[Smartfix: Device Connection Guides](https://knowledgebase.globalsurvey.co.nz/smartfix?hsLang=en#smartfix-device-connection-guides) # How to connect Leica Machine Control to SmartFix This guide explains how to configure Leica Machine Control systems running the **MC1 software** (such as on the MCP80 panel) to receive RTK corrections from the SmartFix network. --- > **IMPORTANT:** **TODO for Team:** Please insert screenshots of the MC1/MCP80 interface for steps 1-4. The current text flow is accurate but requires visual companions for machine operators. #### 1. Accessing GNSS Settings Before configuring the network, ensure your machine's modem or control box has an active internet connection (via an inserted data SIM or Wi-Fi). 1. From the main MC1 run screen, tap the **Main Menu** icon. 2. Navigate to **Settings** (gear icon) \> **GNSS**. 3. Locate the connection profile settings (usually under **Network RTK** or **NTRIP Profile**). 4. Choose to **Edit** an existing SmartFix profile or create a **New** profile specifically for your operational region. --- #### 2. Configuring SmartFix Parameters Within the NTRIP profile settings, populate the fields with the critical SmartFix server details. Refer to the** [Connection Parameters](https://knowledgebase.globalsurvey.co.nz/../01_getting_started/smartfix_connection_parameters.md?hsLang=en)** table for the exact port required for your area. - **Server / IP Address:** Enter `www.smartfix.co.nz` *(or `60.234.42.123`)*. - **Port:** Enter your desired regional port (e.g., `4819` for Auckland Fixed network). - **NTRIP Username:** Enter your SmartFix Username *exactly*. - **NTRIP Password:** Enter your SmartFix Password *(Case Sensitive)*. - **Data Format:** Ensure this is set to **RTCM 3** (or RTCM 3.x MSM if specifically requested). --- #### 3. Selecting the Mountpoint 1. Tap **Load Mountpoints** (or **Get Source Table**). \> **Diagnostic Tip:** If the mountpoint list fails to populate, the panel does not have a working internet connection to reach the SmartFix server. Check your SIM card and APN settings. 2. Select your desired mountpoint from the populated list. - For a Fixed Network port, select the `fixed` mountpoint for your Master Station (e.g., `AUCKfixedADV4`). - For a Single Baseline port, select the `single` mountpoint (e.g., `AUCKsingleADV4`). 3. Tap **OK** (or the Green Checkmark) to save the connection profile. --- #### 4. Verifying the Connection 1. Return to the main MC1 run or grading screen. 2. Observe the GNSS/Position status icon in the top system bar. 3. The system should dial into the network, process the incoming corrections, and the position status should transition to **RTK Fixed** (usually denoted by a solid green indicator or specific icon state in MC1). 4. Once Fixed, your machine is receiving centimeter-level corrections and is ready for precision operations. - [Machine Control](https://knowledgebase.globalsurvey.co.nz/machine-control?hsLang=en#main-content) -
