The GPSMON32 Configuration and Monitoring Application
The program GPSMON32 can be used to monitor and configure all essential func-
tions of Meinberg GPS-Receivers. The Software is executable under Win9x, Win2000,
WinXP and WinNT. To install GPSMON32 just run Setup.exe from the included
diskette and follow the instructions of the setup program. The current version can be
downloaded from the Meinberg website (www.meinberg.de).
GPSMON32 and the clock can communicate either via serial link or via TCP/IP
connection if the clock comes with a network interface (LANXPT or SCU-XPT
module). The mode to be used can be selected in menu ‚Connection->Settings’ by
selecting either serial or network.
Serial Connection
To obtain a connection between your 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'
of the
'Connection'
menu.
Additionally, transfer rate and framing used by the program are selectable within this
menu. Communication between the clock and the PC is possible only if the GPS serial
port is configured in the same way as the PCs comport. Optionally you can enforce an
access, if the GPS serial port is not configured with appropriate parameters for communi-
cation. Select the menu item '
Enforce Connection
' in menu
'Connection'
and click
'Start'
in the appearing window. Some firmware versions of GPS167 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 corresponding
values you used for the serial port of your PC.
Network Connection
Settings needed for a network connection can be done in menu ‚Connection->Settings’.
To initiate a network connection from within GPSMON32, the mode ‚network’ must be
selected. Furthermore the TCP/IP address of your LANXPT/SCUXPT-Module has to
be entered in field ‚IP-Address’. If the IP-Address is unknown, you can let the program
query your network for available clocks by clicking the ‚Find’ button. A new connec-
tion can be set up by selecting to one of the found addresses (point and click). Network
access to Meinberg radioclocks is always password protected, the default password is
"Meinberg" (without quotes).
The Online Help function of GPSMON32 (F1) provides detailed information on setting
up a TCP/IP connection.
