Ethernet Communications; Icom Communications - Novatel SMART7 Installation And Operation Manual

SMART7 Operation
Communicating using a Computer
A computer can emulate a remote terminal as well as provide the added flexibility of supporting
multiple command batch files and data logging storage files. Use any standard communications
software package that emulates a terminal to establish bidirectional communications with the
receiver. Examples include NovAtel Connect and PuTTY. All data is sent as raw 8-bit binary or
ASCII characters.
Refer to Communicating with the Receiver on the next page for details.

3.1.2 Ethernet Communications

equipped with a 10-Base-T/100-Base-TX Ethernet port that supports IPv4 Internet layer, TCP/IP
transport and telnet. Users can conduct remote debugging, accept MRTCA (modified RTCA) data
and update firmware. OEM7 receivers are also equipped with NTRIP Version 2.0 (Networked
Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol) client and server capability.
The Ethernet port must be configured before using. Refer to Ethernet Configuration on page 91
for configuration details.
The Ethernet ports are Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) circuits only and are suitable for
connection within a building only. Do not connect them to Telephone Network Voltage
(TNV) circuits.
If intra-building connections are required, or the OEM7 receiver is installed in an outdoor
enclosure, a suitably rated Ethernet router or switch should be installed between the
receiver Ethernet port and the network connection.
Issue the SAVEETHERNETDATA ETHA command to ensure port settings are retained
after a reset and automatically used at boot time. The SAVEETHERNETDATA ETHA
command is not applicable to the ICOMCONFIG and NTRIPCONFIG command set-
tings. The SAVEETHERNETDATA ETHA command takes precedence over the
SAVECONFIG command configuration.

3.1.3 ICOM Communications

ICOM ports are virtual ports used for Ethernet connections. The transport/application layer of
the ICOM ports can be configured to use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for internet IP or
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) a slower and less reliable IP protocol.
Refer to DNSCONFIG command for Ethernet DNS configuration. If using DHCP, DNS is auto-
matically set.
The following are the default ICOM configurations:
ICOMCONFIG ICOM1 TCP :3001
l
ICOMCONFIG ICOM2 TCP :3002
l
ICOMCONFIG ICOM3 TCP :3003
l
ICOMCONFIG ICOM4 TCP :3004
l
ICOMCONFIG ICOM5 TCP :3005
