OEM7 Installation and Operation User Manual v1 77
Chapter 5 Ethernet Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the Ethernet port on an OEM7 receiver. It provides the
step-by-step process 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.
Ethernet is not available on the OEM719.
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 OEM7 Commands and Logs
Reference Manual (OM-20000169) for command details.
5.1 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, serial and USB port
l
an Ethernet capable OEM7 receiver
External Ethernet Magnetics are required for the OEM7 receiver cards. The OEM7
Development Kit can be used for Ethernet communication when connected to the
OEM7 receiver.
l
an RS-232 null modem cable or USB cable
l
one or two CAT5 Ethernet cables
l
a user supplied Ethernet network, hub or wired router (optional)
l
a GNSS antenna
l
a standard 5 meter 50 ohm TNC-to-TNC antenna cable
5.2 Static IP Address Configuration
For a static IP address configuration, unique IP addresses are assigned to both the OEM7
receiver and the computer. TCP/IP is used for the connection in this simple network. This con-
figuration 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 Figure
32: Cross-Over Ethernet Cable Configuration—OEM7 Receiver Card on the next page.
