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
dealer.

select a mount point which uses a
different data format, FieldGenius will
change this setting to match the
selected mount point’s data format.
Press the Setup button to set the
network parameters.
