support installed Bluetooth stack, use virtual serial ports
provided by Bluetooth manager for your Bluetooth radio.
2-2
Connection Parameters
Port name shows physical and friendly name for the port. The
Application remembers the last used transport, and the last
successful port/device name for every transport, so it is easy to
connect to the same device.
If there is a friendly name for the port/device, you will see both
the friendly and physical name. Otherwise, only the physical
name is displayed. Press the list button to choose a port from the
Select Port dialog (Figure 2-3).
Receiver Port specially for GRS-1 platforms selects the port to
perform connection to an external receiver through the internal
receiver (the External Receiver box is checked).
Connect press to establish the last successfull connection or
press to choose a port for connection. The Select Port (or
Searching) dialog box displays.

Connection
Figure 2-4. Device Information
The Device Info dialog box shows both the physical and friendly
names of the serial port or Bluetooth device. The Class of Device for
Bluetooth devices also displays.
Detecting Hardware
Pressing the Connect button on the Connection Parameters dialog
box (see Figure 2-2 on page 2-2) establishes a connection to the
devices port you selected.
When TRU is in Simple Terminal mode, it just opens the port. The
Application will neither try to detect the hardware connected to the
port, nor change the port settings.
When TRU is in Receiver Managing mode, it will attempt to detect
the device connected to the port.
When detecting a receiver, the Detecting Receiver dialog box
(Figure 2-5 on page 2-5) displays. An ActiveSync animated icon and
a Cancel button displays. Additional parameters display when using
serial transport, i.e., baud rate and flow control as shown in
Figure 2-5 on page 2-5.
2-4
Disconnection Auto Detection
Figure 2-5. Detecting a Receiver
Press the Cancel button to terminate the process.

TRU always remembers the last successful port settings. When you
try to establish a new connection, TRU first tries to use the last
selected settings. The connection is established right away if you are
connecting to the same device.
When the Application is in Modem Managing mode, and auto
detection is setup, it tries to detect a modem at the time of connection.
If there is no modem, or if it doesn't respond, a connection cannot be
established.
When detecting a modem, the Detecting Modem dialog displays
identical to the Detecting Receiver dialog box.
Disconnection Auto Detection

When in Receiver Managing or Modem Managing mode, TRU
periodically checks if the device is still connected by obtaining the
receiver ID. If connection to the device is lost, an error message
displays (Figure 2-6).
Figure 2-6. Error Message Connection to Receiver is Lost
TRU then closes the established connection and makes the tool area
inactive. TRU will not try to reconnect to the device.
P/N 7010-0908
2-5
Connection
You must choose an appropriate application mode and transport, then

initialize a new connection by selecting DeviceConnect from the
main menu.
TIP
TIP
Disconnection auto detection does not work when in:

- Simple Terminal mode while using any tool,
- Receiver Managing mode while using the Terminal or
Firmware Upload tool,
- Modem Managing mode while using any tool.
NOTICE
NOTICE
When using a Bluetooth connection the OS can notify the

Application that the connection has physically been
broken (e.g., the remote device was switched off, or it was
moved too far from the controller). In that case, TRU also
closes the established connection irrespective of the
current application mode or active tool.

Chapter 3
Simple Terminal
In Simple Terminal mode, Topcon Receiver Utility (TRU) does not:
detect a device
adjust port settings
send any data to the port
This mode is intended for advanced users. Everything is decided by
the user in this pure manual mode.
Simple Manual mode can be used for the following:
when you want to connect to a device that TRU doesnt support.
when you need to export firmware files to an inoperative receiver
that cannot even be detected (e.g., if the previous firmware
update has not been completed, and the receiver cannot be
detected in Receiver Managing mode).
NOTICE
NOTICE
Simple Terminal mode is the only way to update firmware

of the MC-R3. This device doesnt support GRIL and
cannot be used in Receiver Managing mode of TRU.
TIP
TIP
To make the tool area active, first establish a port

connection on the controller using the Connect option from
the Device menu.

NOTICE
NOTICE
When the Application is in Simple Terminal mode, it does

not change port settings.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Port settings depend on the OS. Usually the OS for the PC

remembers the previous port state, so if the port baud rate
was changed, the assigned value will be kept. CE.NET and
Windows Mobile usually reset port settings by default. So if
you open a serial port next time, you have to adjust port
settings again.
Simple Mode if the Simple Mode item is selected, the terminal
works in a similar way as HyperTerminal. Every time you press a
key the key code is immediately sent to the connected device .
If not selecting the Simple Mode, you have to compose a

Reset Receiver performs a hardware reset that functionally

equivalent to turning the power off and then back on. Resetting
the receiver leaves all files intact.
Typical use of this tool is to apply certain settings which require a
hardware reset. After a receiver reset operation, the receiver
requires a few seconds to a few minutes to begin tracking
satellites and logging data.
Clear NVRAM clears the receivers Non-Volatile Random
Access Memory (NVRAM) that holds data required for satellite
tracking, such as ephemeris data and position, and also keeps the
current receivers settings, such as active antenna input, elevation
masks, etc.
Clearing the NVRAM will not delete any files from the receiver.
It will reset the receiver to factory default settings.
Typical use is after loading a new firmware, and sometimes to
eliminate communication or tracking problems. After clearing the
NVRAM, the receiver will require some time to collect new
ephemerides and almanacs (around 15 minutes).

Period: specifies the message output interval. If set to zero,
the corresponding message will be output at the highest
possible rate.
Phase: specifies a time shift in the output of a message with
respect to the moment when the receiver time is a multiple of
the specified period.
Count: serves two purposes. Firstly, if set to a positive
number, specifies how many times the message outputs. Zero
means an unlimited number of times the message outputs.

Receiver Settings
Secondly, if set to a negative number, instructs the receiver to

encapsulate a message into >> message before output.
Flags: provide further adjustment of the way the message is
output. Table 4-6 briefly explains the flags.

Flag
Description
Out
If the flag is selected, the first of the messages invoked by the

corresponding command will be output at the epoch closest to the
command execution time (whatever the specified "period" option).
Change
If the flag is selected, the corresponding message will be output

only if the message data have changed.
Out On Add
If this flag is set, then the (first) message will be output immediately
after executing the corresponding em or out command.
Notena
The receiver uses this flag in order not to output the file header
every time you change the "period" value when recording data into
the log file.

The Functions page displays a list of supported functions. If no
functions are supported, this page is not displayed.
In the TRU version 2.4 the following functions are supported for
GSM modems:
1. PIN Authentication this function allows the modem to store the
entered password. This may be for example the SIM PIN1 to
register to the GSM network, or the SIM PUK1 to replace a
disabled SIM PIN1 with a new one, or the PH-SIM PIN if the
client has taken precautions for preventing damage in the event of
loss or theft etc.
If no PIN1 request is pending (for example if PIN1 authentication
has been done and the same PIN1 is entered again) the modem
responds "ERROR: operation not allowed"; no further action is
required.
P/N 7010-0908
10-3
Each time a password is entered the module starts reading data

from the SIM. The duration of reading varies with the SIM card.
This may cause a delay of several seconds before all commands
which need access to SIM data are effective.
Input Parameters:
PIN Password (string type), usually SIM PIN1.
Sample:
If the requested password was a PUK, such as SIM PUK1 or PHFSIM PUK or another password, then <PIN> must be followed by
<new PIN>. If the requested code was a PUK: specify a new
password or restore the former disabled password.
Sample:
Output Parameters:
Return Value the result code (string type): OK or an error
description.
TIP
TIP
Successful PIN authentication only confirms that the

entered PIN was recognized and correct. The output of the
result code OK does not necessarily imply that the mobile
is registered to the desired network. Typical example: PIN
was entered and accepted with OK, but the modem fails to
register to the network. This may be due to missing
network coverage, denied network access with currently
used SIM card, invalid roaming agreement between home
network and currently available operators etc.
TIP
TIP
What to do if PIN authentication fails?

PIN1 / PUK1:
After three failures to enter PIN 1, the SIM card is blocked

Modem Functions
(except for emergency calls). ERROR: 12 will prompt the

client to unblock the SIM card by entering the associated
PUK (= PIN Unblocking Key / Personal Unblocking Key).
After ten failed attempts to enter the PUK, the SIM card will
be invalidated and no longer operable. In such a case, the
card must be replaced. PIN1 consists of 4 to 8 digits,
PUK1 is an 8-digit code only.
To unblock a disabled PIN1, enter <PUK1>,<new PIN1>.
2. Facility Lock - this function can be used to enable or disable PIN
verification by the SIM card.
Input Parameters:
Lock Boolean variable which shows whether you want to
enable or disable PIN verification.

Please be aware that the Digital UHF II modem supports a

wide UHF frequency range of between 400-470 MHz, and
has been delivered to you in a default factory
configuration1
Before operating a receiver equipped with a Digital UHF II radio, you
must upload the frequencies needed for radio communication in your
specific region. UHF frequencies in your region may be licensed or
unlicensed, but are always subject to some level of restriction within
the overall 400-470 MHz range. Your dealer should load the DCF file
before giving you the receiver integrated Digital UHF II radio. If your
receiver is not loaded with UHF frequencies specific to your region,
please contact your local dealer and request that he supply you with a
DCF file containing licensed UHF frequencies and channel spacings.
Once you receive the DCF file from the dealer, you must have the
latest release version of TRU and do the following:
Install TRU on your Mobile or PC device.
Copy DCF file provided by your dealer and paste it in hard drive
of Mobile or PC device.
Run TRU on your mobile or PC device.
Connect to the internal radio modem of the receiver, using the
Modem Managing mode of TRU.
Click on the Setting option and scroll to the Function tab in TRU.
Select the DCF file saved on local drive and select DCF as the
type of file as shown in (Figure 18-4).
Click on Execute to load the radio frequencies into the radio.

Appendix A
Compatibility Matrix
The following matrix outlines the compatibility between the different
radios used in Topcon GNSS receivers. Please note that our current HiPer
II and GR-5 receivers are transitioning from the Digital UHF to the
Digital UHF II radio board with the release of the Digital UHF II radio.
Topcon 35 Watt external radio, TRL-35 and most discontinued Topcon
GNSS receivers ---such as the original HiPer series and GR-3--- use the
Digital UHF radio board..

*Use of PDL protocol is recommended in applications where possible. Note

that a minimum baud rate of 9600 bps is recommended for all RTK
operations. Compatibility with TrimTalk is subject to some restrictions for
radios listed above.
a TrimTalk protocol is supported on revision C of Satel-3AS boards(with
FW3.39) integrated in Topcon GNSS receivers.
Note: Protocol, modulation, channel spacing and link rate should match between
transmitting and receiving radios for radio operations.

Narrowbanding Policy in the U.S.
The table below outlines the suitable radio configurations that can be
supported by Topcon products to maintain compliance with FCC
narrowbanding regulatory requirements. Note that product operation at
12.5 kHz spacing alone does not provide compliance, and appropriate
updates to your existing FCC licensing may also be required.
