8 GPS
The BT-5600v2 and BT-5800v2 modems have an embedded GPS receiver which can be used to track their movement.
This feature is commonly used in applications such as asset-tracking and Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL). These
modems support two GPS protocols: the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol and the Trimble ASCII
Interface Protocol (TAIP).
The modem can report the fixes acquired from its GPS receiver to:

the local serial port,

up to two servers either local (Ethernet/USB) or remote (over the air) configured for TCP/IP or UDP/IP.

an internal GPS data server (TCP/IP 9999).

the internal event processor where GPS data can be embedded into BEP event messages (raw or structured).
A variety of reporting options are available, ranging from basic NMEA/TAIP timer-based reports to intelligent condition-
triggered reports which leverage the modem's Event Reporting capabilities.
