Dual Control (Remote) Interface - NorthStar MX500 Operator's & Installation Manual

Installation Notes
Press the up or down cursor key until the proper input port
number is selected.
The data that you will see on the screen is unprocessed. There-
fore, if there are errors in the data, you can compare the data
against the NMEA 0183 standard. You can also use this screen to
verify that data is being received from external RTCM sources or
other equipment communicating with the MX 500.

Dual Control (Remote) Interface

The Dual Control feature allows you to connect two (or more) MX
500s in a Master / Slave configuration where a common database is
shared between two (or more) MX 500 control heads. This configura-
tion also allows you to use one antenna connected to the Master
unit, for all MX 500s. The remaining data ports, the MOB /Event
input port, and the alarm output ports are still available on each unit
for individual use.
