How to Add, Edit, and View RTK Base Station Information | John Deere Operations Center™

In this video, we'll be showing you how to assign and edit RTK Base Station information to a field on a Gen 4 display and how to view RTK Base Station information as well as changed base stations for a specific field in Operations Center. In order to edit RTK information, you must have the A Generation 4 display, wireless data Transfer or a USB drive, the current supported RTK Ready Starfire receiver, RTK Ready Activation 4 receiver, and an RTK radio antenna. To assign an RTK Base station to a field and a Gen 4 display, navigate to the menu button in the lower right hand corner of the display. Under the Applications tab, select the Field and Boundaries button and a window will pop up with field details. Select the Base Station button in the lower right hand corner of the window to view and assign an RTK base station. Select the on button to turn on Automatic Base Station switching from Field to Field Once this toggle is turned on, it will automatically switch base stations when traveling from field to field if base stations are different in those fields. If you are needing to add a different base station to the field or change RTK Base Station information, navigate to the Status center at the top of your display, select the Starfire item line and select the Configure button. Here you will be able to change the Network id. Once you have done so, click OK and then click the arrow in the lower right hand corner of your screen. If the operator chooses to change the RTK Base station on a field that already has an RTK Base station assigned to it and the automatic Base Station switching is turned on, a pop up will appear asking the operator what they would like to do next with the changed RTK base station. In this case we will choose the Update New Base Station option and then click OK in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. When you have successfully changed your current Field Base station, you can review that change by navigating back to the Fields and Boundaries application. Select the menu and then select Applications. Choose Fields and Boundaries, then Base Station in the lower right there you can see Base Station information including the network id. Next we will export the RTK Base Station information from the display. There are two ways you can export data to Operations center from your display. Your two options are WDT or Wireless Data Transfer or the use of a USB drive. You will now navigate back to Operations Center. If you have WDT enabled, your files will automatically be sent to Operations center and you will be able to view them here in your Files page. If you are using a USB to transfer your files, utilize the Upload Files feature in the right hand corner of the Files page. To view your RTK Base Station information, navigate to LAN Manager There are two places in land that you can review the RTK Base station, the Map view and the Table view.
