Ruide R6P / Nova

These steps connect a Ruide R6P / Nova to the Premium Positioning correction network over NTRIP, using SurvX / SurvStar (Android). 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 on the customer portal.

• SurvX / SurvStar (Android).

• A working internet connection on the controller or phone.

• A clear view of the sky at the point you are measuring.

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. Before you start: Power on the Ruide R6P/Nova and your Android device. Make sure the phone has mobile data (SIM) or Wi-Fi - corrections arrive over the internet. Have your NTRIP username/password from your welcome email ready.

2. Open SurvX (a SurvX-family app): Ruide rebadges a SurvX-family app (SOUTH/SurPad lineage, sometimes branded SurvStar), so this workflow applies directly - menu names match even if the splash logo differs. Open the app and continue or create a project.

3. Connect to the receiver over Bluetooth: Go to Device > Communicate. Set Device type to your Ruide/SOUTH receiver, Connect type to Bluetooth, tap Search/Connect Config, pick your receiver's serial number, then Connect. Pair first in Android Bluetooth settings if it doesn't appear.

4. Open the Rover configuration: Go to Device > Rover, where the receiver is set as a network rover and the NTRIP source is defined. Edit the current working mode or add a new one.

5. Set the Data Link to a network connection: Set Data Link: Receiver Network (receiver's internal SIM/modem) or Phone Network / PDA Network (corrections via the phone's internet over Bluetooth). Phone Network with mobile data is simplest. Wording ('PDA Network' vs 'Phone Network') varies by version.

6. Choose the NTRIP protocol: Set the Protocol / Server type to NTRIP (some versions label this CORS for a single-mountpoint caster). This exposes the caster address, port and login fields.

7. Enter the Premium Positioning caster details: Server/IP: rtkpremium.xyz, Port: 2101, Protocol: NTRIP. You can type rtkpremium.xyz directly in the IP/Address field; the app resolves the domain.

8. Enter YOUR NTRIP username and password: Type the credentials from your Premium Positioning welcome email - unique to your account; don't guess. If lost, contact support for a reset.

9. Retrieve the source table: Tap Get Access Point (also 'Get Source Table' / the refresh icon). The app connects to rtkpremium.xyz:2101, authenticates, and downloads the mountpoints.

10. Select the COMMON mountpoint: From the access-point / Mount Point list select COMMON - the Premium Positioning correction stream. Confirm your selection.

11. Apply and start corrections: Tap OK / Apply (and Start/Confirm if prompted) to send the config to the receiver and begin streaming. A progress bar fills and the data icon animates.

12. Confirm a Fixed solution: Watch the top status bar or Device > Device Status progress Single → Float → Fixed. Fixed with a low, stable HRMS/VRMS (a few cm or better) means you're receiving corrections correctly. If it stays Single/Float, re-check internet, credentials, and that COMMON is selected.

If the fix will not hold

Ruide rebadges a SurvX-family Android app (SOUTH/SurPad/SurvStar lineage), so the standard SurvX network-rover flow applies. Minor wording ('Phone Network' vs 'PDA Network', 'NTRIP' vs 'CORS') varies between versions. Caster host/port/mountpoint are the same for all customers; only your username/password are personal and are entered on the device.
