Communications with the Receiver

Communication is established with the receiver using a data terminal or computer connected to one of
the receiver's serial ports using a null modem, USB or Ethernet cable.
When connected to the receiver, enter commands directly from the terminal or through terminal
emulation software (such as NovAtel Connect or HyperTerminal) on a computer.
To maximize the application of the receiver's capabilities, become familiar with the commands and logs
described in the OEM6 Family Firmware Reference Manual
