Description
Ethernet (Local Area Network

efficient way to connect to
external sensors, such as a global
positioning system (GPS), to
receive navigational data. In order
for this communication port to
work, the parameters must be set
up properly.
Tip
The settings in the dialog box are only provided to define the actual communication
parameters. You can not select which inputs or outputs to use. However, you must set up
these communication parameters before you select input or output datagrams.
All navigation and motion sensors are connected using the
Sensor Installation
page. You
must also specify which datagram formats to use. The
Sensor Installation
page is located in
the
Installation
dialog box. The
Installation
dialog box is located on the
Setup
menu.
