4.8. PO I NT-TO-PO I NT PROTOCOL (P2PP)
4.8 Point-to-Point Protocol (P2PP)
The PolaRx5S features a Point-to-Point Protocol (P2PP
*
) server, which emulates an I P link
over a serial port.
4.8.1 How to configure P2P Protocol
To start con fi guring the Point-to-Point Protocol, go to the Point-to-Point window as shown in
Figure 4-29
Figure 4-29: The Point-to-Point window
I n the current version, the receiver implements a single P2PP server, and the fi rst argument
(Server I D) can only take the value P2PP1 .
To enable the P2PP server, change the Mode setting to ’ Server ’ . Note that it is disabled by
default. Once the server is enabled, all the other P2PP settings can be con fi gured as shown in
Figure 4-30. The Port option allows to select the COM port to be used for the point-to-point
communication. Next the client and server
I P ’ s will need to be set. The Client I P sets the
I P address that will be given to the client (remote from the receiver ’ s perspective) when a
connection is established while the Server I P refers to the I P address that will be given to the
server (local from the receiver ’ s perspective) when a connection is established.
* Though sometimes abbreviated as PPP, this feature is referred to as P2PP in Septentrio receivers as to avoid
confusion with Precise Point Positioning.
