System biases can introduce errors, as described in the Modes of Operation chapter in the OEMV Family Installation and Operation User Manual. In most cases you need to provide a data link between the base station and rover station (two NovAtel receivers) in order to receive corrections. SBAS and L-band corrections can be accomplished with one receiver and are exceptions to the base/ rover concept. Generally a link capable of data throughput at a rate of 9600 bits per second, and less than 4.0 s latency, is recommended.

Once your base and rover are set up, you can configure them as shown in the configuration examples that follow in Sections 3.3.1 - 3.3.2 starting on Page 50.
