4.6.6- External Devices >> GPS Receiver
The Titan routers are GPS enabled and can be ordered with an internal GPS module built in.
These devices (MTX-Router-Titan-3G-mini-GPS or MTX-Router-Titan-4G-mini-GPS) can also be
used with an external GPS module by connecting it to either the microUSB port or a serial port.
Enabled: Activate this option if you have an internal (or external) GPS module connected to
the Titan router to be used.
Serial Port: Select the MTX-Router-Titan-3G or MTX-Router-Titan-3G-mini’s serial port used
to connect the GPS. For the MTX-Router-Titan-3G device using an internal GPS module,
select “Serial Port 4 TTL”. For the MTX-Router-Titan-3G-mini-GPS or MTX-Router-Titan-4G-
mini-GPS devices, select “Internal GPS”.
Interval: Select the period (in seconds) of GPS readings taken. A value greater than 30
seconds must be specified.
Logger: Activate this option if you wish to save the GPS positions that are read in the internal
logger for later sending to a web platform via HTTP or FTP. This is useful if you are using the
Titan device to implement a fleet management system using GPS.
Output redirection: This option allows NMEA position frames to be redirected through one of
the RS232, RS485 serial ports or the USB port of the Titan device. In this way, GPS can be
used by an additional serial port device.
TCP Port Redirection: In the same way NMEA frames can be obtained via an RS232 or RS485
serial port or the USB port, it is also possible to obtain NMEA frames via a TCP socket by
connecting to the Titan device by Ethernet, Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G. If a TCP port greater than 0 is
specified, the device will connect to said TCP port and obtain the NMEA frames.
GPS
Cells
Titan
routers
allow
you
to
specify
up
to
20
GPS
cells
defined
by
longitude,
latitude
and
radius.
For
example,
a
relay
can
be
programmed
to
be
activated
when
inside
a
GPS
cell
and
deactivated
when
outside.
This
is
useful
to
detect
when
machinery
leaves
the
work
area
or
to
impede
the
opening
of
electronic
lock
system
controlled
containers
outside
loading
areas,
etc.
Latitude Cells: In this field you should state the latitude of the different GPS cells to be
configured, separating them by a semi-colon.
Longitude Cells: In this field you should state the longitude of the different GPS cells to be
configured, separating them by a semi-colon.
Activation Radius: In this field you should state the radius of the different GPS cells to be
configured, separating them by a semi-colon.
