5.6. ETH interface
The Navsight processing unit port features an Ethernet 100BASE-T interface. This interface is used for the
device installation and configuration through an embedded web page.
This Ethernet interface is a key feature of the Navsight solution as it provides the following services:
●
A Bonjour service used to easily discover any connected Ekinox and get its IP address
●
An embedded web interface used to configure the device and visualize output data
●
An FTP access to download logs recorded in the internal Flash memory
●
Five virtual serial ports Eth0 to Eth4 that support either UDP or TCP/IP protocols
5.6.1. Accessing the Navsight web page
Thanks to the ZeroConf technology, you can easily access the web page using the Navsight serial number.
Indeed, the Navsight broadcast a web service so you can connect to the configuration web page using the
following address:
http://navsight_020000001.local.
Where 02000001 is the device serial number. It can be found on a label located on the enclosure's right side.
If your web browser supports DNS Service Discovery such as Safari, you should directly see a link to all
Ekinox devices available on the network.
Note 1: Please, don't forget to append the last “.” character to get a valid URL address.
Note 2: For more details about the Ethernet interface capabilities, please read the Ellipse Ekinox and
Apogee Technical Reference Manual.
Browser Compatibility: SBG Systems recommend using latest version of Chrome, Safari, Firefox or
Edge web browsers. Due to Internet Explorer limitations, only versions 10 and above are supported.
