This parameter is only meaningful to the AVL software which is going to (*)Essential configuration

The unit’s ID is a 10 characters maximum string containing any charac-

.
The ID is used every time the unit sends a TAIP report message (
EV
or
ET
) by adding the postfix “
;ID=UNIT’S ID
” to the message. This postfix
gives the AVL software information on who is sending the report.
The AVL software may use the >
QID

and only a new TCP connection is established. The “
;ID=
” postfix may be
then eliminated from the unit’s reports with the
RM
message, this saves a

Refer to the TAIP reference for more information. The ID setting takes
the following form for an unit’s ID
