6.2 GPS/NMEA Repeater Parameters Configuration
In order for the destination software to properly route the GPS data you must configure
the GPS/NMEA Repeater Parameters in the Optimizer User Interface.
From the Optimizer Home page select Services > GPS/NMEA Repeater tab.
Step 1. Select the source of the GPS/NMEA information (choose only one):
•
GPS from broadband satellite
: Select this if you are using a broadband satellite
terminal with integrated GPS.
•
GPS/NMEA feed from USB
: Select this when connecting a GPS or NMEA
device via USB cable.
Step 2.
NMEA Baud Rate
- Using the drop down menu, select the baud rate required
for the destination software. By default, most NMEA 183 devices (GPS) and
applications use 4800 baud for this setting.
Step 3.
UDP Listener Port
- Enter the UDP port number that the GPS is connected to.
The default is set to the standard UDP Listener Port for NMEA 183 devices of 10101.
