Applies to DJI enterprise and agriculture aircraft equipped with RTK modules: Mavic 3 Enterprise/Multispectral/Thermal, M300 RTK, M350 RTK, and agriculture series such as T30, T40, T50, and T60X.
Requirements
- RTK module installed and activated on the aircraft (Mavic 3 variants require the external RTK module; M300/M350/T-series include integrated RTK hardware).
- DJI RC Plus / RC Pro Enterprise controller (or compatible ground station) bound to the aircraft.
- Stable internet connectivity for the controller — Wi-Fi hotspot, ethernet tether, or cellular modem (RC Plus / RC Pro support USB-C and internal LTE modules).
- TraceNav device credentials (username/password or token).
- Clear sky view with at least a 30° horizon clearance in all directions.
Ensure the aircraft firmware and controller firmware are up to date. DJI often ships RTK fixes and NTRIP improvements in the latest releases.
- Power on the controller and aircraft; confirm they are bound.
- On the camera screen, tap Settings → RTK and toggle RTK On.
- Select Network RTK (sometimes labelled Custom Network Service).
- Enter the TraceNav caster details:
- Server:
ntrip.tracenav.net
- Port:
2101
- Username / Password: TraceNav device credentials
- Save and connect. The status should progress from Connecting… to RTK FIX/RTK Float within 30–60 seconds once corrections flow.
Verify RTK status
- The RTK indicator should show RTK FIX with correction age under 5 seconds.
- In the RTK settings panel, confirm NTRIP connected and the mountpoint name.
- If available, check the TraceNav dashboard to verify the drone’s session and GGA frequency.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Recommended action |
|---|
| Stuck on “RTK Initializing” | Confirm the controller has a working internet connection (run a speed test). Toggle RTK off/on. |
| Authentication failed | Re-enter credentials; avoid leading/trailing spaces. |
| RTK converging / RTK signal weak | Move to an open area and verify the external antenna (if fitted) has unobstructed sky view. |
