I’m trying to set up my RTK Mosaic-X5 as an NTRIP server, but I’d prefer it to have a static IP.
It’s for a field application where I don’t consistently have a DHCP server available.
I set the Ethernet config in the Mosaic-X5 web config to static with my desired IP address and subnet, but this setting does not seem to persist after reboot. The greyed-out data is there, but the Mosaic is set back to DHCP mode.
Is there a trick to keeping it in static IP mode? The OLED display makes me think it’s being reset to DHCP on boot, independent of storing Mosaic X5 settings to the Boot Configuration.
Are you using Mode 2 - WiFi? If so, then yes, the ESP32 firmware will always set the X5 Ethernet port to DHCP.
If you’re using Mode 1 - Ethernet, the ESP32 should leave the X5’s Ethernet settings unchanged.
Please let us know which Mode you are in, and which version of the ESP32 firmware you are running. The version (and Mode) will be shown on the OLED briefly at startup, you may need to take a video to capture it. They’re also printed to the CONFIG ESP32 serial console at startup.
The Ethernet settings are saved by the X5. You don’t need to copy the Configuration (from Current to Boot) to save them, it’s done for you. You can confirm the settings with the lstInternalFile,Ipparameters command.
