By default the
Caster Hostname or IP Address
field shows the
local IP address of the receiver (the one that can be read
on the receiver display screen).
If the Ethernet port is set to work in DHCP and you have
declared a hostname on the DynDNS site, then the field
should be updated to hold that hostname.
If on the contrary, the public IP address to communicate
with the receiver is a static address, then it should be
known to the station administrator and entered in that
field.
By default the
Caster Port Number
field reads “2101”. This
value should not normally be changed.

Define a password that NTRIP servers will have to provide
for being authorized to connect to the NTRIP caster as

Maximum Simultaneous Connections per User
field to
increase the number of connections a user can make at a

Click on
Embedded NTRIP Caster > Mount Points
. Use this tab
to define all the mount points the NTRIP caster will have
to manage. Behind each mount point is a base station
installed at a given location and generating a given data
format.
While most of the data presented to define a mount point
are mostly informative (identifier, data format,
approximate location of the base, country, fee indicator),
the
Name
field on the contrary is the key parameter
through which the NTRIP caster will organize the
connections between NTRIP servers and NTRIP clients
(users). So each mount point name should be chosen to
depict as accurately as possible the source of corrections
available through the mount point. Making all those
names as short as possible is also recommended for the
convenience of NTRIP clients.
For example, the mount point corresponding to a base
station installed near the town of Balville and generating
