IPSERVICE

Configure availability of networks ports/services

Platform: 

OEM729, OEM7600, OEM7700, OEM7720, PwrPak7, CPT7, CPT7700, SMART7-I, SMART7-SI

Use the IPSERVICE command to configure the availability of specific network ports/services. When disabled, the service does not accept incoming connections.

On most OEM7 receivers, the FTP Server is disabled by default. The exception is the PwrPak7 which has FTP enabled by default.

We have found two problems in the Microsoft® FTP clients contained within the Internet Explorer® and Edge browsers which make them unsuitable for retrieving files from a NovAtel receiver. When using a Windows® computer to transfer files off a NovAtel receiver, we suggest using a 3rd party FTP client.

FTP_SERVER

FTP server port.

For most OEM7 receivers the default = DISABLE.
For the PwrPak7 the default = ENABLE.

A username and password is required to access the FTP server. The default username is admin. The default password for receiver cards is the receiver PSN. The default password for the PwrPak7 or CPT7 is the enclosure PSN. To change the default password, see the SETADMINPASSWORD command.

2

WEB_SERVER

Web server port

For most OEM7 receivers the default = ENABLE.
For the OEM7500 and OEM719 the default = DISABLE.

3

SECURE_ICOM

Enables or disables security on ICOM ports.

When security is enabled, a login is required as part of the connection process (see the LOGIN command).

Default = DISABLE

Security in this sense means users must supply a name and password before being allowed to enter commands on the ICOM ports. It does not mean there is data encryption

4

SOFTLOADFILE

Enables or disables SOFTLOADFILE.

By default the receiver will not allow the SOFTLOADFILE command to operate until it is enabled using the IPSERVICE command.
