•
4 internet/intranet connect options (ethernet, direct-PPP, modem client or modem host)
•
1 DGPS/RTK communications port for L1/L2 differential broadcasts
•
Field-upgradeable firmware (program software). What makes one model different from
another is software, not hardware. This unique feature means that the firmware can be
updated anytime, anywhere, without any mechanical procedures whatsoever. For
example, a model with L1/L2-only capabilities can be upgraded to a model with L1/L2
WAAS in only a few minutes at your installed location (instead of the days or weeks that
would be required if the receiver had to be sent to a service depot). All that is required to
unlock the additional features is a special authorization code and internet, or intranet,
accessibility. Please see Section 6.2, MPC Firmware Upgrades & Updates on page 75 for a
description on how your MPC is upgraded/updated via the web.
