1 How To...
1.11 Use the Built-In NTRIP Caster
The receiver contains an NTRIP caster, which is able to broadcast local data streams originat-
ing from the receiver itself, or streams from any remote NTRIP server. The hostname or IP
address of the built-in caster is as defined in section 1.1.3.
1.11.1 Broadcasting Local Streams
This section explains how to use the built-in NTRIP caster to broadcast a local stream gener-
ated by the receiver’s own NTRIP server.
1. Define the mount point you want to use for streaming the data. For example, the
following command enables the first mount point, gives it the name “MyMP”, and
specify that this mount point only accepts local streams:
setNtripCasterMountPoints, MP1, on, MyMP, No <CR>
2. Define the data format. For example, if the mount point defined above is meant to
stream RTCM v3.x corrections, use the following command:
setNtripCasterMPFormat, MP1, RTCMv3 <CR>
3. Define the NTRIP client accounts. For example, the command below enables an NTRIP
client connecting as user “u1” and with password “p1” to receive data from the first
mount point:
setNtripCasterUsers, User1, u1, p1, MP1 <CR>
4. Configure the local NTRIP server to send data to the mount point, as explained in sec-
tion 1.9. To have the local NTRIP server send data to the built-in caster, the hostname
has to be set to “localhost”. For example, to send data to the mount point “MyMP” of
the caster, use:
setNTRIPSettings,NTR1,Server,localhost, , , ,MyMP <CR>
5. Enable the built-in NTRIP caster:
setNtripCasterSettings, on <CR>
1.11.2 Broadcasting Remote Streams
To configure the caster to broadcast a stream originating from a remote NTRIP server, follow
the following steps.
1. Define the mount point. For example, the following command enables the first mount
point, gives it the name “MyMP”, and specifies the credentials that the remote NTRIP
server will need to use in order to feed data to this mount point (“FeedUser” and
“FeedPwd”):
setNtripCasterMountPoints, MP1, on, MyMP, Yes, FeedUser,
FeedPwd <CR>
2. Define the stream data format. For example, if the mount point defined above is
meant to stream RTCM v3.x corrections, use the following command:
