Configure with Browser

During browser configuration, the device will serve a webpage that is viewable from a desktop, laptop, or cell phone. This is available by connecting to its WiFi access point (AP). For advanced configurations, a desktop is recommended. For quick in-field changes, a cell phone works great.

Access the Configuration Settings​

To configure the device settings from a browser, follow these steps:

  1. Power on the TX2
  2. Once the device has started press the Power Button twice within 1 second (double tap).
  3. The device will beep twice indicating it is waiting for incoming connections.
  4. Connect to WiFi network named RTK Config.
    note

    Upon connecting, your phone may warn you that this WiFi network has no internet. That's ok. Stay connected to the network and open a browser. If you still have problems turn off the Mobile Data setting, so that the phone does not default to its cellular connection for internet access and only connects to the device.

  5. You should be automatically re-directed to the configuration page but if you are not, open a browser (Chrome is preferred) and type https://rtk.local URL address into the address bar.
