Setting up non Javad as base

I'm a new LS+ owner and will be using the unit primarily as a network rover for 95% of my work, but was wondering if anyone has experience setting up another unit as a base. I still have my old equipment consisting of a Stonex S900A that is capable of delivering all constellation corrections. I'm just not too familiar with the procedure. Any help appreciated.

You will need to configure the radio settings on the LS+ to match that of the base. The LS+ is compatible with ADL and Satel protocols.

I think I got it figured out. I am using Field Genius for the Stonex. I set up the Stonex to broadcast on a certain frequency, modulation and correction format and match those on the LS+. But for some reason or other the LS is now trying to receive corrections via local CORS network instead of the Stonex as a base. I can't seem to figure out how to receive corrections from the Stonex.

Weird, I was able to get them communicating yesterday, but it started pouring, so I quit. Today I tried again, and even though the Stonex is sending out corrections, I can't get the LS+ to receive the data. There are so many variables between frequency, modulation, correction format, power, etc.. I can't get it to work. Maybe I'll try to tackle it another day.

If you get the settings correct, I am sure it will work. I was able to successfully get the LS+ to work with a Spectra SP80 & SP85. Something else to watch for is the format. Some other units don't broadcast RTCM 3.2 MSM Short. You may have to use a different format. In doing that you will have to determine which format with provide the most signals. Its a bit of a process but can be done. Good luck!

I was able to get it to connect earlier, but I think there's something preventing me from connecting via radio and/or bluetooth. No matter what I do, I can't get bluetooth nor the radio to power up. This is what my screen shows:
