Configuring the receiver using Wi-Fi and the Web Interface

The receiver has a Wi-Fi port so that the receiver can connect directly to a PC or smartphone. You can use Wi-Fi to access, configure, and monitor the receiver. No cable connection to the receiver is required.

Connecting via Wi-Fi

You can connect directly to the receiver from a PC or smartphone.

  1. Using the Wi-Fi connection application on your PC or smartphone, find the access point SSID for the receiver; turn on the GNSS receiver and wait for the words "Trimble GNSS" and last four digits of the receiver serial number to appear in your Wi-Fi connection application. For example, Trimble GNSS xxxx (where xxxx represents the last four digits of the receiver serial number).

  2. Connect to the receiver. By default, all encryption is turned off.

  3. Open your web browser and then type the receiver IP address into the URL field. By default the IP address of the receiver is http://192.168.142.1 or 192.168.143.1.

  4. If security is enabled on the receiver, you are prompted to enter a username and password. By default, the login is admin and the password is password. If you cannot connect to the receiver, the password for the admin account may have been changed, or a different account may be in use. Contact your receiver administrator for the appropriate login information.

  5. The receiver web interface is displayed and the receiver is ready for real-time configuration.

    The web page on a smartphone mini-browser opens with a select number of menus. To view the Full (Classic) menu, use the Show Classic Web GUI link in the heading area. To return to the mini-browser, the Wi-Fi connection or receiver must be reset (that is, turned on or off).

Default Wi-Fi connection settings

Out of the box, the receiver is configured to default settings for Wi-Fi connections. You can change any of these settings as required.

The default settings are:

  • Wi-Fi mode: access point

  • Wi-Fi SSID: Receiver serial number

  • Wi-Fi Encryption: Off

  • Wi-Fi IP Address: 192.168.142.1

  • receiver Login: admin
