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 :ref:`the detector-receiver UDP configuration in the config file<detector udp header config>` and the :ref:`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. **f**write, **f**path) and the **udp_dstmac** is required in config file.
Example of a custom receiver config file
.. code-block:: bash
# 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
