Chapter 6 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.
In this chapter, references to OEM7 receivers includes the SMART7-I.
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
Agriculture Commands and Logs Reference

Required Hardware

The following hardware is required to set up an Ethernet interface to an OEM7 receiver:
a user supplied computer with an available Ethernet or serial
l
an Ethernet capable OEM7 receiver
l
an RS-232 null modem 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 coaxial antenna cable (50 Ω)

6.2 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
31: Cross-Over Ethernet Cable Configuration—OEM7 Receiver on the next page.
