Before you Configure GPS
To decide what configuration you need for your PinPoint‐E,
there are some fundamental considerations you should
determine:
• Protocol: What is the GPS protocol used by your tracking
application and what type of reports will you need?
• Datum: What is the datum supported by your tracking
application?
• Dynamic IP Address: Will you need DNS support to
handle a dynamic IP address account?
Caution: With the PinPoint-E, all local GPS (UDP encapsulated)
reports will come over the Ethernet connection. Raw GPS data can be
transmitted across the serial port for applications which require COM
traffic.
Configuring the PinPoint-E for
GPS
This section covers general configuration. Configurations for
specific protocols are covered in later sections.
To configure your modem’s GPS settings, you can use either
AceManager or a terminal connection to configure the modem
using AT commands. The configuration examples in this
chapter all use AceManager. Most of the settings are in the
group: PinPoint.
