6. 

Once entered, press ‘save’ to save your configuration 
 

7. 

(optional) To confirm that the GPS is functioning, you can use a TCP Server program such as PCCOM to 
monitor incoming TCP Packets to your server. 
 

 

 

Note: When the signal strength for GPS is very low, it may take several minutes for a GPS lock to be 
achieved. If the received packets do not contain any co-ordinates, please wait and allow the eSAM time to 
gain a signal lock.
