CHAPTER 6 CONFIGURING YOUR DEVICE
4.
To use the serial port for GPS, disable the serial port client/server. The serial port configuration settings
are used to configure the port. The serial port client/server must be disabled to use the serial port for
GPS.
Sending GPS information to a remote server
The Remote Configuration allows the device to connect to a remote server using the IP and port information for
uploading GPS data.
1.
To allow the device to connect, check
TCP/UDP
.
2.
From the
Protocol
drop-down list, select the protocol of the client.
3.
In the
Remote Host
field, type the IP address of the remote host.
4.
In the
Port
field type the port number of the remote host.
5.
If your remote host requests a password, type that password in the
Password
field. The password is sent
to the server in response.
Configuring NMEA Sentences
To configure the time interval, additional prefix or ID information, and which NMEA sentences that can be sent:
1.
In the
Interval
field, type the amount of time, in seconds, that passes before the NMEA information is
sent. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 1 to 255 seconds.
2.
You can further identify the router, also called a remote asset, that is collecting and sending the GPS
information. To do so:
Add ID
: The ID is an unique remote asset identification string. The ID string can be any length up to 20
characters. The
&
and
$
are invalid characters. The ID must follow the standard NMEA sentence structure.
Refer to the Universal IP AT Commands Reference Guide for sentence structure.
To add more information to the beginning of the ID, in the Add ID Prefix field, type the information.
3.
You can select which NMEA sentence types you want to send. To do so, check the desired options: GGA,
GSA, GSV, GLL, RMC, and VTG.
