**************************** * Professional NtripCaster * **************************** Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~ NtripCaster is a server for GNSS data. - See document "INSTALL" for installation description. - The server can started through script "ntripcaster start" in the binary directory. Options "stop" and "restart" are available as well. - You can administrate the server through the admin console, that starts automatically after the startup sequence (when not started in background mode, which is the default). Type "help" for a list of available commands. - To access the server through a web browser, just enter the servername (or IP), the port and the mountpoint "/admin" as url (e.g. "http://ntripcaster.here.org:2101/admin"). - Go to the configuration directory and adapt the configurations files as needed. The default files should be installed with the extension ".dist" to allow testing own changes. Following files exist: ntripcaster.conf main configuration clientmounts.aut stream authentication for ntrip clients sourcemounts.aut stream authentication for ntrip sources (Ntrip 2.0) users.aut user definitions groups.aut group definitions sourcetable.dat the sourcetable containing stream information If you want to use user and password authenticated streams, you need to edit the .aut files accordingly. In these files you will find help about what can be specified there and how to do that. - Since version 2.0.10 you can run multiple instances one one installation. Create subdirectories in the configuration directory and use "ntripcaster start <dirname>" to handle the instances. You need to adapt the watchdog filename and the pidfilename accordingly. So /var/run/ntripcaster/caster.pid becomes /var/run/ntripcaster/caster_subdirname.pid and the watchdog file is handled alike. This way multiple instances are possible as long as the settings of each instance do not conflict.
