1.  First, ensure you have connected an external GPS antenna to the eSAM. An antenna is provided with the 

eSAM Kit. 
 
Note that GPS signals operate at a lower frequency than 4G or Wi-Fi Signals, and so are more susceptible to 
being blocked by obstacles, such as metal roofs or metal enclosures. Where possible use an antenna external 
to your enclosure. 
 

2.   Connect to the eSAM Web GUI. By default, this can be done by opening your web browser and enter 

192.168.8.1’

 . When the GUI opens, enter your username and password to log in. 

3.  Open the Application>GPS window 

 

 

Enable the GPS Application, if it is not enabled already. 
 

4.  The eSAM is designed to interface with a TCP or UDP Server. GPS data is sent straight from the embedded 

GPS Modem, encapsulated in a TCP or UDP header using whichever port you set here. 
 
This guide will describe how to confirm that the eSAM GPS Feature is functioning, but will not explain how to 
configure a server to display this information
