NTRIP Configuration
Network Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol (NTRIP) is an application protocol used to stream GNSS
differential correction data over the internet.
An OEM6 receiver can be configured as either an NTRIP server or an NTRIP client. For more information
about NovAtel’s NTRIP, refer to

The NTRIP caster is an HTTP internet service that acts as a communication medium between NTRIP servers
and NTRIP clients. The NTRIP caster is provided by third party sources. For a full list of NTRIP casters, refer
to the following link:

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 Connect or another terminal program such as
Windows HyperTerminal. This connection is used to send the commands in this procedure to the
receiver.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet ports on both OEM6 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
Section 6.2, Static IP Address Configuration
Section 6.3, Dynamic IP Address Configuration
For information about establishing a connection using NovAtel Connect, refer to the
Quick Start Guide for the product or NovAtel Connect Help.
