An Ethernet connection can be used to send commands to and obtain logs from Ethernet capable OEM6
receivers. An Ethernet connection can also be used to connect two receivers in a base/rover
configuration.
This chapter describes how to configure the Ethernet port on an OEM6 receiver. It provides the step-by-
step process for connecting to the OEM6 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 both Windows XP (with SP3)
and Windows 7 operating systems.

Required Hardware

The following hardware is required to set up an Ethernet interface to an OEM6 receiver:
• a user supplied computer with an available Ethernet, serial and USB port
• an Ethernet capable OEM6 receiver, such as an OEM628, OEM638 or FlexPak6

External Ethernet Magnetics are required for the OEM628 and OEM638 receiver cards.
The OEM Development Kit can be used for Ethernet communication when connected
to the OEM628 receiver.
• an RS-232 null modem cable or USB cable
• one or two CAT5 Ethernet cables
• a user supplied Ethernet network, hub or wired router (optional)
• one or two GNSS antennas
• one or two standard 5 meter 50 ohm TNC-to-TNC antenna cables

Static IP Address Configuration

For a static IP address configuration, unique IP addresses are assigned to both the OEM6 receiver and
the computer. TCP/IP is used for the connection in this simple network. This configuration can also be
used in a bench test environment to confirm Ethernet functionality.
For connections when an OEM6 receiver uses a static IP address configuration, refer to the following:
