Connect a NMEA Device

If an optional NMEA device is connected to the
TV-Hub, the antenna can use its GNSS position
and heading data to speed up satellite
acquisition. The current position and heading
will also be displayed on the Home page of the
web interface.
If the customer would like to connect a NMEA
device to the TV-Hub, make the connection after
the RF cabling is complete as follows:
a. Wire and connect the 2-position terminal
strip connector (supplied in the kit) as shown
in Figure 30.
b. Configure the NMEA device to transmit one
or more of the NMEA 0183 messages at 4800
baud (see Figure 31).
Later, you will select the NMEA source at the
TracVision Setup Wizard (see
System" on page
