| 27 | +During browser configuration, the RTK device will present a webpage that is viewable from a desktop, laptop, or cell phone. This is available over WiFi for all devices and ethernet for some (RTK EVK only). For advanced configurations, a desktop is recommended. For quick in-field changes, a cell phone works great. |
