Getting Started with the Emlid Reach RS2 | Step 1: Unboxing and Firmware update

Watch this video if you are awaiting delivery of your first Emlid Reach RS2!
Below are chapter links if you want to skip ahead. There are a heap of handy tips along with the steps you'll need to follow in order to get your receiver ready to start work.
The 5 essential steps are:
1) Power on the charged receiver - it will create a Wi-FI network called "Reach:XX:XX"
2) Connect to that Wi-Fi network with a phone or tablet running the Reachview3 App
3) Provide the receiver with credentials for a local Wi-Fi network connected to the Internet. This will allow the receiver to download the latest firmware.
4) Reconnect to the RS2 receiver from your device via the same local Wi-Fi network.
5) Name the receiver and complete the setup process including any firmware updates.

Thanks for your question. Both the Reach RS2 and RS2+ have RS-232 and USB-C ports which can be configured to enable Position Streaming to third-party devices. You can read about this on more detail here: docs.emlid.com/reachrs2/reference/specifications/specs/#ports-overview
You may also find a community discussion about echosounder communication with the RS2 here: community.emlid.com/t/echosounder-communication-with-rs2/26741

@@MangoesmappingAU yes I did read about it and it is commendable... But the cable should come with it in the pack . I shouldn't be made to buy the cable at a separate cost
