There is still some work to do, but it looks like this "will" produce good raw data when used with a new version of PP which we have also tested. the creator of Dump1090 for RPi has kindly developed a version for PC. We have been working for about ten days now on the raw data from the rtl dongles.Īs I advised some time back, previous extensive tests on the dongles revealed that they were not giving useable raw data for mlats even though they passed the basic tests.įollowing on from that we turned our attention to the dongles when used with the RPi and dump1090.these turned out to be more reliable.in fact an RPi dump1090 only SMU sector has been running well for quite a while. Maybe I need to check that tomorrow and report back.
PLANEPLOTTER SET UP ROUTER MANUAL
Now that the PP system (in my area at least) is so robust and auto Mlat's appear, there isn't (for me anyway) the need to carry out manual Mlat's so I actually don't know if that would work with my 3 set-up. There was some discussion about whether the mobile operators have all now changed to a shared system, as the main reason for me picking 3 was that they gave me a single WAN address that enabled me to use Mlat whilst mobile. If you get a unique WAN IP address then you should be OK to do your own manual Mlats, but if you get a NAT generated IP address i.e shared with others over a single WAN, then your 3G dongle won't get the replies to your Mlat requests as the real "router" at your ISP has not been configured (you can't do that anyway as you can't access it) to handle incoming packets from your Mlat requests so it won't work. Will Mlat work? Well that does depend on how your mobile provider allocates IP addresses. I think the figures you found of 450 Mb a month are a bit light, I also find that with hypersharing enabled on my mobile set-up the usage goes up. I get a 1 GB allowance for 30 days and last week I was at Heathrow for about 6 hours and used just over 100 MB of that allowance. I would like to use this router as it is wireless N and my Netgear DG834 is wireless G, but unless I can resolve these issues, it is too flaky to use.I use '3' .uk for my mobile usage.
PLANEPLOTTER SET UP ROUTER FULL
I have connected the Technicolor back up but not plugging in the phone line, so I can play around with settings etc without re-syncing the modem constantly.Īfter a power cycle, the Technicolor did accept my custom password (I had set a custom password again after the full reset), but every few seconds, it seems lo log me out of the router interface, and I have to log in again. I have now put my Netgear DG834G back online as I have lost confidence in the Technicolor for the moment. I was stuck and ended up doing a full reset to the router, losing the configuration I had spent a while doing. The DSL light was on, so it synced to the exchange, but no internet connection. It also wouldn't accept the default password that came with the router. The wi-fi password also didn't change, the custom one was still there.ġ92.168.1.254 took me to the router login as expected, but it wouldn't accept the custom password I had set. The custom SSID was still there, so the laptop connected to the wi-fi network (so it didn't lose that setting). Only to find that when I cycled power, I could no longer log into the router. Setting up dyndns, and my own router login password etc. I spent a while configuring my new Technicolor router today, setting my own wireless SSID and password. Thanks for all the replies but I may have to put this issue on hold as there seems to be a new issue. I would hate to go back to my old Netgear DG834G just because I can't resolve this issue, as the Technicolor seems good so far.Īnyone have any thoughts, or similar experience, or even just brainstorming anything else I could try? I can't see any way to disable the 'Intrusion Detection' or to modify the settings. I am thinking I may have set up the port forwarding correctly, but that the UDP traffic is being rate limited by the router. I then checked the Technicolor 'Intrusion Detection' settings (which are enabled by default), and in the list, it shows 'UDP Rate Limiting' with a count of 31.
PLANEPLOTTER SET UP ROUTER PC
I have then associated that application with the IP address of the PC running Planeplotter. I have fixed the IP address of the PC running Planeplotter, and configured the Technicolor with a new application called 'PlanePlotter', and set the UDP and TCP port range to 9742, forwarding to 9742. I run an application called PlanePlotter that requires me to ensure UDP port 9742 traffic is forwarded.
I have just received the Plusnet Technicolor modem/router and have it working fine (for the most part).
