TrimbleR10ReceiverWebHelp
IPAddress–EnterastaticIPaddressforthereceivertousewhenconnectedtoanetwork.This
fieldcannotbeeditedwhenusingDHCP.
Netmask–Enterthenetmaskforthenetworkthatthereceiverwillbeconnectedto.Thisfield
cannotbeeditedwhen
usingDHCP.
Broadcast–Thebroadcastaddressisforinformationalpurposes.Thisaddressallowspacketstobe
senttoalldevicesonanetwork.ThisfieldcannotbeeditedwhenusingDHCP.
Gateway–EntertheGatewayIPaddressforthenetworkthatthereceiverwillbeconnectedto .
This
istypicallytheLocalAreaNetworkIPaddressoftherouterthatlinksthereceivertothe
Internet.ThisfieldcannotbeeditedwhenusingDHCP.
Hostname–Enteranameforthedevice.Thisnamecanbeusedtoconnecttothereceiverovera
networkwhenDHCPisenabled
andtheIPaddressofthereceiverisunknown.
MTU–MaximumTransmissio nUnit.Thegreatestamountofdataor"packet"sizethatcanbe
transferredinonephysicalframeonanetwork.Thedefaultis1,500bytesandiscommon for
Ethernetanddial‐uplinks.
{b}Note–{/b}
ThesuggestedsmallestMTUis576.WhenMTUissetavaluelessthan576,
networkingactivityisnotguaranteedtowork.
ChangeConfiguration–Clicktoviewthestoredsettingsandresetthereceiveranychangestotake
effect.Ifyo udonotwanttochangethecurrentsettings,click
anyotherpage.
RenewDHCP–DHCPrenewisautomaticallydone,butyoucanalsodoitmanuallybyclickingthis
button.Also,clickthisbuttontorenewtheDHCPsettingsiftheserverhasrestarted.
CurrentSettings–Displaysthecurrentnetworkconfiguration.
Leasetime–Leasetimeis
assignedbytheDHCPserver;youcannotchangeit.Thisisfor
informationonlytoletyouknowhowlongbeforetheleaseisduetoexpire.Thereceiversystem
automaticallyrenewstheleasebeforeitsexpiration.
DNSConfiguration
UsethispageifyouneedtosetyourspecialDNSIPaddress.
IfthereceiverI/Oconfigurationisusinganydomainname(suchas“ntrip1.trimblehh.com”),the
receiverneedstoresolvethedomainnamestringtoanIPaddress;theDNSserverservesthat
purpose.Manysystems,suchastheMicrosoft
Windowsoperatingsystem,havetwoDNSIP
addresses;primaryDNSandsecondaryDNS.IftheprimaryDNScannotbereached,thesecondary
DNSisused.IfthesecondaryDNSalsofails,thenthedomainnamecannotberesolvedandthe
systemcannotreachthespecifiedaddress.
Usuallywhenareceiver
isconfiguredinDHCPmode,theDHCPserverassignsanIPaddresstothe
receiveralongwithaDNSIPaddress(bothprimaryandsecondaryDNS).Bydefault,thereceiver
usestheDHCPassignedDNSaddress.Youdonothavetodoanythingonthissettingspageunless
youdonot
wanttousetheassignedDNSIPaddress.
Ifthereceiverisconfiguredasstaticmode,youmustconfiguretheDNSaddressinadditiontothe
EthernetConfiguration
pagewhereyouconfiguretheIPaddress,Netmask,Broadcast,Gateway,
hostname,andMTUsettings.
