Adam got my Jetpack set up weeks ago, but I was in the office at the time so I couldn't test it beyond verifying that everything seemed to connect. I've been using an RTN connection since then whenever I've needed RTK, but I've got a project coming up for which I'll need to use my own base, so I decided to set everything up in my yard today and make sure the system works.
I got the Triumph-2 and Jetpack going, though I continue to find the whole Connect, To Base/From Base, and Start Base sequence confusing. (I think I need to spend a little more time going through this with manual in hand.) I then got as far as trying to connect the LS rover using my phone as a hotspot (which is what I normally use with the RTN), but the rover kept cycling through INIT, CONNECTING, and SOCKET FAILED. I checked all the settings I could think of, did a lot of head scratching, reloaded profiles and restarted everything a couple of times, but still no joy.
I started to wonder if the Jetpack was working properly, so I launched a network utilities app on my phone and pinged the fixed IP address. The pings came back without delay, and as soon as they did the rover connected and continued to work as expected. I suspect that the sudden change from no connection to connection following the ping was more than coincidence, but I can't offer a rational explanation.
Any other Jetpack users run into this?
