Products

RT Product name

The name of the RT product as configured on the GNSS Spider NWS.

Network server host

The hostname, IP address or DNS name of the machine running GNSS Spider NWS.

Network Server name

The locally defined GNSS Spider NWS name.

Only visible in the overview table.

Status

Current state of the RT product in NWS displayed via SBC:

• - Active: RT Product is enabled in NWS and streaming data. Can be deleted if unassigned to articles.

• - Inactive: Product is disabled; no data is provided. Can be deleted if unassigned to articles.

• - Deleted: Product was removed from GNSS Spider but remains in the SBC database. Will be deleted permanently if unassigned to articles.

Note: If products were deleted from SBC, both active and inactive products reappear after the next sync, while deleted products are permanently removed.

RTK server host

The hostname, IP address, or DNS name of the machine hosting the GNSS Spider RTK Proxy Server.

TCP port

The TCP port used by the RT product, e.g. when provided via Ntrip or TCP/IP.

Mount point

The Ntrip mount point of the RT Product from NWS. Displayed only for RT products configured as Ntrip; otherwise, it remains empty.

Site/Cell/Rover user name

Name of the reference site, cell, or rover, depending on the selected Type.

Authentication

The type of authentication required for the user to access the data stream (e.g. “Ntrip” or “GPUID”).

Message type

The selected Message Type of the RT Product from NWS, including Network RTK method descriptor, message format, RTCM version, and main message type numbers for RTCM message formats.

RTCM version

The version of the RTCM standard used by this product (for example, 2.x or 3.x).

Target coordinate system

The coordinate system for which RTCM transformation messages are sent to the rover with the correction stream.

Type

The RT product type: Single site, Nearest site, Multiple sites, Single cell, Automatic cell, and Single rover (NMEA redirect).

Send real time message to

Data channel used to send the RT product data stream (e.g., “Ntrip-Client”).

Maximum distance to provide corrections

Maximum allowed distance between rover and reference site. Corrections are denied if the limit is exceeded.

Prevent search during rover connection

When selected, the search for the master site (Automatic Cell) or nearest site (Nearest Site RT Products) occurs only at connection start, not during the connection, when, e.g., satellite availability changes.

Fallback when network is not available

Switches to a single-site solution when network RTK quality is insufficient and the single site provides better satellite availability.

Send NULLANTENNA

Indicates if corrections for this real time product are reduced to the antenna reference point (ARP) of the reference station antenna. If this is the case, the rovers must choose NULLANTENNA as the reference station antenna. This option is forced for all network correction methods (MAX, i-MAX, Virtual RS and FKP) and Nearest Site.

Re-check if rover moves more than

Distance threshold that triggers re-evaluation of the selected nearest site or automatic cell. Prevents frequent switching when the rover is near equal distances between sites.

Fallback when rover-master distance is shorter

Switches to a single-site solution when the rover is within a defined distance of the master site, where single-site RTK is more suitable than Network RTK.

Fallforward enabled

Automatically switches back to the network RTK solution once it becomes available or reaches sufficient quality. If disabled, the rover remains on the single-site solution after a fallback.

Code smoothing

Indicated if code smoothing is activated for the RT Product.

Satellite system

Lists enabled satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS).

Coordinate reference frame

The coordinate reference frame to which corrections refer to.

Emulate Leica receiver

If checked, corrections for this real-time product are adapted to emulate a Leica manufactured receiver.

This setting does support all rover equipment that is capable of handling Leica reference station data, but might not be capable to handle some of the other manufacturers receivers present in an inhomogeneous network, to make full benefit of GPS and GLONASS data.

Reference frame distortion smoothing

When this setting is enabled, distortions between reference frames of Physical and Product Marker coordinates are smoothed.
