10 The program GPSMON32
The program GPSMON32 can be used to monitor and programm all essential functions of Meinberg GPS-
Receivers. The Software is executable under Windows 7, Windows Vista, Win9X, Win2000, WinXP and WinNT.
To install GPSMON32 just run setup.exe from the included USB ash drive and follow the instructions of the
setup program.
Program and clock can communicate either via serial link or via TCP/IP connection if the clock is prepared
for (XPT board). The mode to be used can be selected in menu "Connection -> Settings" by the checkboxes
serial and network.
10.1 Serial Connection
To obtain a connection between you PC and the GPS receiver, connect the receivers COM0 port to a free serial
port of your PC. The PCs comport used by the program GPSMON32 can be selected in submenu "PC-Comport"
in menu "Connection".
Also transfer rate and framing used by the program are selected in this menu. Communication between the
clock and the PC comes about, only if the GPS serial port is congured in the same way as the PCs comport. You
can enforce an access, if the GPS serial port is not congured with appropriate parameters for communication.
Select the menu item "Enforce Connection" in menu "Connection" and click "Start" in the apperaring window.
Some rmware versions of the GPS receiver do not support this way of setting up a connection. If "Enforce
Connection" doesn't succeed apparently, please change the serial port parameter of GPS COM0 manually to the
PCs parameters.
10.2 Network Connection
(only clocks with Ethernet access!)
Settings needed for a network connection can be done in menu "Connection->Settings".
To set up a network connection from clock program GPSMON32, the mode "network" must be selected in the
eld "mode". Further the TCP/IP-Address must be entered in eld "IP-Address". If the IP-Address is unknown,
the user can let the program search for available clocks in the local network by clicking the "Find" button. A new
connection can be set up by clicking to one of the displayed addresses.
Access to radioclocks by network is always protected by a Password.
The online help function of GPSMON32 provides detailed information on setting up a TCP/IP connection.
