Custom Receiver

The receiver essentially listens to UDP data packets sent out by the detector.

To know more about detector receiver setup in the config file, please check out the detector-receiver UDP configuration in the config file<detector udp header config> and the detector udp format<detector udp header>.

Please note the following when using a custom receiver:

• udp_dstmac must be configured in the config file. This parameter is not required when using an in-built receiver.
• Cannot use "auto" for udp_dstip.
• No rx_ commands in the config file. These commands are for configuring the slsReceiver.

The main difference is the lack of rx_ commands or file commands (eg. fwrite, fpath) and the udp_dstmac is required in config file.

Example of a custom receiver config file

# detector hostname
hostname bchip052

# udp destination port (receiver)
udp_dstport 50004

# udp destination ip (receiver)
udp_dstip 10.0.1.100

# udp source ip (same subnet as udp_dstip)
udp_srcip 10.0.1.184

# udp destination mac
udp_dstmac 22:47:d5:48:ad:ef
