OmniSTAR Subscription Activation Setup

Hints in subscribing the TRIMBLE PRO XRS

1. Did you receive a subscription code over the satellite? When you receive a code, it will reset the receiver within seconds. Watch the number of sv's. It will drop to 0 and then count back up when it resets.
2. Check your DGPS status page. Make sure it shows a status of LOCK. Check the frequency, data rate, snr, and last RTCM.
3. Check the Auto Shutoff for the data collector. It defaults to 20 minutes. Our activation can take up to 30 minutes and the unit must remain on during this time. Change this in Hardware Configuration.
4. If you received a Code for manual entry, ask OmniSTAR to try sending a code over the satellite
5. Sometimes the unit gets stuck in checking activation. Turn the unit off and back on again. It still could take up to 30 minutes to activate.
6. If all else fails, reset the unit to factory defaults and start all over. You can find this reset under the Utilities menu.
7. If you are using a satellite with a baud rate of 2400 and it will not lock, check the DGPS status and make sure it says 2400. If not, use the Custom Satellite setting and input the frequency and baud rate.
