New Provider Options

Use these options to configure new web sites that you want to add to your list of Internet data providers. They are available in the New Site Properties dialog. Since sites have different requirements, only the tabs necessary to configure the site appear.


Providers Options
Site name	Type a unique identifier for the site.
Manual Connection Host URL/Address	Type a URL to be used to visit the site.
Connect	Click this to open the web page in your default browser, or starts the manual download for the site.
Automatic Connection Host URL/Address	Type a URL to be used for automatic downloads (see Reference: URL Parameters).
Protocol	Select the method used to transfer data from the web site to your computer. FTP/HTTP - Select this to download reference station, virtual reference station, and file data. Most of sites you encounter will accept this protocol. Explorer - Select this to download reference station, virtual reference station, and file data, and view the file in your default Internet browser. iGate - Select this to download reference station and virtual reference station data. None - Select when you want to access the site using Manual only; this setting disables the Automatic method.
URL Wizard	Click this to display the URL Wizard dialog, where you can build a valid URL.

The Contact tab on the Site Properties dialog enables you to view or edit more information on the provider. All information on this tabbed page is optional.


Contact Options
Organization, Postal Address, Contact Name, E-mail Address, Telephone, FAX	Enter information about the data provider and ways to contact them.
BBS	Type a link to a bulletin board service.
Send Mail	Click this to open your default e-mail program and insert the e-mail address specified in the E-mail Address box.
Security options
Public Access	Select this when no username and password is required.
Restricted Access	Select this when a username and password is required. It opens those text boxes.
User Name	Type a unique identifier. When using the automatic download method, this information is transferred with your download request so that you do not have to manually enter it.
Anonymous	Select this when no username is required. It prompts you to enter the anonymous password provided by the web site's administrator.
Password	Type your e-mail address as the password. When using the automatic download method, this information is transferred with your download request so that you do not have to manually enter it each time you visit the site.
Save Password	Select this to retain the password so you do not have to retype it each time you visit the site.
Reference Station options
Station Location, Receiver Type, Station Type, Other Information	Enter information about the base station.
Location tab options
Code (4 characters)	Type the location code for the station. This is not automatically filled in from the Trimble Predefined Reference Station Provider list (cbs_list.csv). Visit the web site using the Manual download method to determine which codes to use.
Description	Enter additional information to help you identify the site.
iGate tab options
Remote Port	Specify the port number of the iGate server. Most iGate sites use `3456`, which is the default. Some sites have firewalls that block certain ports, so it may be necessary to have this port opened as an outgoing port. It’s hard to tell the difference between a blocked port, a wrong port, and a server that is down, so it’s wise to check the firewall.
