The ZED-F9P module can be configured independently using the u-center software from u-blox by connecting a USB cable to the *Config u-blox* USB connector. Settings can be saved to the module between power cycles. For more information please see SparkFun’s [Getting Started with u-center by u-blox](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/getting-started-with-u-center-for-u-blox/all).

On devices that have a u-blox GNSS receiver, the ZED-F9P GNSS module can be configured independently using the u-center software from u-blox by connecting a USB cable to the *Config u-blox* USB connector. Settings can be saved to the module between power cycles.

However, because the ESP32 does considerable configuration of the ZED-F9P at power on it is not recommended to modify the settings of the ZED-F9P using u-center. Nothing will break but your changes will likely be overwritten at the next power cycle.

Using PointOneNav is discussed in the [Quick Start guide](https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_RTK_Firmware/intro/#ntrip-example). We'll discuss using Skylark below. All services have the same basic interface: as long as the service has NTRIP, the SparkFun RTK product can use it.

One of the great features of SparkFun RTK Everywhere devices is that they are equipped to get corrections from a service called PointPerfect. No need for NTRIP credentials! [Contact SparkFun](https://www.sparkfun.com/pointperfect) with your device ID, pay a small monthly fee of $8 per month (as of this writing) and your device will obtain credentials and start receiving corrections anywhere there is coverage. Please see the [PointPerfect Menu](menu_pointperfect.md) page for more information.

Some SparkFun RTK devices support corrections delivered over IP only (ie, RTK Torch), some devices support L-Band only, and some devices support both IP and L-Band delivery methods. Please see the product description or hookup guide for your particular device for more information.

One downside is that with a 'regional' provider such as Skylark the distance to the correction station may be larger than 10km. While we've always gotten an RTK fix, we often see horizontal positional accuracy of ~30mm instead of the 14mm when using our fixed GNSS reference station. Your mileage may vary.

This is a powerful feature of the RTK line of products. The RTK device can be configured to transmit its RTCM directly over WiFi to up to **4 Casters**. This eliminates the need for a radio link between one Base and one Rover. Providing more than one caster is a unique RTK Everywhere feature that allows a single base installation to push corrections to a public Caster (such as RTK2Go) as well as payment-generating casters (such as [Onocoy](https://www.onocoy.com/) or [Geodnet](https://geodnet.com/)).

The GNSS receiver is capable of tracking 184 channels across four constellations and three bands (L1/L2/5) including GPS (USA), Galileo (EU), BeiDou (China), and GLONASS (Russia). SBAS (satellite-based augmentation system) is also supported. By default, all constellations are used. Some users may want to study, log, or monitor a subset. Disabling a constellation will cause the GNSS receiver to ignore those signals when calculating a location fix.

The GNSS receiver is capable of tracking multiple channels across four constellations, each producing their own GNSS signals (ie, L1C/A, L1C, L2P, L2C, L5, E1, E5a, E5b, E6, B1I, B2I, B3I, B1C, B2a, B2b, etc).
