The ORGN is experiencing problems with one of its servers since approximately 13:50 PST, Dec. 5. Our IT personnel are working on the issue. No real-time correctors will be available from the ORGN until further notice. We will send out an announcement via e-mail and this website when the problem is fixed. RINEX files are still being created and are available for download.
 

Update - 12/07/11:

Oregon Real-time GPS Network (ORGN) Alert Update:

The servers for the ORGN are still being diagnosed by our IT personnel so no real-time correctors are available from the ORGN. Our IT personnel are working on the issue but can't give us a time line on when the problem will be solved. We will send out a notice to all when real-time correctors are again available.

RINEX fiiles are still being created and pushed to our internet site, www.theORGN.net , where they are available for download.

Station PKDL Parkdale is down due to construction, antenna was removed to replace existing roof. Construction is suppose to take a week or so depending strongly on weather.

11/19/11

ORGN users have been using the IP address of 167.131.0.205 since 2006 to access the ORGN real-time correctors via cell modem. This old IP address will be decommissioned at 6:30 pm PDT, on Friday, August 26, 2011 and not be usable after that.

A new, simpler DNS address has been assigned for rovers to access the ORGN:

ORGN.ODOT.STATE.OR.US (not case-sensitive)

Or alternatively, for use in rovers that do not allow alpha input into the IP field:

167.131.109.57

Important Note: The new alpha DNS can be used starting anytime; however, the numerical 167.131.109.57 IP address cannot be used until the change over time of 6:30 pm PDT, August 26, 2011, when the old numeric IP address will be decommissioned. After 6:30 PM PDT on August 26, only the new ORGN.ODOT.STATE.OR.US (or 167.131.109.57) address will be functional. Users will need to enter the new IP address in all of their rover configuration sets that use the ORGN in order to access the ORGN RT correctors after the switchover.

The ports and mount points for various real-time correctors will remain the same
 

See our ODOT support document for details on how to change the IP address for the ORGN in a Leica GPS 1200 rover. If you use a different make or model of rover, this document may give you some idea of how to configure your rover, but please contact your GPS vendor for rover specific configuration details.

The Plate Boundary Observatory will be performing maintenance on their NTRIP caster on Thursday morning, Nov 10, starting at 5:30 am until approximately noon.
This means that the ORGN will not be able to provide RT correctors from PBO sites during the maintenance period. We suggest you plan your field work around the PBO outage on Thursday.
 

We will send out another notice when the PBO caster is operational again after the maintenance.

The ORGN Partner Station PDXA is down due to communication issues. ODOT will be updating comms on October 18, 2011 and the Port of Portland will also be updating their receiver and antenna at that time. It will take several weeks to compute a new position. This will not affect the ability to use the ORGN in the Portland area because of the redundancy of stations in the Portland Vancouver area.

Sorry for the inconvenience we will keep you informed as issues arise and changes are made.

The ORGN is down Due to Network Computer issues, we are working on the issue.

Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) is updating their caster software, they expect to be done by September 30, 2011. This will affect many of our Networks, but mainly the Southern Oregon Coast.

We are experiencing problems with one of our ORGN serves, causing a widespread outage in real-time correctors.  Our IT folks are rebuilding the servers and hope to have it completed today.  We will send out updates as we get them from our IT department.

We are experiencing a problem with one of the ORGN servers. For users, this means that there are no ORGN RT correctors available in many parts of the state at this time. Our IT personnel are working on the issue and we will notify users when we have the problem fixed.

Due to multiple antenna and sensor swaps we are temporarily removing PDXA from our network”

Antenna position and communication issues need to be resolved before PDXA will be added back to the ORGN.

2/12/10

Deschutes County will be upgrading their GPS Network software on Friday, February 12, from 9:00 AM to Noon.

During this time, the ORGN will not be receiving data streams from stations Bend (BEND), Redmond (REDM), and Lapine (LAPN), so ORGN real-time correctors will not be available from those stations during the upgrade.

We will send out a second notice when the software upgrade is completed by Deschutes County and the three stations are streaming data again.
