I made a base station using an M2. When I log into Emlid Flow it seems to be working.
45 satellites in view, chart shows greens and yellow bars.
When I go to my rover (non-emlid), it doesn’t seem to be receiving anything. I’ve tried a different Ntrip service and it seems to work. My rover asks for a user name and password, which I don’t recall setting up but maybe that’s my issue. Is there a way to find out if I’ve set a name and password or are they default to something? Is there a way to test my base station other than with emlid flow while next to the base station itself?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@pokemontractorbeam, thanks for explaining your workflow. Let’s see what we can do.
First, let’s ensure that both units have a stable internet connection and have good placement. Then, you can let me know the following:
- Are you using Emlid Caster for your setup? If so, you can check if your base is online when you connect it to a mount point.
- What model is your rover? It is worth double-checking if it accepts RTCM3 messages in correction format via NTRIP. This ensures compatibility with the M2.
With this, I can know what steps to take to help you. However, to answer your questions:
Yes, with Emlid Caster, they are default.
Once you set up and connect your base to a mount point in Emlid Caster, you will see the rover’s credentials, including the username and password. Otherwise, you can clarify on what NTRIP provider or caster you’re using, and I can check for you.
If you’re using Emlid Caster, check the status — if your base is connected, you’ll see ONLINE next to the mount point name.
Thank you very much for the help. Using your instructions, I accessed my emlid account to see all of the mount point information for the base station and the Emlid Caster. I went through the steps to connect my base to a mount point, again. And corrected my information on the rover side. I wasn’t realizing (or had forgotten) that the Emlid Base and the Emlid Caster are not the same thing.
I have my base station showing as “online” now. And now my rover seems to be receiving Ntrip information and says it has RTK fix.
Does this mean my rover must be receiving
RTCM3 messages correctly? I’m using AgOpengps version 6.7 for my rover.

@pokemontractorbeam Awesome, happy to be of help! Nice to hear that everything is now working.
Yes. When your rover has a Fix solution, it means that it is receiving RTCM3 corrections and has reached centimeter-level accuracy.
Great. Thanks so much for your help.
