Background Information
The Ntrip caster allows data to be streamed into the receiver via Ntrip and distributed to several clients via a single TCP/IP port, User
authentication will be needed on the Ntrip source,but it is optional on the client side.
The Ntrip caster on GR/GM receivers allows authentication per mount point, not per user. This means that all clients connecting to one
mount point will be doing so with the same user name and password.
The Ntrip caster on GR/GM receivers not only steams out data, but also allows the distribution of data from other Ntrip sources. GR/GM
receivers can work as a standalone Ntrip casters.
Setting Description
The table below describes the settings in the caster tab.
Activate the Ntrip caster functionality. This allows the activation of mount points,
opening the Ntrip caster port and receiving/sending out data via Ntrip protocol.
Define the port number on which the Ntrip caster receives and distributes streaming
data.
The default port for the Ntrip caster is 2101.
If an Ntrip client with a very slow communication connection is connected to the
GR/GM Ntrip caster, data flow may be delayed and cause latency on all connected
clients.
Define the maximum latency allowed for each client. If this value is exceeded by one
client connection, this client is automatically disconnected, to prevent latency on all
other client connections. A message is shown in the event log when a client is
disconnected due to high latency.
The default value is 500ms.
