Confirming Ethernet Setup

1. Connect the computer to the OEM6 receiver using an Ethernet cross-over cable.
See Figure 28, Cross-Over Ethernet Cable Configuration—OEM628 and OEM638 on Page 74 or
Figure 29, Cross-Over Ethernet Cable Configuration—FlexPak6 on Page 75.
2. Connect to the receiver using NovAtel Connect or any third party terminal program that supports
TCP/IP connections. Use the static IP address and port number assigned to the OEM6 receiver in
Section 6.2.1 Static IP Address Configuration—Receiver on page 75.

Dynamic IP Address Configuration

For this configuration, a direct connection is made from the OEM6 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. Use this
configuration in a bench test environment to confirm Ethernet functionality.
Figure 30, Dynamic IP Address Configuration through a DHCP Server—OEM628 and OEM638 on Page
79 and Figure 31, Dynamic IP Address Configuration through a DHCP Server—FlexPak6 on Page 79
show the connections when an OEM6 receiver uses a dynamic IP address configuration.
