Chapter 7 NTRIP Configuration
An Ethernet capable OEM7 receiver can be configured as either an NTRIP server or an NTRIP client. An
OEM7 receiver using a Wi-Fi connection can be configured as an NTRIP client. For more information about

7.1 NTRIP Configuration Over Ethernet
The following procedure describes how to configure a NovAtel base and a NovAtel rover through a third party
NTRIP caster. This configuration is recommended for optimal RTK performance.
1. Establish a connection to the receiver using either NovAtel Application Suite or another terminal program.
This connection is used to send the commands in this procedure to the receiver.
For information about using NovAtel Application Suite, refer to docs.novatel.com/Tools .
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet ports on both OEM7 receivers. For this setup, use a cross-over
Ethernet cable.
3. Establish a static or dynamic Ethernet connection.
For information about creating the connection, refer to Static IP Address Configuration on page 114 or
