Dynamic IP Address Configuration


The ProPak6 default is Ethernet DHCP Dynamic IP address.
For this configuration, a direct connection is made from the ProPak6 receiver to a Dynamic Host
Communication Protocol (DHCP) network and into a computer. The DHCP server automatically assigns
an IP addresses to the OEM6 receiver, based on its predetermined available IP addresses.
To set up a dynamic IP address configuration, follow these steps:
1. For first time configuration, connect a computer to the ProPak6 receiver using a null modem serial
cable or USB cable.
2. Establish a connection to the receiver using either NovAtel Connect or another terminal program
such as Windows HyperTerminal. This connection is used to send the commands in this procedure to
the receiver.
