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.
