DJI Dock 2

Connect the DJI Dock 2 autonomous docking station to RTKdata.com for centimeter-level RTK positioning on remote, unattended drone missions. The Dock 2 is configured entirely through DJI FlightHub 2 (cloud platform) — not DJI Pilot 2.

The DJI Dock 2 is configured via DJI FlightHub 2, not DJI Pilot 2. All RTK settings are entered in the FlightHub 2 web interface. If you need to configure RTK on a handheld controller with DJI Pilot 2 instead, see the DJI Matrice 4 Enterprise RTK or DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise RTK guides.

Step-by-step setup

1

Log into DJI FlightHub 2

Open DJI FlightHub 2 in your web browser and log into your organization account. Verify that the Dock 2 appears online in the device list.

2

Navigate to the Dock 2 RTK settings

1. Select your Dock 2 from the device list.

2. Open the dock's Settings or Configuration panel.

3. Navigate to the RTK section.

3

Enable RTK and select Custom Network RTK

1. Toggle RTK Positioning to ON.

2. Under RTK Service Type, select Custom Network RTK.

4

Enter NTRIP connection settings

Select your region and enter the corresponding server details:

North America

• Host (domain): rtk.rtkdata.com

• Host (IP fallback): 13.56.117.10

• Port: 2101

• Username / Password: From RTK Credentials in the internal dashboard (not website login)

• Mountpoint (ALL CAPS): AUTO (recommended) — or AUTO_WGS84, AUTO_ITRF2020, AUTO_ITRF2014

Europe

Australia

Only these four mountpoints are valid. Typing local CRS names as mountpoints will result in no corrections. Always use ALL CAPS.

5

Save and verify connectivity

1. Click Save to apply the RTK configuration.

2. The Dock 2 will attempt to connect to the NTRIP caster using its own internet connection (Ethernet or 4G).

3. Check the RTK status in FlightHub 2 — it should show the connection as active.

4. Launch a test mission and monitor the RTK status on the aircraft:

Status	Color	Meaning
SINGLE	Red	Basic GNSS fix. No corrections applied yet.
FLOAT	Yellow	Correction data is being received and processed.
FIX	Green	Centimeter-level accuracy achieved.

The Dock 2 establishes the NTRIP connection independently — it does not rely on a handheld controller for internet access. Ensure the Dock 2's network connection is stable and always-on.

RTK fallback behavior

If the RTK connection drops during a mission (e.g., due to a network outage at the Dock 2 site), the aircraft automatically falls back to standard GPS positioning. The mission continues, but accuracy degrades to meter-level until RTK is restored. FlightHub 2 logs any RTK interruptions for post-mission review.

Vertical reference (heights)

RTK corrections deliver ellipsoidal heights (height above the WGS 84 ellipsoid), not orthometric heights (height above mean sea level). If your workflow requires orthometric heights, apply a geoid model in your post-processing software.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Cause	Fix
RTK settings not available in FlightHub 2	Dock 2 is offline	Verify the Dock 2 has an active internet connection and appears online in FlightHub 2.
Connection fails	Wrong host or port	Double-check the host address for your region and confirm port is 2101.
Authentication error	Wrong credentials	Use the username and password from your RTKdata dashboard, not your website login. Credentials are case-sensitive.
RTK stays on FLOAT	Poor sky view at dock location	Ensure the Dock 2 is installed in an open area without overhead obstructions (trees, buildings, overhangs).
RTK drops during mission	Unstable internet at dock site	Ethernet is more reliable than 4G. If using 4G, check signal strength and SIM data plan.
Aircraft falls back to GPS mid-mission	Temporary network interruption	The aircraft resumes RTK automatically when the connection restores. Review FlightHub 2 logs for the interruption cause.

Tips

• Ethernet is the preferred connection method. It provides a more stable and reliable link than 4G, especially for always-on dock installations.

• Test RTK before deploying the Dock 2 permanently. Run a test mission after installation to confirm RTK FIX is achievable at the dock location.

• Monitor remotely. FlightHub 2 provides real-time RTK status for all connected docks. Set up alerts for RTK connection failures.

• Firmware updates matter. Keep both the Dock 2 and aircraft firmware updated. DJI regularly releases improvements for RTK stability and FlightHub 2 integration.

• Network redundancy. For critical operations, consider connecting the Dock 2 via Ethernet as the primary link and 4G as a failover.

• The Dock 2 handles RTK independently. Unlike handheld controller setups, the Dock 2 manages its own internet and NTRIP connection. No phone hotspot or controller is needed for remote missions.
