The figure below shows the New Connection window in NovAtel Connect with the example Ethernet
settings used in
Section 6.2.1 .
6.3 Dynamic IP Address Configuration
For this configuration, a direct connection is made from the OEM6 receiver to a Dynamic Host
Communication Protocol (DHCP) network and into a computer. The DHCP server automatically assigns
an IP addresses to the OEM6 receiver, based on its predetermined available IP addresses. Use this
configuration in a bench test environment to confirm Ethernet functionality.
