SatLab SLC / Eyr

These steps connect a SatLab SLC / Eyr to the Premium Positioning correction network over NTRIP, using SatLab field app (SatSurv / SurvX-style). 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.

• SatLab field app (SatSurv / SurvX-style).

• 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. Power on and pair over Bluetooth: Switch on the SatLab SLC/Eyr and enable Bluetooth on your Android controller. Open the SatLab field app (SatSurv) and go to the device/connection screen (Device > Connect or the Communication tab). Set Manufacturer to SatLab, choose Bluetooth, search and select your receiver by serial number. Confirm connected status.

2. Open Rover settings: Go to Device (or Config) and choose Rover (in the SLC docs reached via GPS Base/Rover settings; in SatSurv the Rover work mode). Always pick Rover, not Base.

3. Set the Data Link to network/internet: Set the Data Link to a network internet option, not radio. The controller's connection is usually Phone Network / PDA Network (its SIM or Wi-Fi); the receiver's own modem is Receiver Network (in the SLC manual: Internal GSM vs Data Collect Internet). Pick the device that actually has internet. These labels can vary by SatSurv version.

4. Select the NTRIP protocol: Select NTRIP for the connection type (some SurvX-style screens label this CORS, which is the same NTRIP-client mode). Don't pick TCP/APIS or radio.

5. Enter the caster server and port: Server/Host = rtkpremium.xyz, Port = 2101. Leave any TLS/SSL toggle off unless told otherwise - this caster uses standard NTRIP on port 2101.

6. Enter YOUR NTRIP username and password: Enter the username/password from YOUR welcome email - unique to your account, case-sensitive. They're entered into the device only and never sent to anyone else.

7. Retrieve the source table (mountpoint list): Tap the button that fetches streams - Get Access Point, Get Source Table, or a refresh icon next to the mountpoint field. If the list comes back empty, re-check server, port, credentials and that the device has internet.

8. Select the COMMON mountpoint: From the source-table list select COMMON - the Premium Positioning correction stream. Confirm/OK to save it into the NTRIP profile.

9. Apply and connect: Confirm the settings (OK/Apply). The app connects and requests corrections. On the SLC/Eyr a successful link shows the signal LED solid green, flashing yellow as data is received.

10. Confirm a Fixed solution: On the survey/status screen watch Single → Float → Fixed (the app shows the solution state, e.g. RTK Fixed). Wait for Fixed with cm accuracy before recording points. If it stays Float, allow open-sky time and verify the mountpoint and coverage.

If the fix will not hold

The SatLab app (SatSurv) is a SurvX-style Android app: connect/Rover/Data Link/NTRIP labels are confirmed in the SatLab SLC manual and the standard SurvX/SurvCE flow these apps share, but some wording (Phone Network vs PDA Network, Get Access Point vs Get Source Table) varies slightly between versions - pick the option matching the description. A Fixed solution needs clear sky and a stable internet connection.
