Chapter 6 Ethernet Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the Ethernet port on an OEM7 receiver. It provides the step-by-step pro-
cess 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.
In this chapter, references to OEM7 receivers includes the SMART7-I and SMART7-SI.
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
.
6.1
Required Hardware
The following hardware is required to set up an Ethernet interface to an OEM7 receiver:
l
a user supplied computer with an available Ethernet or serial
l
a GNSS antenna
l
an Ethernet capable OEM7 receiver
l
an RS-232 null modem cable
l
one or two CAT5 Ethernet cables
l
a user supplied Ethernet network, hub or wired router (optional)
l
a coaxial antenna cable (50 Ω)
6.2 Static IP Address Configuration
For a static IP address configuration, unique IP addresses are assigned to both the OEM7 receiver and the com-
puter. TCP/IP is used for the connection in this simple network. This configuration 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
