompted again for your username and password when you select Start Survey on your Survey Style menu. When the internet connection is made and you reach the VRS mount point you will need to select the service that you want to access; your VRS administrator will advise you as to what services are available. Your survey should then start just like any other RTK survey.
