Connect one

  1. Turn the protocol on. Settings → Integrations → ASTERIX → enable.
  2. Set the address, in the Multicast group field. There is no default, so this one has to be filled in.
  3. Declare the device. Settings → Assets → ADD, find the product, pick this protocol. The address you set above is where it is expected to arrive.

The address format

ASTERIX runs over UDP multicast, UDP. These are the forms that parse:

TransportFormWhat it meansExample
UDP multicastudpmc:GROUP:PORTJoin a multicast group rather than dialling a host.udpmc:239.1.1.1:8600
UDPudpin:HOST:PORTWe bind and wait. The usual case: the device sends to us.udpin:0.0.0.0:14550
UDPudpout:HOST:PORTWe send to a fixed address and receive on the same socket.udpout:192.168.1.20:14550

When it is working

The radar appears in Settings → Assets with a live health state, and the Integrations row counts it. On the console, its returns start driving tracks within a few seconds.

If nothing arrives

SymptomWhere to look
Nothing arrives, and the row looks healthyNothing is reaching the address. Check the device is sending to this host and that no firewall sits between them.
It connects, then dropsTwo things are bound to the same port, or the device and the host disagree about which end dials. See the endpoint forms above.

The protocol itself

This one has no public specification to link to.
