The general purpose of these messages is to allow the SNIP<\/strong><\/span> Caster to provide useful hints and advice to the human party making the remote connections.\u00a0 These messages are displayed on the console of the remote system with a light red gradient style to ensure attention to them.\u00a0 This feature can be disabled, and it is only used with SNIP<\/strong><\/span> agents as it ‘extends’ the official RTCM NTRIP Caster protocol in small ways.\u00a0 These messages are designed to assist the party controlling the remote connections to overcome basic connection issues without the need to contact the SNIP<\/strong><\/span> Caster operator, hence saving time.\u00a0 At the same time, few additional data details are provided in order to thwart parties seeking to exploit the SNIP<\/strong><\/span> Caster.<\/p>\n
