)
Some settings are available both in the Web Interface and in LEICA GPS Spider. If
such settings are configured in the Web Interface, and then an Upload Settings or
Start is done from LEICA GPS Spider, these will be overwritten. In this case use the
Web Interface exclusively for settings that are not available in LEICA GPS Spider, eg.
activating a BINEX data stream. If LEICA GPS Spider and the Web Interface are both
used for the same receiver, please note that Start and Stop should always be done
from LEICA GPS Spider. For more information, please refer to the GRX1200 and
LEICA GPS Spider online help.

ports can be restricted using three access
ranges per port. In the example given above,
NET2 can only be access by the client with the
address 10.60.36.33.
• Server IP address, server IP port number

3.4.2 Activating the Web Interface
Description If the sensor is to be configured via the Web Interface, the Web Interface first needs to be
activated. This is done by loading a zip file containing all necessary data onto the receiver’s
CF card. The zip file can be found on the GPS1200 CD-ROM that was delivered with the
receiver. There are different files to be uploaded for the different languages, e.g. for an
English Web Interface, please upload the file grx1200_webs_en.zip.
Installation of the Web
Interface files step-bystep
Step Description
1. Copy the zip file to the \SYSTEM directory of the receiver’s CF card. Do not unzip
the file. The CF card can be accessed directly by inserting it in the CF card slot of
a PC or via FTP connection. Refer to "3.2 Access the Receiver via FTP connec-
tion".
2. Reboot the receiver. The Web Interface is then installed.
