NTRIP Provider Settings

The following table describes the different configuration parameters:

Parameter	Description
Mount Point‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ	The Mount Point is the data stream location of the NTRIP Provider. It can be found in NTRIP Provider Service table.
IP / URL	The IP Address or URL of the NTRIP Caster. It can also be found in NTRIP Provider Service table.
Port	Correction data format dependent Port of the NTRIP Caster. It can be found in NTRIP Provider Service table.
Username and Password	Credentials for the NTRIP Provider.
Recurrence time (min.)	Time span of resending the last received GPGGA Log from the ADMA to the NTRIP Provider.
Fixed Position Mode	Activate sending an emulated GPGGA Log with the configured Location to the NTRIP Provider. This provides correction data broadcast into the network without any GNSS or Ineratial System at the NTRIP Box.
DGNSS correction data forwarding via UDP	Activate sending the GNSS correction data to a specific ip address or via UDP broadcast into the network.

Recurrence Mode

When the Fixed Position Mode is not active, the NTRIP Box operates in Recurrence Mode. It remains idle until a valid GPGGA log is received, at which point it forwards it to the pre-configured NTRIP Provider. If the Box ceases to receive valid GPGGA Logs, it will continue resending the last valid log for the duration specified in the Recurrence time configuration.

Fixed Position Mode

The NTRIP Box sends an emulated GPGGA Log, that contains the current time and the position, that is configured manually. This makes it possible to run the NTRIP Box as a „Base Station“, without any GNSS Device connected.

SIM Card Settings

The following table describes the different configuration parameters:

Parameter	Description
PINㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ	If the SIM card is protected via PIN it has to be configured.
Automatic APN	In most of the cases, the NTRIP Box is able to select the APN automatically, but in some cases, manual configuration of APN is needed.
APN Authentication	In some cases APN’s need credentials.
