Model and Communication

The default baud rate for the Sokkia

GSR2700 ISX is 38400.

In our example we have it set to COM6

because we are using a Bluetooth
connection to connect to the rover. For
your data collector, the COM port could
be different.

If using a cable, use COM1.

Tolerance Modes 1-3

There are three different tolerance

modes that can be set.

Configure the three tolerance modes

based on your needs.

Once connected you can switch

between them on the GPS Control
menu.

Here you can set the default tolerance

mode when you first connect to the
rover.

Once connected you can switch

between them on the GPS Control
menu.

Antenna Height

Select the correct antenna model from

the list.

You should always confirm the antenna

offsets to those published for your
receiver.

Select User Defined to enter your own

offsets if required.

Most 2700s use an internal modem and

a default baud rate of 115200. Always
confirm the modem settings with your

select a mount point which uses a

change this setting to match the
selected mount point’s data format.

network parameters.
