ICOMCONFIG

Configures IP virtual COM port

Platform: 

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

This command is used for Ethernet set up and to configure the transport/application layer of the configuration.

Access to the ICOM ports can be restricted by turning on ICOM security using the IPSERVICE command.

Message ID: 1248

Abbreviated ASCII Syntax:

ICOMCONFIG [port] protocol [endpoint [bindinterface]]

Factory Default:

ICOMCONFIG ICOM1 TCP :3001

ICOMCONFIG ICOM2 TCP :3002

ICOMCONFIG ICOM3 TCP :3003

ICOMCONFIG ICOM4 TCP :3004

ICOMCONFIG ICOM5 TCP :3005

ICOMCONFIG ICOM6 TCP :3006

ICOMCONFIG ICOM7 TCP :3007

ASCII Example:

ICOMCONFIG ICOM1 TCP :2000 All

Due to security concerns, configuring and enabling ICOM ports should only be done to receivers on a closed system, that is, board-to-board. NovAtel is not liable for any security breaches that may occur if not used on a closed system.

Description

1

DISABLED

Will disable the service

2

TCP

Use TCP

The TCP protocol option provides a one to one connection between an OEM receiver and a client.

3

UDP

Use UDP

4

TCP_SERVER

Allow multiple TCP connections

The TCP_SERVER protocol option provides one to many connections so several clients can connect to the same ICOM port. All clients receive the same OEM receiver output, including command responses. When an ICOM port is configured as a TCP_SERVER, it is suggested to not issue commands on the ICOM port or have responses disabled (see INTERFACEMODE command).

There is a maximum of 20 TCP client connections to the receiver using ICOM ports configured as TCP_SERVER.
