Very interesting.. 🙂
always pleasure to contribute something worthful ... did not have time to play with it yet, just found it yesterday and instantly wanted to share it with everybody else 😉 , hopefully next week will try it out.
they do indeed offer a few good programs for free there.
a side note: these guys deal with agriculture and have such a good contribution for us surveyors. I remember some farming association or so was protecting our GPS from Lightsquared better than we surveyors did. Comes out that we surveyors do owe them a lot 🙂
Surveyors are becoming or have become the minority user of lots of things that were traditionally their domain, GNSS for sure, likely LiDAR and who knows what else.
In same cases this can be good as in the LS debate as those other users have a much larger lobby and voice!

Ntrip Caster works perfect !! it is a treasure given to us for free 🙂
in Ntrip client you will have to know the Caster's PC IP address, this is external IP address, for this it is enough to visit http://www.whatismyip.org/ on the Caster's PC. For port I was using 5000.
It is trickier on Caster side when the PC is hoked to a wireless router and only than to a modem. You will have to create a Virtual Server in your Wireless router, it sounds scary but easy to do. Just log in to your router go to something like WAN -> Wirtual Server and specify the internal IP address of your PC (if your router has this capability). The internal address can be obtained by running the following on command line: [inlinecode]ipconfig /all[/inlinecode]
If you are hooked directly to a modem you do not have to create the virtual server. There might be issues with firewall but I did not have any. Bellow are two clients connected, one is from my PC (the same machine where Caster is running) the other one is my friend (a surveyor from different town :))
A situation where I have like
10 stations (Trimble NetR8 CORS receivers) remotely
located without PC attachment to them,
but having internet connection.'
2. How do I connect these remote
stations to an Ntrip server so
as to connect them to an Ntrip
caster in our office?
3. Since the Ntrip server only
connect to the receiver via serial com-port
connected to the PC that is running
the Ntrip server.
you need to read up on M2M (machine to machine).
Thank you, everyone that have contributed.
Actually I have figured it out with the
receiver manual...because the Trimble NetR8 receivers
already have inbuilt Ntrip server, caster and client.
So that solves my problem since all those remote stations
have internet connections.
Thanks gschrock for your
information. Actually am using
it for my MSc.project and will like
to in-cooperate any additional services
this stuffs can do. Please I will come back to you
when I reach that stage.
2. Want to grow in this field...
