GPS “sentences” are collected the from embedded GPS receiver in the Vanguard Cellular Broadband Router. These
sentences are converted into the above formats and are provided to both local and remote delivery services. Each
report from the TCP ports is terminated with carriage-return/linefeed characters (CRLF). Reports are sent as a
datagram with no terminating CRLF.
TAIP Vehicle ID
The TAIP, With ID format allows a report to contain a user-supplied field to identify the sending mobile. This
read-only field, which may contain up to 8 letters or digits or the underscore ‘_’ character, is taken from the
Unit ID that can be set from Unit Status » Basic Settings > Unit ID > ID.
Store and Forward Settings
The Vanguard 3000 router can be configured to store reports generated by the Remote Delivery configuration when
out of coverage. Those reports will be forwarded to the specified host(s) when the router reestablishes its cellular
connection.
Store and Forward
Enable or disable the Store and Forward feature of the Vanguard 3000.
Deliver messages every ( ) seconds
This specifies the rate used to deliver the stored messages to the host(s) when the unit is again within
coverage. This MUST be configured faster than the reports being generated by the Remote Delivery
configuration.
Max reports to store
This specifies the maximum number of reports to store. When filled, the oldest reports will be overwritten by
new reports. (This maximum is divided by the number of different formats that have to be stored and
forwarded. For example, if remote hosts only receive the GGA message, then up to 1800 reports can be
stored; if remote hosts are to receive GGA and RMC messages, then up to only 900 pairs can be stored.)
GPS Configuration
Client Index (1-8)
Specify an index number(1-8) of the client, to be used for keeping track of the delivery table entries.
Protocol
Select TCP to create a TCP server on the specified (local) port or UDP to create a UCP client that sends
datagrams to the specified (remote) IP address and port.
Host IP Address
Specify the IP address for this GPS client, to allow destination for UDP. This field is valid only if protocol is UDP.
