1. PRODUCT OUTLINE
1.1 SFX Functions
The SFX Dial-up program allows the operator to connect the total station to a cellular phone in order to
exchange data by connecting to an FTP server or to transfer data as email attachments between the
surveying instrument and a computer, while in the field. Coordinate data transferred to the total station
in this way can be added into JOB data in Program mode.
Ex.1 As data can be sent to a computer via e-mail, there is no need to return to the office to hand
over surveyed data.
Ex. 2 All data needed for surveying can be transferred via e-mail so there is no need to waste time
downloading before heading for the worksite.
Ex. 3
Surveyed data can be sent promptly back to the office for processing allowing the operator to
get feedback on the quality of the surveyed data quickly and without having to leave the
worksite. The operator can respond to deficiencies in the data much faster as a result.
Ex. 4
Coordinate data can be exchanged between total stations using the SFX function allowing
greater flexibility when allocating tasks in the field.
• A program designed to allow Internet provider information, e-mail address, and FTP server
information to be set on an operator’s PC is available free of charge. For details, ask your Sokkia
agent.

4. SENDING AND RECEIVING E-MAIL
4.1 Sending E-mail (Coordinate Data/JOB Data)
Coordinate data and JOB data can be sent from the surveying instrument as e-mail attachments.
When using Bluetooth wireless technology for SFX communication, complete Bluetooth settings before
starting transmission.

• The file to be sent is converted to SDR format and written to the server as "Job Name.sdr".
• When a file with the same name already exists on the server, a letter (from a to z) is appended to the
end of the most recent file name (JOB name).
• The surveying instrument can only read in files with the file extensions ".sdr" and “.csv”.
• From the files with the extension ".sdr", only coordinate data is read in. The surveying instrument
records it as coordinate data at the end of the currently selected JOB.

4. SENDING AND RECEIVING E-MAIL
The method for sending an e-mail from the computer to the surveying instrument is the same as that for
sending a normal e-mail.
Compose an e-mail addressed to the address assigned to the surveying instrument.
So that the surveying instrument can distinguish which e-mails to receive, input "SDR>" or ”CSV>”
followed by a user-specified title in the subject line.
G
• Text input in the body of the message will not be displayed on the surveying instrument.
• Even if multiple files are attached to a single e-mail, the surveying instrument can only receive the first
attachment.
• SDR-format coordinate data appended as an attachment. The file extension for attachment files should
be ".sdr".
The surveying instrument selects incoming e-mail with a subject line starting with “SDR>” or “CSV>” and
displays them in a list.
C For more details on sending and receiving e-mails, see the operator’s manual for your e-mail
program.
17
4. SENDING AND RECEIVING E-MAIL
The subject line of the e-mail sent from the surveying instrument will be in the format "SDR>JOB Name."
or “CSV>JOB Name.”, and the file name of the attached e-mail in the format, "JOB name.sdr" or "JOB
name.csv".
CFor more details on sending and receiving e-mails, see the operator’s manual for your e-mail
program.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING
What follows is a list of foreseeable problems the operator may encounter while using SFX. Under each
heading is a description of items to check and possible solutions. When a problem not listed here occurs
or the suggested solution is ineffective, contact your Sokkia agent.
Failed connection
Cellular phone reception
Whenever possible, perform communication in areas where there is good cellular phone reception.
When performing communication indoors radio field intensity is weak and the connection is unstable.
For the service area of your cellular phone, contact your telecoms operator. For other details, see the
operator’s manual for your cellular phone.
File size
Reduce the size of the file being sent/received by dividing into multiple sections and sending/
receiving attached to multiple e-mails. File sizes causing delays in transmission will vary depending
on communication conditions and devices being used. As the maximum file size that can be
successfully transmitted will vary depending on these conditions file size should be set accordingly
(the recommended maximum range is from 2000 to 3000 records).
If the size of a file received from the FTP server is large, writing to a JOB will take a long time, possibly
resulting in the server timing out before completion.
