3  LandMark Mobile User’s Manual

Port

The Port field allows you to select the communication port you

are using. LandMark Mobile currently supports communication

ports COM1 through COM10.
Note: If you are using a serial Holux receiver, you need to use COM1

and check the DTR option.
1. To set the correct port for GPS communication use the stylus

to tap the down arrow next to the Port box to access the drop-

down menu and tap on the desired COM Port.

2. Close the Configuration screen by tapping on OK in the top

right corner of the screen.

Bluetooth COM Ports

LandMark Mobile has multiple automated functions specifically

for Bluetooth receivers.

Bluetooth COM Port Usage Auto Detection 

When a user selects a Bluetooth COM port or when the

application loads, LandMark Mobile automatically detects when

a Bluetooth COM Port is being used. If a Bluetooth receiver is

set as a favorite when more than one device is available, loading

the COM port defaults to the desired receiver and bypasses the

Bluetooth device selection screen.

Auto Reconnect

When a Bluetooth connection is lost, LandMark Mobile

automatically tries to reconnect up to three times.

Auto Bluetooth Card Power Shut-off

When using Bluetooth PC cards, the power to the card is shut off

when the Field PC is suspended. LandMark Mobile registers with

the Bluetooth stack to the GPS receiver status, when the stack is

loaded or unloaded. This feature reduces the reload time when

coming out of suspend and auto connects the receiver when the

stack is reloaded.
Note: If Bluetooth is not active when the Field PC is suspended,

LandMark Mobile does not auto connect.

Baud

Baud determines the signaling speed. The rate at which the COM

port accepts data must match the rate that the GPS receiver sends

data. If the Baud is not set correctly, you will get a framing error,

and the Field PC will not be able to communicate with the GPS.
