• If an Ntrip server (source) connects to the Ntrip caster and tries to connect to a non-existing mount point, the Ntrip caster will
return an “Invalid mount point” error message. If the Ntrip server (source) is a GR/GM receiver, it will try to reconnect every
10s for 30 minutes.
• If an Ntrip server (source) connects to the Ntrip caster and tries to connect to a mount point that is already receiving data from
another Ntrip server (source), the Ntrip caster will return a “Mount point taken” error message. If the Ntrip server (source) is a
GR/GM receiver, it will try to reconnect every 10s for 30 minutes.
• If an Ntrip server (source) connects to the Ntrip caster and tries to connect to a mount point using a wrong password, the Ntrip
caster will return an “Authentication failed” error message. If the Ntrip server (source) is a GR/GM receiver, it will not try any
reconnects.
• If an Ntrip server (source) is connected to the Ntrip caster and no data is received from the source for more than 15 s, the
Ntrip caster will disconnect the Ntrip server (source). This is necessary as it may happen that an Ntrip server (source)
disconnection may not be done properly, leaving the Ntrip caster assuming that the connection is still available. If the Ntrip
server (source) now tries to reconnect, a “mount point taken” message would be issued and the connection not be allowed.
To prevent this, the connection is regularly checked for data transmission. Please make sure the data stream sent to the Ntrip
caster has a rate higher than 15 s. If the connected Ntrip server (source) is a GR/GM receiver, it will continuously try to
reconnect every 5 s.
Ntrip client connections:
• If an Ntrip client connects to the Ntrip caster and tries to connect to a non-existing mount point or a mount point that does
exist but is currently not receiving any data from an Ntrip server (source), the Ntrip caster will return an “Invalid mount point”
error message. If the Ntrip client is a GR/GM receiver, it will continuously try to reconnect every 5 s.
• If an Ntrip client connects to the Ntrip caster and tries to connect to a mount point using a wrong user name or password, the
Ntrip caster will return an “Authentication failed” error message. If the Ntrip client is a GR/GM receiver, it will try to reconnect
every 5 s for 30 s.
• If a GR/GM receiver Ntrip client is connected to the Ntrip caster and no data is received from the Ntrip caster for more than 15
s, the Ntrip client will assume that the connection is not valid anymore. This is necessary as it may happen that the connection
from the Ntrip caster to the Ntrip client may be interrupted, leaving the Ntrip client assuming that the connection is still
available. Please make sure the data rate connected to the Ntrip caster is higher than 15 s. If the connected Ntrip client is a
GR/GM receiver, it will continuously try to reconnect every 5 s.

Background Information
This page provides an overview of the mount points configured on the Ntrip caster.
A mount point can be activated and deactivated. When deactivated, no client or source connections are allowed.
Configure new mount points including user authentication and the data type (as it will appear in the source table) by pressing Creating
new mount point .
