Using the Web Server

• First, click on the

Connections> Ethernet submenu.

• Set the following Ethernet parameters to allow the receiver

to access the network through its Ethernet port:

–

DHCP: Enabling this option means the local network to
which the receiver is connected will automatically
allocate a dynamic IP address to the receiver. If this
option is disabled, you need to define the receiver’s
static

IP address, and give information about the local

network (

Subnetwork Mask and Gateway). You may need

to be assisted by a network expert -or IT Manager- to
define these parameters (as well as the three
parameters below).

If you activate the

DHCP option, then it’s a good idea to

define a hostname for your receiver and declare it to

DynDNS (see

DynDNS frame at the bottom of the page).

DynDNS is a free service that will make sure the

dynamic IP address allotted to the receiver by your ISP

is always attached to your receiver’s hostname. This

requires that you open an account on DynDNS. For

more information on this service, see

Creating an

Account on Dyn.com on page 91.

–

DNS 1 IP Address: Enter the IP address of the primary
DNS providing the correspondence between the
receiver server name and its IP address.

–

DNS 2 IP Address: Enter the IP address of the secondary
DNS providing the correspondence between the
receiver server name and its IP address

–

(

MAC Address is a read-only field showing the hardware

identification of the receiver’s Ethernet port.)

• Ignore the

Port I settings frame on the right.

• Click on the

Configure button to let the Web Server load all

your new parameters to the receiver.

• Unless already done, please follow all the steps described

in section General Parameters on page

68 before

proceeding with the steps below.

• Still on the

Base Setup page, make sure the Connection

fields in the

Serial Port x panes are all set to “None/Cable”

• In the

Network x pane, choose “Ethernet Direct IP - Port P”

in the

Connection field.

• Because the base is necessarily a client, enter the

information (

Connect Now, Address, Port) allowing it to

connect to the rover (the server) to which it is supposed to
deliver its corrections. No

Login or Password is needed in

this case.
