Setting the Base as an NTRIP Server
This page is an abridged version of the Base Setup-Full Setup page in which only the settings required to configure a base as an NTRIP server are presented. The base can serve as an NTRIP server for two external NTRIP casters, possibly delivering different data to each of the NTRIP casters, or for the embedded NTRIP caster.
Base
Use this area to enter the position of the base.
Parameter |
Designation |
$PASHS |
---|---|---|
Dynamic |
Necessarily static. |
DYN |
Station ID |
Choose and enter a station ID for your reference station, according to the type of differential messages it will generate: • 0-1023 (RTCM 2.3) • 0-4095 (RTCM 3.x and ATOM) • 0-31 (CMR & CMR+) |
STI |
“Get current position” button |
Click on this button if you want to allocate the last position computed by the receiver as the reference position for the base. As a result, the Lat/Lon/Height fields below are updated with the coordinates of this last computed position. |
CPD,MOD |
Latitude Longitude Ellipsoid Height |
Latitude, longitude and ellipsoidal height defining the reference position of the base. May be entered manually or using the “Get Current position” button. |
POS |
Antenna
Use this area to define the parameters of the antenna used physically at the base, as well as a virtual antenna if necessary. A virtual antenna may be defined to allow the base to deliver raw data as if it were collected with this antenna.
See the description of each parameter in the table below.

Designation |
$PASHS |
---|---|---|
Reference Position |
Select one of the options below to define the physical location of the base: • L1 phase center • Antenna Reference Point (ARP) • Ground mark |
ANR |
Measurement Type |
Specify the type of measurement (“Slant” or “Vertical”) through which the above antenna height was measured. |
ANH |
Antenna Height |
Enter the measured antenna height according to the measurement type used and the selected distance unit. |
ANT or ANH |
Receiver Antenna |
Select the name of the antenna used at the base. This antenna name can only be chosen from a list of antenna names stored in the receiver. UNKNOWN, NULLANTENNA, ADVNULLANTENNA are special definitions of antennas typically used as virtual antennas. |
ANP,OWN |
Antenna Radius |
(Only if “Slant Height” measurement type selected). Enter the antenna radius according to the selected distance unit. |
ANT |
SHMP Offset |
(Only if “Slant Height” measurement type selected). Enter the vertical offset of the Slant Height Measurement Point for the antenna used by the rover. Take care to enter this parameter in the selected distance unit. See also the Note below. |
ANT |
Virtual Antenna |
This parameter allows you to define a virtual antenna: • Select “Off” if you do not want to define one • If you want one, select the virtual antenna name for which you would like the receiver to deliver raw data, i.e. as if the raw data had been collected using this antenna. This antenna name can only be chosen from a list of antenna names stored in the receiver. This antenna name can only be chosen from a list of antenna names stored in the receiver. NULLANTENNA, ADVNULLANTENNA, etc. are the most commonly used virtual antennas. |
ANP,OUT |
Satellites
Use this area to define the constellations tracked by the base as well as the elevation mask applied to all constellations. See the description of each parameter in the table below.
Parameter |
Designation |
$PASHS |
---|---|---|
Recording and Output Elevation Mask |
Enter the elevation mask, in degrees, used by the receiver to determine which raw/differential data from each visible satellite should be recorded or output, depending on the elevation of the satellite. No data from any visible satellite located below this elevation angle will be recorded or output. |
ELM |
GPS |
Check this button to enable GPS tracking. Clear it otherwise. |
GPS |
GLONASS |
Check this button to enable GLONASS tracking (requires installed S option). Clear it otherwise. |
GLO |
SBAS |
Check this button to enable SBAS tracking.Clear it otherwise. |
SBA |
QZSS |
Check this button to enable QZSS tracking. Clear it otherwise. |
QZS |
GALILEO |
Check this button to enable GALILEO tracking. Clear it otherwise. |
GAL |
NTRIP Server 1
Use this area to declare the type of connection used by the base to deliver its data to an NTRIP caster via a mobile communication network (port E) or directly through the Internet (port P). See the description of each parameter in the table below.
Parameter |
Designation |
$PASHS |
---|---|---|
Connection |
Choose the type of network connection used in the receiver to connect to the NTRIP caster: • External NTRIP Caster via Modem: The base is connected to the Internet via its internal modem used in GPRS mode (port E used). • External NTRIP Caster via Ethernet: The base is directly connected to the Internet through its Ethernet port (port P used). • Embedded NTRIP Caster: (Available only if the NTRIP caster option is installed): The base delivers its data to the embedded NTRIP caster. |
MDM,.. NTR,PAR |
Connect Now |
Check this button to let the receiver perform the requested network connection after you have clicked on the Configure button. |
|
Address, Port, Mount Point, Password |
Enter the network information relevant to the NTRIP caster to which the base is expected to deliver its data. When the base delivers its data to the embedded NTRIP caster, there is no password or IP address needed. You only have to choose the mount point through which the data from the base will be made available to users through the NTRIP caster. |
|
Message |
Choose the type of message generated by the base. Then place the mouse cursor over the ”I” sign (to the right of the Message drop-down list) to read the details of the currently set messages. |

NTRIP Server 2
Use this area to declare the type of connection used by the base to deliver its data to a second NTRIP caster, directly through the Internet (port Q). See the description of each parameter in the table below.
Parameter |
Designation |
$PASHS |
---|---|---|
Connection |
Choose the type of network connection used in the receiver to connect to the NTRIP caster: • None: No connection to an NTRIP caster required • External NTRIP Caster via Ethernet: The base is directly connected to the Internet through its Ethernet port (port Q used). • Embedded NTRIP Caster: (Available only if the NTRIP caster option is installed): The base delivers its data to the embedded NTRIP caster. |
