Description
Each ADS-B ground station receiver requires a connection to the station manager. This is done by creating up to 65535 ground stations using the station manager (right click on the station manager and click NEW on the pop-up). Each station is assigned a GUID (the XXXX
in the GUID above is replaced by a hex number between 0001
and FFFF
).
Each ground station object when enabled will attempt to connect to the ADS-B hardware (or SDR) using the provided IP address or host name and port numbers. The state of the connection is provided as one of the properties (State) shown below.
