Advanced Navigation GNSS Compass - 9 Interfacing; 9.1 Ethernet; 9.1.1 Ethernet Modes

9 Interfacing
Communication with GNSS Compass is possible on the following ports:
l
Ethernet
l
9.2 Serial Interface
l
CAN
l
1PPS Signal
Each port has different input and output capabilities.
9.1 Ethernet
The Ethernet interface offers a 100 MBit port for connection to a network, router or laptop/computer. The
interface offers a Web UI, as well as 4 (four) configurable data ports. Each Data Port
l
can be configured as a TCPServer, TCPClient or a UDPClient as detailed in 9.1.1 Ethernet Modes
l
can be configured with an Input and/or Output for a number of protocols as detailed in 9.1 Ethernet.
l
should only be used to establish a connection with a single remote computer/device at any one time.

Description Required Con-
figuration
TCPServer GNSS Compass will establish a TCPServer listen-
ing on the defined port. A connected client is able to
receive Output data and send Input data based on
the defined Input and Output functions.
Port
TCPClient GNSS Compass will continuously attempt to estab-
lish a TCPconnection to the defined Destination IP
and Port. Once established, a connected client is
able to receive Output data and send Input data
based on the defined Input and Output functions.
