Remote Access Wizard: Configure Ntrip Server (Source) - Leica GR10 Operational Manual

Remote access wizard: Configure Ntrip server (source)

Background Information
This mode allows the receiver to act as the Ntrip Server and to initiate an active connection to an Ntrip site on the Leica Spider
site server or other OWI based tools.
In terms of TCP/IP, the Ntrip server mode is in fact a TCP client mode. As an Ntrip Server, the receiver connects to Leica
Spider or other OWI based tools and allows configuration.
Setting Descriptions
The table below describes the settings that can be configured on the Configure Ntrip server (source) page.
Setting Description
Ntrip caster IP
The IP address or hostname of the Ntrip caster to connect to.
address
The valid IP range is from 1.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255.
TCP/IP port Enter the TCP/IP port to connect to on the Ntrip caster.
Data receive time
If for a Spider / OWI connection no OWI requests are received within the specified time, the
out
connection will be automatically reinitialized. This will help keep the communication channel up
and running, especially when using an instable IP network environment, e.g. mobile networks.
If the timeout value is set to 0 (zero), there will be no automatic reinitialization (default setting).
Mount point Enter the mount point to connect this Ntrip source to.
The mount point is the identifier for the source on an Ntrip Caster. It is needed for Ntrip source
authentication.
Password Enter a password.
A password for authentication is required in order to connect to the mount point on the Ntrip
Caster.

Ntrip server connections
•
If the GR/GM receiver connects to the Spider Ntrip caster as an active site and tries to connect to a non-existing
mount point, the Spider Ntrip caster will return an "Invalid mount point" error message. The GR/GM receiver will try to
reconnect every 10s for 30 minutes.
•
If the GR/GM receiver connects to the Spider Ntrip caster as an active site and tries to connect to a mount point that
is already receiving data from another Ntrip server (source), the Spider Ntrip caster will return a "Mount point taken"
error message. The GR/GM receiver will try to reconnect every 10s for 30 minutes.
•
If the GR/GM receiver connects to the Spider Ntrip caster as an active site and tries to connect to a mount point
using a wrong password, the Spider Ntrip caster will return an "Authentication failed" error message. The GR/GM
receiver 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.
