The Issue:
FieldGenius has a feature that is used when configuring a Base/Rover RTK link that allows users to specify a base station ID to be transmitted by the base, and a base station ID filter when configuring the rover. This is useful when working on a busy jobsite where there may be more than one company using GNSS and transmitting corrections, possibly on the same or similar radio frequency.
When used as intended, the feature warns a user if they accidentally connect to the wrong GNSS base using the error message noted in the title of this article.
However, if a user has configured a base/rover profile as described as above using a given base ID, this filter setting will also apply when using the same rover and the Atlas correction service. When working correctly, Atlas service identifies itself as either base ID 131 or 4715. Users report that instead of an RTK fix when connected to Atlas, they see either of the two error messages below (where (*) represents the base station ID they use with a base/rover connection):
The station ID (4715) of the incoming correction stream and the desired station ID (*) do not match
The station ID (131) of the incoming correction stream and the desired station ID (*) do not match
The solution:
Disconnect from Atlas
Disconnect from the rover
Connect to the rover using the Base/Rover RTK profile
Access the gear icon and "Link Configure"
Change Base Station ID to "Any" as shown in the Online Help
