Gps Server Configuration; Dumping Nmea Sentence Information To The Router's Tcp Server Port; Sending Gps Information To A Remote Server - Multitech MultiConnect rCell 100 User Manual

CHAPTER 6 CONFIGURING YOUR DEVICE
There are four areas of GPS configuration including: Server Configuration, Local Configuration, Client
Configuration and NMEA Configuration along with Current Position information.
Notes:
■
All enabled sentences are forwarded periodically using the interval specified in the NMEA Configuration
section. Before forwarding, the router adds an ID prefix and ID to each enabled NMEA sentence. If set, the
NMEA sentences available are those provided by the built-in receiver which are: GPGGA, GPGSA, GPGSV,
GPGLL, GPRMC, GPVTG.
■
You can simultaneously enable the TCP Server, TCP/UDP client, and serial port dump.

GPS Server Configuration

To setup the GPS Server Configuration:
1. Go to Setup > GPS Configuration > Server Configuration.
2. To enable server configuration, check TCP Server.
3. In the Port field, type the port number on which the TCP server is listening for connections. The default is
5445. You can use up to five digits. Each digit itself must be between 0 and 9. Numbers above 65,535 are
illegal as the port identification fields are 16 bits long in the TCP header.
4. Enter Password and confirm Password.
5. Click Submit.
6. To save your changes, click Save and Restart.

Dumping NMEA Sentence Information to the Router's TCP Server Port

To configure the TCP server port where you can send the NMEA sentences:
1. Complete the steps under GPS Server Configuration.
2. To use the serial port for GPS, you must disable the serial port client/server. Go to Setup > Serial IP
Configuration > Serial Port Settings and uncheck Enabled.
3. Then, under Local Configuration, check Serial Port Dump.
4. Submit.
5. To save your changes, click Save and Restart.

Sending GPS information to a remote server

The Client Configuration allows the device to connect to a remote server using the IP and port information for
uploading GPS data.
1. To allow the device to connect, go to Setup > GPS Configuration > Client Configuration.
2. Check TCP/UDP Client.
3. From the Protocol drop-down list, select the protocol of the client (TCP or UDP).
4. In the Remote Host field, type the IP address of the remote host.
5. In the Port, field type the port number of the remote host.
6. If your remote host requests a password, type that password in the Password field. The password is sent
to the server in response.
7. Click Submit.
8. To save your changes, click Save and Restart.
