Checking Reference Unit Status
When connected to a Reference Unit, the PhaseTrakker Utility main screen dis-
plays the settings and current status of the unit. The Reference Unit needs a 2D
or 3D GPS Fix to log phase timing data. It is recommended that the Reference
Unit and its antenna be located to achieve a network signal strength of at least
20%. The Network LED on the front panel will blink if the signal strength is less
than 20%. A weak network signal strength may cause delays or dropped con-
nections during phasing operations.
Verifying the Reference Unit Network Address
The Network Address of the Reference Unit is displayed at the upper right on the
PhaseTrakker Utility main screen. This is the fixed IP address of the unit’s wireless
networking device and is the IP address to be entered on all the Field Units that
will be using this Reference Unit.
Configuring the Reference Unit
By default, the Reference Unit is set with system frequency of 60 Hz and the
name “RUnnnnnnnnnnn”, where nnnnnnnnnnn is the Electronic Serial Number (ESN)
