Until recently, Direct IP connections from Magellan rovers
were possible only with third-party reference stations.
Today, with the Magellan RTDS
your own base transmitting its corrections to your rovers
through a Direct IP connection.
In this configuration, the RTDS software serves as the
relaying device between the base and the rovers. The
presence of a relaying device is required because modems are
assigned an IP address by the network when they connect to
it, and this IP address cannot be know ahead of time for both
modems. The RTDS software solves this problem by providing
a fixed IP address that base and rover modems can
communicate through.

• The computer used to run the RTDS software is Internet-
accessible through a static IP address and one or two port
numbers.
• Several instances of the RTDS software can be run on the
same computer, meaning the same computer can serve as
data relay for several bases.
