3.5 Location or GPS Configuration
Only the ES210 Bridge is equipped with a GPS (Global
Positioning System) receiver and associated antenna port.
When the feature is
Enabled
(the default) and a GPS antenna
connected, the ES210 uses the signals of GPS satellites in
range to triangulate its exact position on the globe. It
dynamically displays this information in
Location
