MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION
Send Position Enables or disables transmission of CoT packets to server
Server IP Defines the IP address of the CoT server - This IP address can be a unicast or
multicast address
Server Port Defines the UDP port of the CoT server
Type Defines the contents of the CoT “type” attribute
CURSOR ON TARGET (COT) SETTINGS
(ADVANCED)
This feature enables transmission of local
positioning information to a CoT server on
the network. This feature is not available on
all firmware versions.
SIMPLE SA PACKET GENERATOR (SSPG) (ADVANCED)
These settings exist for backwards compatability with an outdated protocol. See
earlier versions of the manual for more information.
Visualization
Server
(advanced)
Defines the IP address to which nodes will send their visualization updates
(may be either a multicast address [224.0.0.0,239.255.255.255] or the unicast
address of a device running the visualization server.) - The factory default is a
multicast address. When using multicast, each node sends visualization updates
to the entire connected network. All nodes run a visualization server and receive
updates from all other connected nodes. When using unicast, each node sends
visualization updates to the selected address only. If the unicast address is the
management IP address of a node, that node will run a visualization server
to receive the updates. Visualization updates are sent from the management
IP address, so the selected address must be reachable by all nodes with
visualization enabled; it should be either in the same subnet or reachable
through the default gateway. Multicast operation allows the most robust
visualization for mobile networks because it provides true distributed operation
with partitions and merges. Unicast operation requires all visualization users to
be able to contact the selected server, but offers reduced network overhead for
larger static networks.
