8: Setting up GPS Connectivity
An important feature of the oMG is its ability to determine and report its GPS location
to an AMM and to the customer’s mapping system. The oMG is equipped with an
internal GPS receiver but can also be configured to use an external GPS device
connected to the unit via a serial or USB (e.g. an antenna) connection, or through
Ethernet (using the UDP protocol). The unit comes pre-configured to use the built in
GPS device by default.
The GPS data can also be forwarded to additional servers with a static IP address or
host name over the WAN, to a local host connected via the LAN, or to a device
connected to the unit's serial port.
Note: When using an external GPS source only the TAIP LN message can be forwarded. If
using the internal GPS as the source, any TAIP or NMEA message can be forwarded either
locally or remotely.
