6 Configuring the Receiver: Other Than Keypad

and Display

The user can configure the P5 GNSS reference receiver to perform a wide variety of

functions. This chapter describes the configuration methods other than the front

panel display and explains when and why each method is used.

6.1 Configuring the Ethernet Settings

The receiver Ethernet port connects to an Ethernet network, through which the user

can access, configure, and monitor the receiver. No serial cable connection to the

receiver is necessary.

The receiver has the following Ethernet settings:

 IP address

 IP mask

 Gateway

 DNS server

 HTTP port

The default setting for the HTTP port is 80: This port is not assigned by the network.

HTTP port 80 is the standard port for web servers and enables the user to connect to

the receiver by entering only the receiver’s IP address (check the information from

the front panel) in a web browser.

For example, using port 80: http://192.168.32.132

If the receiver is set to use a port other than 80, the user must enter the IP address

followed by the port number in a web browser.

For example, port 9971: http://192.168.32.132:9971

Users can configure the Ethernet settings through the front panel (see 5.4. Setting up

the receiver as part of an Ethernet configuration) and a web server. To use a web

server, the user must connect the receiver to a network and conduct a valid Ethernet

configuration.

Notes: The receiver should be configured the Ethernet settings through the front

panel for its first connection to the Internet.
