The following table lists the fields and options offered.
FIELD/OPTION EXPLANATION
Server IP Address: Enter the numeric IP address or fully qualified domain name
(FQDN) to which the UDP packets are sent containing GPS
data. This is the address of the host computer, which must be
available on the network (such as the Internet) to receive this
data. Each of the four fields must be a number between 1 and
255. If the ActSoft Format is used, this IP address should
generally be gps.comettracker.com.
Server Port Number: Enter the destination port number on the host computer which
receives the GPS data over UDP. Port numbers must be a
number between 1 and 65535. If the ActSoft Format is used,
the port number should generally be 8502.
Request Interval:
Enter the interval (in seconds) for how often the GPS data is
obtained from the GPS receiver. Range is 1 to 65535 seconds
for the Arcom mode, 30 to 65535 for ActSoft mode. Multiple
GPS positions can be collected and buffered, to be sent all
together as determined by the Send Threshold , in order to
reduce the network traffic.
Send Threshold:
Enter the Send Threshold as a number between 1 and 19. The
Send Threshold is a numeric value which indicates how many
GPS positions should be sent in one position message. The
position message will not be sent until the specified number of
GPS positions have been obtained from the GPS receiver.
Unit ID: Enter the unit ID which identifies the GPS data from this ZyWAN
when reported to a host computer. This allows the host
computer to have unique identifiers for data coming from
multiple remote units.
When using the
Actsoft Format
, this
Unit ID
must be a unique
10-character serial number to identify this device in the Actsoft
system.
For ZyWAN-IDEN: The Unit ID reported to ActSoft must be the
10-character modem serial number.
For all other models: The Unit ID is a unique 10-character serial
number, with format to be specified by ActSoft.
Warning:
It is essential to observe that this Unit ID field is
entered correctly. If not and if duplicate ID’s are
reporting from any other device, both remote
devices may suffer loss of data and an interruption
of GPS reporting service.
