Leica iCON iGD4

Connect a Leica iCON iGD4 machine-control display to RTK Premium corrections over NTRIP.

These steps connect a Leica iCON iGD4 machine-control display to the Premium Positioning correction network over NTRIP. They assume you already have your NTRIP credentials.

Before you start

• Your NTRIP username and password, from your Premium Positioning welcome email or your account in the XYZ Platform.

• No account yet? Start a 14-day free trial to get your credentials.

• The iGD4 with a working internet connection.

• No phone or hotspot in the field? If your controller or receiver takes a SIM, Premium Positioning IoT SIMs give it its own data connection.

• The GNSS configured on the iGD4.

• A clear view of the sky at the machine.

Network settings

These are the same for every Premium Positioning customer. Only your username and password are unique to you.

• Server or host: rtkpremium.xyz

• Port: 2101

• Mountpoint: COMMON

• Protocol: NTRIP

Steps

1. Open the correction profile: On the iGD4, open the device or correction profile.

2. Connect via NTRIP: Set the connection to 'Connect via NTRIP'.

3. Enter the address and port: In the NTRIP settings, enter rtkpremium.xyz as the address and 2101 as the port.

4. Enter your NTRIP username and password: Type your own credentials exactly as they appear in your welcome email. They are case-sensitive and unique to your account.

5. Set the mountpoint and network type: Enter COMMON as the mountpoint and set the network type to 'VRS'.

6. Confirm FIXED: Check that position quality reaches 'FIXED' before you start work.

If the fix will not hold

Menu labels differ between iGD4 firmware versions, so match the nearest equivalent on your display. The display needs a live internet connection while the machine works. If position quality stays below FIXED, recheck the address, the port, the COMMON mountpoint, the network type and your credentials.
