Ethernet Ports

OEM7 receivers have a 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet port for communications with external data communications equipment such as computers and data loggers. The Ethernet port supports IPv4 Internet layer, TCP/IP transport and telnet. Users can conduct remote debugging, accept MRTCA (modified RTCA) data and download firmware. OEM7 receivers are also equipped with NTRIP Version 2.0 (Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol) client and server capability.

The OEM7 receiver cards do not have Ethernet magnetics or an RJ45 connector. If using the OEM7 Ethernet connectivity, the distance between the OEM7 receiver and the magnetics must be no more than 10 inches (25.4 cm), and the distance between the magnetics and the jack must be no more than 1.5 inches (3.8 cm).

The OEM7 uses the Texas Instruments TKL106 Ethernet PHY. Follow Texas Instruments’ recommendations for transformer selection.

If the Ethernet port is being routed outside of the enclosure, an interface circuit is needed. For an example of an Ethernet interface circuit, see Ethernet Port.

See OEM729 Technical Specifications, OEM7600 Technical Specifications, OEM7700 Technical Specifications and OEM7720 Technical Specifications for further information on Ethernet specifications and pin assignments.

Ethernet is not available on OEM719 receivers.

Refer to Ethernet Configuration for instructions on configuring Ethernet and NTRIP.
