Using a TCP/IP
Connection to
Communicate With
a Receiver
The most convenient way of communicating with a receiver
through an IP connection is to access its Web Server using a
web browser. This is explained in
Chapter 2 . Other solutions
are however possible.
One of the most popular programs used to work in command
mode through a TCP/IP connection is Microsoft
HyperTerminal. This is the program we chose for the
instructions below but you can use any other similar program
of your choice.
• Run HyperTerminal on the remote computer (in
Start>
Programs>Accessories>Communications>
)
• Name the connection and press
OK
• In the
Connect using
field, select “TCP/IP (Winsock)”.
• Enter the receiver’s IP address in the
Host Address
field. If
you don’t know this address, you can read it on the
receiver display screen. Press the Scroll button until you
display the Receiver Identification screen. The IP address
is shown in the lower line.
• Enter the chosen IP port number (default: 8888) in the
Port number
field.
• Click
OK
. You get the following reply from the connected
receiver:
Welcome!
You are connected to the Ashtech receiver (SN:xxxxxxxxx). Please send the
command $PASHS,TCP,UID,<login>,<password> to enter the login and the
password
