9 Interfacing
Communication with GNSS Compass is possible on the following ports:
l
Ethernet
l
9.2 Serial Interface
l
CAN
l
1PPS Signal
Each port has different input and output capabilities.
9.1 Ethernet
The Ethernet interface offers a 100 MBit port for connection to a network, router or laptop/computer. The
interface offers a
Web UI , as well as 4 (four) configurable data ports. Each Data Port
l
can be configured as a TCP Server, TCP Client or a UDP Client as detailed in 9.1.1 Ethernet Modes
l
can be configured with an Input and/or Output for a number of protocols as detailed in 9.1 Ethernet .
l
should only be used to establish a connection with a single remote computer/device at any one time.
