.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
Dump1090 receives Mode S (ADS-B) messages from RTL-SDR (Software Defined
|
|
Radio) USB dongles and optionally network sources and makes those messages
|
|
available in various formats as a server on various TCP ports.
|
|
|
|
It also includes a mini-webserver that provides a moving map display of
|
|
nearby detected aircraft to web browsers on the LAN.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
established an encrypted, compressed TLS connection with FligthAware and logs
|
|
in using a FlightAware user name and password.
|
|
At the same time it tries to
|
|
connect to a program on the local computer providing ADS-B messages in
|
|
"beast" binary format, typically \fBdump1090\fR.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It then filters and coalesces those messages and forwards them over the
|
|
TLS connection where they contribute to the accuracy of FlightAware's
|
|
flight tracking.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
(People who forward ADS-B messages to FlightAware automatically qualify for
|
|
a free upgrade to an Enterprise Account. For more information please visit
|
|
http://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On startup piaware attempts to connect to port 10001 to obtain the filtered,
|
|
coalesced ADS-B messages. If the machine is running the FlightAware-modified
|
|
version of dump1090 (https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090_mr) then it
|
|
will obtain those messages directly.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the site is not running FA-modified dump1090 or is running a different
|
|
ADS-B provider program such as modesmixer then piaware will start a helper
|
|
program called faup1090 to translate between beast format and FlightAware
|
|
format.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If installed from the Debian package, piaware will automatically start up at system boot time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Since other programs such as dump1090 may not have started yet, piaware will wait until something is there to provide ADS-B data. Also piaware will automatically reconnect if that program stops and is started again and it will also periodically try to reconnect to FlightAware in the event that contact is lost.
|

|
Options:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|

|
|
Select which RTL device to use if multiple are present. The default is 0.
|
|
.It Fl -gain Ar db
|
|
Sets the gain of the RTL-SDR device. The default is to set for max gain. Use -10 for auto-gain.
|
|
.It Fl -enable-agc
|
|
Enable RTL-SDR automatic gain control. AGC default state is off.
|
|
.It Fl -freq Ar hz
|
|
Sets the frequency sampled by the RTL-SDR device. The default os 1090 MHz.
|
|
.It Fl -interactive
|
|
ENable interactive mode, periodically refreshing data on the terminal screen.
|
|

|
|
.It Fl -interactive-rtl1090
|
|
Display the flight table in RTL1090 format.
|
|
.It Fl -raw
|
|
Show only messages' hex values.
|
|
.It Fl -net
|
|
Enable networking.
|
|
.It Fl -modeac
|
|
Enable decoding of SSR Mode-S 3/A and 3/C messages.
|
|
.It Fl -net-beast
|
|
Produce TCP raw output in Beast binary format
|
|
.It Fl -net-only
|
|
Enable just networking, don't even look for an RTL-SDR device.
|
|
.It Fl -no-rtlsdr-ok
|
|
Probe for an RTL-SDR device but keep going if one isn't found. By default
|
|
dump1090 will exit if there is no RTL-SDR device found but this switch used
|
|
with the --net switch allows
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to start up as an ADS-B internetworked format translation service whether there is a local RTL device or not.
|
|
.It Fl -net-fatsv-port Ar port
|
|
Specify the FlightAware TSV-style output port. The default is 10001.
|
|
.It Fl -net-ri-port Ar port
|
|
Specify the TCP raw input listening port. The default is 30001. This port can be connected to by data senders to push raw ADS-B messages to.
|
|
.It Fl -net-ro-port Ar port
|
|
Specify the raw output listening port. The default is 30002. Processes that connect to this port will receive messages received by dump1090 either from the radio source or a network source, in raw format.
|
|
.It Fl -net-sbs-port Ar port
|
|
Processes that connect to this port (default 30003) will receive ADS-B messages in Kinetic SBS format.

|
|
Run dump1090 from the command line in quiet mode, with network support,
|
|
with it being OK if there is no RTL-SDR dongle attached, and with some
|
|
network buffering and rate switches:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl $ dump1090 --quiet --no-rtlsdr-ok --net --net-ro-size 500 --net-ro-rate 5 --net-buffer 5
