ReACT D5 Model – Functionality Notice
3.1
Important Functionality Note
The FSL ReACT D5 model utilizes an internal connection to the GNSS COM2 port. Therefore, any
commands sent through GPS COM1 or GPS COM3 that will affect the COM2 configuration could
reduce functionality.
When connected to either GPS com port the following commands should be avoided.
UNLOGALL
If UNLOGALL is sent to a GPS com port it will stop the output of commands on all GPS com ports and
all of the EDGE com ports.
UNLOG
If UNLOG is sent to a GPS com port it will stop the output of the specific log command on all GPS
com ports and all the EDGE com ports. If using this command, ensure either COM1 or COM3 is
specified.
COM COM2 or SERIALCONFIG COM2
GPS COM2 has been specifically configured for communicating with the FS-D5 and changing the
baud rate of GPS COM2 will disable communications between the micro and the GPS receiver and
therefore the micro com ports will no longer function.
FRESET / RESET
These commands will reset the GPS receiver to its original state and will disable communications
between the micro and the GPS receiver and therefore the micro com ports will no longer function.
A power cycle will recover the unit and allow the FS-D5 to reconfigure the receiver.
Please reference document A0072-09-0067 ReACT D5 Installation Manual for details on ReACT D5
EDGE-WARE firmware.
3.2
Reconfiguring COM2
Functionality can be retained using either of the methods outlined below.
Reconfigure COM2
Connect to GPS COM1 through a PC running Text Terminal Software and send the following
commands to the unit.
SERIALCONFIG COM2 9600 8 N 1 N OFF ON
INTERFACEMODE COM2 NOVATEL NOVATEL OFF
SAVECONFIG
Power cycle
If SAVECONFIG has not been applied, remove power from the ReACT unit by removing the connector
plug and ensure that the unit is off, then re-apply power. The unit will configure itself for full
functionality.
