Disneyland 1972 Love the old s

Dashboard page.

When the NTRIP CASTER is running, all information about the connections and the speed for each socket will be printed out on the TX_UART0 port of the ESP32.

To make it easier to manage and monitor the status of the NTRIP CASTER. ESPrtk supports an online WEB Server that works at the same time as NTRIP CASTER.

Information will be automatically updated in real time (every 1 second).

This feature is specific to Admin (manager / owner / technician) of that NTRIP CASTER.

It allows to make changes to user accounts, set bandwidth limits, uptime limits, ... Kick or ban IP on any connection, check status and location in realtime.

Can use computer, phone or any device that supports WEB browser to use with it.


Access the Dashboard page.

First, connect your computer to the same WIFI hotspot.

(In this article, the IP address of the NTRIP CASTER is 192.168.1.5 and the Admin Dashboard page is configured to run at port 80.)

Open a browser and access the address http://192.168.1.5:80/admin (or http://192.168.1.5/admin) .

The homepage appears with server type options that the browser will use to load data for the WEB site.

There are 3 options:

  • Online Server S1 Only : Load web resources from an online server.
  • Combination Server S1 + S2 Load web resources from online server, if failed, automatically switch to offline mode and download resource directly from ESPrtk.
  • Direct Server S2 OnlyLoad web resources directly from ESPrtk.

When loading resources directly from ESPrtk (Server S2), the connection for NTRIP Client will be reduced in maximum bandwidth to ensure page loading speed. This will cause some RTCM data to be lost in about 3 seconds when the browser loads the resource from ESPrtk.

(Therefore, we recommend using the first option (Online Server S1 Only) to load the page. The 2nd and 3rd options should only be used when you are offline.)

To continue, click on the 'GO!' Button and wait about 5 seconds, a login page will appear, it asks to enter a name and password to access as admin of NTRIP CASTER, the default value is:

  • Name : admin
  • Password : acb123ABC

( If you want to change NTRIP CASTER admin username and password, please use the WEB configuration interface or the UART configuration interface of ESPrtk.)


Tab Tables .
