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 CPT7 and CPT7700.
The

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 configuration 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
