Using the Web Server
–
DHCP
: Enabling this option means the local network to
which the receiver is connected will automatically
allocate a dynamic IP address to the receiver. If this
option is disabled, you need to define the receiver’s
static
IP address
, and give information about the local
network (
Subnetwork Mask
and
Gateway
). You may need
to be assisted by a network expert -or IT Manager- to
define these parameters (as well as the three
parameters below).
If you activate the
DHCP
option, then it’s a good idea to
define a hostname for your receiver and declare it to
DynDNS (see
DynDNS
frame at the bottom of the page).
DynDNS is a free service that will make sure the
dynamic IP address allotted to the receiver by your ISP
is always attached to your receiver’s hostname. This
requires that you open an account on DynDNS. For
more information on this service, see Creating an
Account on Dyn.com on page
84
.
–
DNS 1 IP Address
: Enter the IP address of the primary
DNS providing the correspondence between the
receiver server name and its IP address.
–
DNS 2 IP Address
: Enter the IP address of the secondary
DNS providing the correspondence between the
receiver server name and its IP address
– (
MAC Address
is a read-only field showing the hardware
identification of the receiver’s Ethernet port.)
• Ignore the
Port I settings
frame on the right.
• Click on the
Configure
button to let the Web Server load all
your new parameters to the receiver.
• Unless already done, please follow all the steps described
in section
General Parameters on page
67
before
proceeding with the steps below.
• Still on the
Base Setup
page, make sure the
Connection
fields in the
Serial Port x
panes are all set to “None/Cable”
• In the
Network x
pane, choose “Ethernet Direct IP - Port P”
in the
Connection
field.
• Because the base is necessarily a client, enter the
information (
Connect Now
,
Address
,
Port
) allowing it to
connect to the rover (the server) to which it is supposed to
deliver its corrections. No
Login
or
Password
is needed in
this case.
Enable
Connect Now
to allow the receiver to establish the
connection right after you have clicked on
Configure
.
