### Multi-Band GNSS Antenna

Of course, you will need to connect an active multi-band GNSS antenna to the RTK EVK. We recommend using the L1/L2/L5 Surveying Antenna (SPK6618H) that is included with the kit. This covers the L1 and L2 band for the ZED-F9P. This also includes a built-in ground plane to provide the best performance for GNSS. This antenna will also provide broad coverage of the L-Band for the correction signals. Insert the SMA connector from the interface cable to the SMA connector labeled as **GNSS**. Tighten the hex nut until it is finger tight. Connect the BNC connector side from the interface cable to the to the SPK6618H antenna. Tighten the threaded connector until it is finger tight.

### Connecting to the u-blox Modules

You can connect to the ZED-F9P, NEO-D9S, or LARA-R6 by inserting the USB-C connector into the port labeled as **CONFIG UBLOX** and inserting the other end to your computer's USB port. This will power the RTK EVK and allow you to connect the modules to u-center.

The Orbit enclosure comes with a built-in power outlet, but you don't actually need it! The Reference Station can be powered by Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), meaning all you really need to run up to the roof is a standard 8-core CAT-6 Ethernet cable. Choose a PoE Ethernet Switch that meets your needs. We have had good experiences with the [TP-Link TL-SG1005P](https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/poe-switch/tl-sg1005p/) - available from many retailers including [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Compliant-Shielded-Optimization-TL-SG1005P/dp/B076HZFY3F).

Finally, if you're going to be logging a lot of data, you might want to stock up on 32GB microSD cards too. The RTK EVK can log 'raw' GNSS data messages (RAWX and SFRBX) at 20Hz if desired. At that rate, you're logging about 50kB per second, 180MB per hour, or over 4GB per day! 32GB cards are the ones we recommend - as they come formatted as FAT32. The RTK EVK does not support exFAT.
