Introduction

...

This page covers the configuration of the plugin within AdvanceGuard®. This plugin enables AdvanceGuard® to receive target data from an external system based on the ICD-100 XML protocol. The configuration controls the network settings as well as enabling how and what data is transmitted through the plugin. Once the target data has been received it is treated in exactly the same way as if it was a target being generated by a Navtech Radar sensor.

ICD-100 is a US Military communication protocol based on XML. The protocol is used over standard TCP/IP client-server connections.

Configuring the ICD-100 Plugin

Witness supports integration with many different types of external systems through the use of plugins. These are stand-alone software libraries which are dynamically loaded by the Integration Manager and contain code which knows how to convert the Witness data into the required format for the external system. Navtech Radar can easily develop bespoke plugins to interface with a specific type of equipment or application, however ICD-001 has been developed to provide a comprehensive communication protocol which is based on open standards in order to make it as easy as possible to integrate with a large number of different systems.

Tip

The plugin can be selected during setup and will automatically be installed in the correct location.

When installing Witness, in the Choose Components page of the Witness Setup wizard, open Integration Plugin options and select ICD100.

Configuring the ICD-100 Plugin

When the plugin is installed and licensed, a plugin configuration with default settings is automatically generatedThe ICD-100 Plugin will appear as a node under the Integration Configurations folder within the Configuration Tree. The settings can be viewed and edited by enabling the Config Function, then selecting the plugin in Integration Configurations, within the Configuration Tree. Configuration settings will then be available in the Configuration Panel.
