HE NETWORK APPLIANCE CONCEPT
Traditionally, a GNSS receiver has one operator. That person is the only user
of the receiver so they can change settings without affecting other users.
With the P5E GNSS reference receiver, an operator can configure a receiver
once, and then make it available as a network appliance for general use by
one or more users (or clients).
This network appliance concept lets you set up the receiver to provide one
or more services that one or more users can access through a Local Area
Network (LAN) or a Wide Area Network (WAN), such as the Internet. Once
the receiver is set up, you need make only minimal changes, if any, to the
receiver configuration.
When the receiver is operating as a network appliance, it provides services
to all users attached to the receiver through the network.
Different streamed services may be configured on different ports, for
example, with differing data rates or data combination. To obtain a service,
the client has only to connect to a specific port. In this way, most users do
not need to control the receiver. Changing global settings, such as masks, will
affect all users of all services.
The receiver provides the following standard configuration and data logging
services:
Use... To perform...
HTTP All manual and automated configuration operations to manage
the logged data file space.

logged data file upload path.

ECEIVER SERVICES
The receiver can provide one or more streaming or query services over a
RS-232 serial port or a TCP/IP port:
• Streaming service
Anyone with authorized access can obtain streamed information, such
as GNSS measurements or RTCM corrections, without having to control
or issue commands to the receiver. The client simply connects to the
port that is streaming the required information.
