3.1.10.2
USB Device
The USB Device port (Type micro-B) functions as three virtual serial ports.
3.1.11 Ethernet Port
The ProPak6 receiver is equipped with a 10-Base-T/100-Base-TX or 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port that
supports IPv4 Internet layer, TCP/IP transport and telnet. Users can conduct remote debugging, accept
MRTCA (modified RTCA) data and download firmware. The ProPak6 receiver is also equipped with
NTRIP Version 2.0 (Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol) client and server capability.
The Ethernet port must be configured before using. Refer to
Chapter 4, Ethernet Configuration
page 73 for configuration details.

Status LED
A computer may have several USB ports. The assignment of COM port numbers is tied
to a USB port on the computer. This allows receivers to be switched without Microsoft
Windows assigning new COM ports. However, if the receiver is connected to a different
physical USB port, Windows detects the receiver's presence and assigns three new
COM port numbers.
The Ethernet ports are Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) circuits only and are suitable
for connection within a building only. Do not connect them to Telephone Network
Voltage (TNV) circuits.
Issue the
SAVEETHERNETDATA ETHA
command to ensure port settings are retained
after a reset and automatically used at boot time. The
SAVEETHERNETDATA ETHA
command is not applicable to the ICOMCONFIG and NTRIPCONFIG command
settings. The
SAVEETHERNETDATA ETHA
command takes precedence over the
SAVECONFIG
command configuration.
The Ethernet port is the default port setting for internet access. If at any time the default
is changed to Wi-Fi or Cellular, the
SETPREFERREDNETIF ETHA
command must be
issued to return to using Ethernet for internet access. Refer to the
(OM-20000129) for command details.
