Connectors page
In openSPOT4 terms, a connector is the protocol which you use to connect the
openSPOT4 to a server.
The easiest way to choose which connector to select is using the Quick Setup.
You can activate a connector by selecting it from the Edit connector list and
clicking on the Switch to selected button. You can edit a connector's settings
by selecting it from the Edit connector list. Don't forget to click on the Save
button after changing a connector's settings.
Notes on connectors
Each connector has its own assigned RX/TX frequencies and modem modes.
These frequencies and modem modes will be used when the connector
becomes activated.
Some connectors have Add server and Remove buttons. These can be used to
add and remove custom servers in the server list. Note that these custom
servers are stored in the browser's local storage (they won't show up using
another browser).
Some connectors have a Keepalive interval setting. This means the server
requires the openSPOT4 to periodically send keepalive messages to the server.
The RX timeout setting specifies the time after the last received valid network
packet needed for the openSPOT4 to consider the connection is dead and it
should reconnect. If the openSPOT4 frequently disconnects from the server, try
increasing the RX timeout.
If a connector has both the Keepalive interval and RX timeout settings, then
make sure the RX timeout is set to a greater value than the
*Keepalive interval
.
The Connect retry interval sets the delay between server connect retries.
As a general rule, try to use a server nearest to your location to avoid packet
loss and high latency.
Please see the Connectors section for more information about each connector.
