To add a new base or network address, select in the Name field and replace the “” text with what you
want to call the connection and fill out the Address and Port fields. Most modems support either an IP address (Ex:
192.202.228.252) or a URL address (Ex: www.basenetwork.com ).
UDP Direct:
This works exactly like the TCP Direct option but uses UDP protocol instead of TCP. Most networks use
TCP.
NTRIP:
This option is for base networks that support NTRIP protocol. Pressing the Configure button shows the
NTRIP Broadcasters (Also called Casters) that have been previously connected to.
The default is for rtcm-ntrip.org which if connected to will download information about many Broadcasters (casters) all
over the world. They will be shown the next time NTRIP Configure is selected. Select an existing caster or select
in the Name combo box and replace with a different name and fill out the other information. If the Default User
and Password fields are filled out, they will be used as the default user name and password for all the bases at that
caster.
When the green checkbox is selected, FAST Survey will have the modem connect to the address of the Broadcaster and
establish a connection. The Broadcaster then supplies a table of bases (also known as mountpoints) available at that
Broadcaster. FAST Survey puts the table of bases into the next window that comes up.
