Chapter 1 Web User Interface
The NovAtel Web User Interface (UI) is used to monitor, configure and update a variety of receiver functions via
Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
Once communications has been established with the receiver, the NovAtel Web UI can be opened on any device
with a web browser such as a smart phone, laptop, etc.
1.1 Open the Web UI
Once the receiver is connected and powered, locate the PwrPak7 in the list of detected Wi-Fi Networks and
establish a connection. The PwrPak7 SSID is printed on a label on the bottom of the receiver. The format of the
SSID is PwrPak7-<Receiver PSN>, e.g. "PwrPak7-ABCDEF1234567".
The NovAtel Web User Interface is compatible with Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
A prompt for a password will appear. On the bottom of the PwrPak7 the default password, specific to that
PwrPak7 unit, is printed on the label. The default password can be changed. Refer to Network Settings Button
for details.
OEM7 receiver cards can also use the Web UI via an Ethernet connection. No password is required as
long as the card is connected and has an IP address.
Cookies should always be on and never blocked on the browser being used to connect to the Wi-Fi
network.
After a Wi-Fi connection is established, open a web browser and navigate to the receiver's URL, which is
192.168.19.1 by default. The receiver WebUI homepage opens.
More advanced monitoring, configuring and updating can be performed using any terminal/command line
application (including the terminal of the NovAtel Web UI).
1.2 Web UI Main Window
The user interface for the Web UI is built using a responsive layout so computers, phones and devices of all
sizes automatically display to size in the device window. If opened on a desktop/laptop, the Status Windows for
all features are automatically displayed. If opened on a mobile device, the windows are closed and just the tabs
are displayed.
