4 Configuring the Receiver

34 AgGPS 252 Receiver User Guide

Note – The AgRemote utility, when connected to an AgGPS 252 receiver

receiver, automatically resets the receiver port communication settings to

8-O-1 TSIP 115 K. This enables optimal communication with an office

computer. If the receiver is to work with an Autopilot system, however, the

receiver port communication settings must be 8-N-1 TSIP 38.4 K. To work

with some other devices and software programs, the receiver port

communication settings must be 8-N-1 NMEA 4800. If AgRemote has

changed the settings, you will need to change them back manually.

When using a Trimble SiteNet 900 radio, make sure that the

communication settings are correct in the receiver.

The default settings to use with the SiteNet radio are:
