Ethernet Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the Ethernet port on an OEM7 receiver. It provides the
step-by-step process for connecting to the OEM7 receiver through the Ethernet interface, setting
up a base/rover configuration through Ethernet connectivity and utilizing the NTRIP interface.
The Ethernet port connections for a computer connected to the receiver are also described for
Windows 7 operating systems.
Ethernet is not available on the OEM719.
The
SAVEETHERNETDATA
command can be issued to retain the Ethernet
configuration settings after a RESET/FRESET command. The
ETHCONFIG
command and
IPCONFIG
command must be issued prior to using
SAVEETHERNETDATA
command. Refer to the
for command details.

5.2 Static IP Address Configuration
For a static IP address configuration, unique IP addresses are assigned to both the OEM7
receiver and the computer. TCP/IP is used for the connection in this simple network. This con-
figuration can also be used in a bench test environment to confirm Ethernet functionality.
For connections when an OEM7 receiver uses a static IP address configuration, refer to
