FJD Trion P2 RTK Setup with P1 & S2: NTRIP in Trion Scan

Connect FJD Trion P1, P2 and S2 scanners to RTKdata in FJD Trion Scan: phone hotspot, SR RTK model, Ntrip rover card with AUTO and GNSS Fusion in Trion Model.

The FJD Trion P1, P2 and S2 (including S2 PRO and S2 MAX) are handheld SLAM LiDAR scanners from FJDynamics. They receive RTK corrections through an FJD RTK module (SR) and connect to RTKdata over NTRIP from the FJD Trion Scan app on iOS or Android. This page covers the FJD Trion P2 RTK setup, the P1 with the FJD Trion RTK Module (SR) (called FJD Trion GNSS Module (SR) in the FJD support center) and the S2 series.

The scanner joins your phone's hotspot for internet, the RTKdata connection is saved as an Ntrip card under RTK Settings, and the georeferenced point cloud is produced afterwards in FJD Trion Model with GNSS Fusion. FJD lists RTK for the newer Trion T1 and X1 as well, but their correction setup is not documented yet, so they are not covered here. Trion scanners are not the FJD auto-steer systems used in agriculture; those are listed under RTKdata for Agriculture. FJD's separate GNSS receivers such as the V1t and V10i are set up outside Trion Scan according to FJD's manual and are not covered here.

Enter these values on the Ntrip page in Trion Scan. Choose the server closest to your work area; all three servers share the same base station network (NTRIP Server Settings). Select the tab for your region:

  • Host (domain): rtk.rtkdata.com in Server Address (recommended)

  • Host (IP fallback): 13.56.117.10 in Server Address, only if the check stops at Server Address/Port with the hostname (older apps: Server address/account verification, once the credentials are ruled out)

  • Port: 2101 in Port

  • Username / Password: From RTK Credentials in your account dashboard, not your website login, in Username and Password

  • Mountpoint (ALL CAPS): AUTO (recommended), or AUTO_WGS84, AUTO_ITRF2020, AUTO_ITRF2014, picked as Node from the list behind Source Node

  • Host (domain): eu.rtkdata.com in Server Address (recommended)

  • Host (IP fallback): 3.73.41.96 in Server Address, only if the check stops at Server Address/Port with the hostname (older apps: Server address/account verification, once the credentials are ruled out)

  • Port: 2101 in Port

  • Username / Password: From RTK Credentials in your account dashboard, not your website login, in Username and Password

  • Mountpoint (ALL CAPS): AUTO (recommended), or AUTO_WGS84, AUTO_ITRF2020, AUTO_ITRF2014, picked as Node from the list behind Source Node

  • Host (domain): aus.rtkdata.com in Server Address (recommended)

  • Host (IP fallback): 54.206.56.130 in Server Address, only if the check stops at Server Address/Port with the hostname (older apps: Server address/account verification, once the credentials are ruled out)

  • Port: 2101 in Port

  • Username / Password: From RTK Credentials in your account dashboard, not your website login, in Username and Password

  • Mountpoint (ALL CAPS): AUTO (recommended), or AUTO_WGS84, AUTO_ITRF2020, AUTO_ITRF2014, picked as Node from the list behind Source Node

AUTO selects the nearest base station from the device position (NMEA GGA) and delivers corrections in your region's local datum. Pick one of the global frames only when your project needs that frame.

Current app version when this page was written: FJD Trion Scan 3.8.3 for iOS (September 2026). The labels on this page come from FJD manuals and published app screens up to January 2026; in Trion Scan 3.8.x they can differ slightly.

What do you need before connecting an FJD Trion to RTKdata?

To connect an FJD Trion to RTKdata you need the scanner with its RTK module mounted, a current FJD Trion Scan (3.8.2 or later on iOS), a phone with mobile data and a hotspot, RTKdata coverage at your site and your RTKdata NTRIP credentials.

  • FJD Trion P1, P2 or S2 with the RTK module mounted (see the tabs below)

  • FJD Trion Scan 3.8.2 or later on iOS 15 or later; on Android, the current version from Google Play. Trion Scan 3.8.2 for iOS (10 September 2026) fixed an issue where saving CORS accounts failed. Version 3.8.3 from 14 September 2026 was the current iOS version when this page was written.

  • Current scanner firmware, updated after the app: Settings > Firmware Version in Trion Scan. Update in the office, not on site. A P1 with the SR module needs firmware V1.5 or later.

  • Phone with mobile data and a personal hotspot that can run on 2.4 GHz

  • RTKdata coverage at your site: check the Coverage Map before you go out.

  • RTKdata account with active RTK credentials (username starts with rtk). One set of credentials allows one connection at a time, so a drone or rover that is online at the same time needs its own data stream (Account & Credentials).

  • FJD Trion Model on a PC for the georeferenced point cloud. P2 data need Trion Model PC V207.001 or later.

Mount the RTK module before you power on the scanner:

Place the GNSS Module in the GNSS Holder and connect its cable.

  • Option A (panoramic external camera plus RTK module, for example with the Insta360 mount): connect the RTK cables and the camera cables.

  • Option B (RTK module package): insert the adapter by aligning the red dots.

The RTK module sits on the Bracket and connects through the 7pin Cable (RTK communication and power supply).

How does the Trion get internet for RTK corrections?

The FJD Trion gets internet for RTKdata corrections through your phone: the scanner joins the phone's personal hotspot in network mode, so the phone needs mobile data. In local mode the phone connects to the scanner's own Wi-Fi instead, and according to FJD's manuals the scanner then has no internet and receives no corrections.

1

Turn on the phone hotspot

Turn on Personal Hotspot with mobile data on your phone. The scanners use 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. On Android, choose the 2.4 GHz band if your phone offers that setting. On an iPhone, Apple advises turning on Maximize Compatibility and staying on the Personal Hotspot screen until the other device has connected; keep it open until Trion Scan shows Device Connected.

2

Power on the scanner in network mode

  1. Go outdoors under open sky before you power on; RTKdata's AUTO needs the scanner's own position.

  2. Place the scanner flat and still.

  3. Power it on: hold the power button for 1 to 2 seconds on the P1, press it briefly (0.2 to 1 second) on the P2 and S2.

  4. After about 15 seconds the LED turns solid green. That is network mode.

  5. If the LED turns solid blue, the scanner is in local mode. Switch back with a short press (0.2 to 0.5 seconds) followed by a long press (about 1 second or longer).

The P1 starts in STA mode again after every restart. On a P2 with firmware V1.2.0 or later, local mode can be set as the default start mode; if the LED keeps coming up blue, set the default back to Network Setup Mode.

3

Connect the scanner in Trion Scan

  1. Open FJD Trion Scan and tap Add Devices.

  2. On Connect Device, pick FJD Trion P1, FJD Trion P2 or FJD Trion S2 and tap Next Step.

  3. Allow Bluetooth. The app searches for devices; select your scanner by its serial number.

  4. On Input Hotspot Information, enter Hotspot Name* and Hotspot Password* of your phone hotspot and tap Confirm.

  5. The app shows Device Connected and Obtaining Device Information.

Do not tap switching connection method on the Connect Device screen. It leads to local mode without internet, so no corrections reach the scanner. The first time you use a scanner it is locked anyway.

How do you set up FJD Trion P2 RTK with RTKdata in Trion Scan?

To set up FJD Trion P2 RTK with RTKdata, open Settings > RTK Settings > Rover > Add on the connected scanner in FJD Trion Scan and fill in the Ntrip page with the RTKdata host for your region (rtk.rtkdata.com North America, eu.rtkdata.com Europe, aus.rtkdata.com Australia), port 2101, node AUTO and your RTKdata credentials. The P1 with the SR module and the S2 use the same page. Older app versions call the Rover entry Mobile Station Settings.

1

Confirm the RTK model SR

After the scanner connects, Trion Scan shows the RTK Model pop-up (RTK equipment is detected, please confirm the specific model and parameters.).

  1. Tap SR actively, then OK. V1t, V10i and, in newer apps, V10a are separate FJD receivers.

  2. Some app versions preselect V10i (seen in a P1 app on Android). Tapping only OK then sets the wrong receiver.

  3. The app confirms with Parameter settings are successful. and RTK Settings shows Model = SR.

To change it later, use Switch Model or Model on the RTK Settings page.

2

Match the structure parameters to your mounting

On RTK Settings, set Structure Parameters to the hardware you actually use:

  • Without a camera mount: Default.

  • P2 with the Insta360 mount: Camera Stand = Yes on iOS, or With Camera Mount on Android.

  • Customization only for your own mounting.

FJD does not document what these values change, so match them to the real setup rather than leaving a previous choice.

3

Open the Rover list

  1. Open the connected scanner's Settings tab and tap RTK Settings > Rover. While no card is applied, Rover shows Not Connected. In older app versions this entry is Mobile Station Settings.

  2. If the list shows No Configuration, tap Add at the bottom. The Ntrip page opens.

If RTK Settings shows neither Rover nor Mobile Station Settings, FJD's release notes name two other places: rover management in the app's Software Settings (Trion Scan 3.6.0) and a Mobile Station Management section (S2 firmware V1.4.2).

The RTK icon at the top right of the device home screen opens RTK Data, which also has a Settings button.

4

Fill in the Ntrip page

  1. Name: any label, for example RTKdata.

  2. Server Address: type the host for your region by hand: rtk.rtkdata.com (North America), eu.rtkdata.com (Europe) or aus.rtkdata.com (Australia).

  3. Port: 2101.

  4. Tap the icon behind Source Node. The app loads the mountpoint list from the caster. This works only once Server Address and Port are correct and the phone has internet.

  5. Node: pick AUTO from the list (search field Please enter a name). The list can show further entries; stay on AUTO unless your project needs AUTO_WGS84, AUTO_ITRF2020 or AUTO_ITRF2014. Node is required.

  6. Username and Password: your RTK credentials. Type them rather than paste them, with no spaces at the start or end.

The pin icon labelled IP behind Server Address is only an address book for saved servers. It does not mean the field needs an IP address. It holds only addresses that were saved on this device before, which can include other correction services, so check that the entry you pick is the RTKdata host for your region, or type the host by hand. From P2 firmware V1.2.0, saved server addresses can be deleted.

The RTKdata sourcetable loads without a login. A visible mountpoint list proves neither your credentials nor a correction stream (checked on 25 September 2026). The check dialog and RTK Status show whether corrections arrive.

5

Apply the card and watch the check dialog

AUTO chooses the base station from the device position (NMEA GGA). Without that position the login still succeeds, but no corrections arrive (NTRIP & GGA Essentials). The Ntrip page has no GGA setting, and FJD does not document how the scanner reports its position. That is why you switch the scanner on outdoors (see the power-on step): give it time under open sky to find its own position, then apply the card.

  1. Tap Use to save and apply the card. Save only stores it.

  2. A saved card is applied from the list: swipe it and tap the check mark. The other two actions are Configuration Details (i) and Delete (trash can).

  3. Trion Scan checks the connection in the Rover dialog: Network Verification, Server Address/Port, Username/Password, Configure Receiver. Confirm with OK. Older app versions show three steps: Network verification, Server address/account verification, Configure receiver.

  4. The card shows Use: CORS, Port: 2101 and Server Address: with your RTKdata host, for example rtk.rtkdata.com, and a yellow check mark.

If the dialog stops at one step, that step points to the fault. See the troubleshooting table below.

What do the yellow and green check marks mean?

On an FJD Trion, a yellow check mark on the RTKdata Ntrip card means the configuration has been applied, and a green check mark means the scanner has an RTK fix. FJD's RTK module manual says the yellow mark turns green automatically "if the current RTK is in an open area and the signal is good enough to obtain a fixed solution".

To confirm the fix, tap the RTK icon at the top right of the device home screen. In RTK Data:

  • RTK Status must show Fixed. The P2 app adds a number, for example Fixed-0; FJD does not document its meaning.

  • CORS Account shows Connected Successfully. This confirms the login, not the fix.

  • Source Node shows the mountpoint in use, and Baseline the distance to the base station (in metres in the P2 app). For the best accuracy, work within 15 km of a base station (Accuracy Expectations). A much longer baseline means the nearest station is far from your site; check the Coverage Map.

Older app versions label the window RTK data with CORS account and Connected successfully.

Tap Scan only once RTK Status shows Fixed. If Trion Scan asks Abnormal RTK status. Are you sure you want to start scanning?, tap Cancel and wait for the fix. OK starts the scan without one.

On later starts, Trion Scan applies the last configuration automatically. When you start a scan, wait until Configuration loading, please wait... has finished.

Changing a saved Ntrip card

An applied card cannot be edited or deleted; its buttons are greyed out. Swipe the card and tap Cancel Application (X) first, then edit it under Configuration Details (i) or delete it, and apply the new card. Because the last configuration is applied at every start, changed settings only take effect this way.

How do you georeference the scan in FJD Trion Model?

You georeference an FJD Trion scan with RTKdata positions in FJD Trion Model on the PC: in Point Cloud Mapping set Scanning scene to Outdoor, tick GNSS Fusion, choose a Coord System on the regional datum that RTKdata's AUTO delivers, and leave Optimize with Control Point off, because it disables RTK integration. GNSS Fusion ties the SLAM point cloud to the RTK positions recorded in the field. Trion Scan records the data; the fusion runs in Trion Model.

  1. Open Point Cloud Mapping, load the file under Data File Path and select the Device Model (P1, P2 or S2). P2 data need Trion Model PC V207.001 or later; that version also fixed an issue with exporting large-coordinate point clouds.

  2. Set Scanning scene to Outdoor.

  3. Tick GNSS Fusion (older versions: RTK Fusion). Without it the point cloud stays in local SLAM coordinates, even if the scan had a fix.

  4. Under Coord System, open Predefined Coordinates, set Continent and Region, and actively choose the system on the regional datum that AUTO delivers for your site, in the zone of your site. Check the preselected system before you confirm: it has been seen set to China CGCS 2000 or to the last system used.

  5. Leave Optimize with Control Point off. FJD states that enabling control point optimization disables RTK integration. Use control points to check accuracy instead.

  6. For heights above a local reference, use Geoid Model or, with control points, Elevation Fitting.

Datum: AUTO delivers corrections in your region's local datum, for example NAD83(2011) in the USA, NAD83(CSRS)v7 in Canada, ETRS89 (realization ETRF2000) in Europe and GDA2020 in Australia. For every other region, see the table in Coordinate Systems & Datums. AUTO_ITRF2020 and AUTO_ITRF2014 deliver that frame at the current epoch, and AUTO_WGS84 delivers WGS84(G2139) in the middle of the current year. In Trion Model, choose a target system on the same datum as your mountpoint, and use AUTO_WGS84 only with a target system based on WGS 84. FJD does not document how Trion Model handles datums internally, so check at least one known control point before you deliver. The general workflow for SLAM scans is in Georeference SLAM Point Clouds with RTK.

RTKdata corrections deliver ellipsoidal heights, not heights above mean sea level. Apply a Geoid Model or Elevation Fitting in Trion Model when you need orthometric heights. See Understanding Heights.

What should you check when there is no fix?

When an FJD Trion does not reach a fix with RTKdata, first look at where the Rover check dialog stops, because each step tests one part of the connection.

Problem
Cause
Fix

Stops at Network Verification

Scanner in local mode, or the hotspot has no mobile data

Check for a solid green LED (network mode), turn on mobile data and reconnect the scanner to the hotspot.

Stops at Server Address/Port

Host or port mistyped, or the hostname is not resolved

Retype the host for your region and 2101 by hand. If it still stops here, enter the IP fallback for your region as Server Address: 13.56.117.10 (North America), 3.73.41.96 (Europe) or 54.206.56.130 (Australia).

Stops at Username/Password

Website login used, typo, or a space in the field

Type the username (starts with rtk) and password from RTK Credentials again.

Stops at Server address/account verification (older apps)

Host, port or credentials wrong

Retype the host for your region and 2101, then the username and password from RTK Credentials. If it still stops, enter the IP fallback for your region as Server Address (see above).

Stops at Configure Receiver

Most likely a wrong RTK model or a module that is not detected

Check Model = SR under RTK Settings, and check the module cable, the P2 adapter or the S2 7pin Cable.

No mountpoint list after tapping Source Node

Server Address or Port wrong, or no internet

Correct them first, then tap the icon again.

Card cannot be saved

Node empty, or an older Trion Scan version

Pick AUTO as Node, and update Trion Scan to the current version (3.8.2 or later on iOS).

Card cannot be edited or deleted

The card is applied

Tap Cancel Application (X) first.

Scanner keeps connecting with a previous card

The last configuration is applied at every start

Cancel the active card, then apply the RTKdata card with the values above.

Scanner does not find the hotspot

Hotspot not reachable for a 2.4 GHz device

iPhone: turn on Maximize Compatibility and stay on the Personal Hotspot screen until the scanner connects (Apple's advice). Android: choose the 2.4 GHz band.

Connecting to a hotspot dialog appears

The scanner is already connected to another phone or computer

Disconnect it from the other phone or computer first.

Yellow check mark, no green

Card applied, no fix yet

Move to open sky, hold the scanner still and wait for Fixed. Under open sky most users reach an RTK fix in 5 to 20 seconds (NTRIP Server Settings); give it 60 to 90 seconds to converge (Accuracy Expectations). If it still does not show Fixed, check RTK Data and continue with the next row.

Connected Successfully, but RTK Status never shows Fixed

Poor sky view, or the caster has not received the device position (NMEA GGA), so AUTO cannot assign a base station

Restart the scanner outdoors under open sky, let it find its own position and apply the card again. If that does not help, contact support@rtkdata.com.

Fix drops during the scan

Sky view blocked along the route, or the phone loses mobile data

Start and end the scan under open sky with Fixed, keep an eye on the RTK status while you scan, and repeat sections where the fix dropped. FJD Trion Model also has a PPK Calculation that uses data from a base station of your own; see Is RTK or PPK better for a handheld SLAM scanner?

Connection drops or the fix keeps cycling while another device is on

Two devices on one set of credentials

One set of credentials allows one connection at a time. See Account & Credentials.

Point cloud is not georeferenced

GNSS Fusion not ticked, or Scanning scene on Indoor

See the Trion Model section above.

For connection problems that are not specific to the Trion, such as corrections that never arrive or a login that keeps failing, see Fix NTRIP Connection Issues.

Frequently asked questions

Can the FJD Trion P2 use a third-party NTRIP service?

Yes. FJD Trion Scan has an Ntrip page for any NTRIP caster, and FJD notes that "the CORS account needs to be purchased by yourself". For RTKdata, enter the host for your region (rtk.rtkdata.com, eu.rtkdata.com or aus.rtkdata.com), port 2101, node AUTO and your RTK credentials. The P1 with the SR module and the S2 use the same page.

Where is the Rover menu in FJD Trion Scan?

The Rover menu, where you add RTKdata as an Ntrip card, is in the connected scanner's Settings tab under RTK Settings > Rover. Older versions of FJD Trion Scan call it Mobile Station Settings. The RTK icon at the top right of the device home screen opens RTK Data, which has a Settings button as well.

Why does my FJD Trion show a yellow check mark but no fix?

A yellow check mark means Trion Scan has applied the Ntrip card; it turns green only when the scanner has an RTK fix. Move to open sky and wait: under open sky most users reach an RTK fix in 5 to 20 seconds, and RTK can take 60 to 90 seconds to converge. If RTK Data shows CORS Account Connected Successfully but RTK Status never reaches Fixed, check that Model is SR and restart the scanner outdoors. RTKdata's AUTO mountpoint needs the scanner's own position (NMEA GGA) to pick a base station; without it the login succeeds but no corrections arrive (NTRIP & GGA Essentials). Give the scanner time under open sky to find its position, apply the card again, and contact RTKdata support if it persists.

Which RTK model do I choose for the Trion SR module?

Choose SR for the FJD Trion P1, P2 and S2 with the FJD RTK module. V1t, V10i and V10a are separate FJD receivers. Tap SR before OK, because some app versions preselect V10i. Then add RTKdata under RTK Settings > Rover with the host for your region, port 2101 and node AUTO.

How do you connect the FJD Trion P1 RTK module to RTKdata?

The FJD Trion P1 receives RTKdata corrections through the FJD Trion RTK Module (SR), which needs P1 firmware V1.5 or later. Place the GNSS Module in the GNSS Holder and connect its cable, connect the P1 to your phone hotspot in STA mode, confirm SR in the RTK Model pop-up, then add RTKdata under Settings > RTK Settings > Rover > Add with the host for your region, port 2101 and node AUTO.

Does FJD Trion Scan accept a hostname as server address?

Yes. FJD's RTK Module (SR) manual shows a hostname in Server Address on the P1, and published iOS videos show a P2 reaching Fixed and an S2 connecting with a hostname. On Android the field takes free text, but public examples only use IP addresses. Enter the RTKdata host for your region, for example eu.rtkdata.com in Europe; if the check stops at Server Address/Port (older apps: Server address/account verification, once the credentials are ruled out), use the IP fallback for that region, for example 3.73.41.96.

Quick reference

  1. Outdoors under open sky: phone hotspot with mobile data on 2.4 GHz, scanner in network mode (solid green LED), a current FJD Trion Scan (3.8.2 or later on iOS).

  2. Add Devices > model > Next Step > hotspot name and password > Confirm, then RTK Model = SR > OK.

  3. Settings > RTK Settings > Rover > Add: Server Address rtk.rtkdata.com (North America), eu.rtkdata.com (Europe) or aus.rtkdata.com (Australia), Port 2101, Node AUTO, RTKdata Username and Password > Use.

  4. Only if the check still stops at Server Address/Port (older apps: Server address/account verification, credentials ruled out): IP fallback 13.56.117.10, 3.73.41.96 or 54.206.56.130 as Server Address.

  5. Wait for the green check mark and RTK Status Fixed before you tap Scan.

  6. Trion Model: Point Cloud Mapping > Outdoor > GNSS Fusion > Coord System on the regional datum that AUTO delivers, then check a control point.
