...
Name: The ADS-B Plugin name.
System Id: ID of the system sending the sightings.
Timer Interval (s): The time period for reporting health and cleaning up stale tracks.
Track Expiry (s): This specifies how long a track will be kept alive in AdvanceGuard® whilst it waits for an update. If a Track Detection update is not received during this expiry period then the track will be automatically deleted and purged from the AdvanceGuard® system.
Show All Targets: If enabled, this option will show all targets, otherwise, only ground based targets will be processed.
Send Non Friendly: If enabled, both friendly and non friendly tracks will be processed, otherwise, only friendly tracks will be processed.
...
UDP Port: The port number used for the UDP Server.
Remote IP Address: The Remote IP Address of the UDP ServerThe ADS-B server address.
Tag Overrides
Classification overrides have been added to the ADS-B plugin so specific, known vehicles / planes / targets can be classified within it.
...
Address Type: These are from the CAT-21 specifications.
Non Unique: Anything
ICAO(airport code or location indicator): ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) address,typically, an aeroplane.
Surface Vehicle
Vehicle
Other
...
Target Address (Hex): A hex string that corresponds with the expected ID of a target.
Tag Override: Friendly name given to the known targetThis provides us with a method of overriding the incoming tracks with our own tags and classifications.
For example, if we had a ground transponder with a target address of #000001 we could tag it with "Bob's car" and force the classification to be a car.
Classification: The Classification Model of the target - see https://navtechradar.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TUN/pages/790069631/Classification+Configs#Classification-Models

Stuff from release notes:
...
Created a new security rule check that will mark a track as a friend if it’s within a configurable distance of an IFF track and also within a configurable distance to a breach line. This is designed to avoid nuisance alarms from tugs which are towing aircraft with active ADS-B transponders across CP line
...
Ensured that ADS-B numeric tags appear as hex within the UI
...
Changed the default ADS-B classification probability to be 0 for unclassified to match radar track sightings. When classified all ADS-B targets will have a probability of 1
...
Added a non-friendly sighting filter to ADS-B plugin to avoid passing non-friendly targets into AdvanceGuard. This now the default option
...
Added classification override to ADS-B plugin so specific know vehicles / planes can be classified within the ADS-B plugin
...
(Hex): The Hex value of an incoming target to override the default setting for the classification. For example, if all cars are considered friendly, then adding an exception would mean that a target marked as a car, which has the given Address Type and Target Address, would be considered as not friendly.
