Ntrip Caster: Caster Tab - Leica GR10 Operational Manual

Ntrip caster: Caster tab

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 the GR/GM series receiver 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 the GR/GM series receivers not only steams out data, but also allows the distribution of data from other
Ntrip sources. The GR/GM series receiver can work as a standalone Ntrip caster.

Ntrip connection behaviour
When working with the GR/GM receiver Ntrip caster, the following error scenarios for Ntrip server (source) and Ntrip client
connections may be seen:
Ntrip server connections:
•
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.
Description
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.
