Configuring NMEA Sentences

To configure the time interval, additional prefix or ID information, and which NMEA sentences that can be sent:
1. Go to Setup > GPS Configuration > NMEA Configuration and in the Interval field, type the amount of
time, in seconds, that passes before the NMEA information is sent. The default is 10 seconds. The range is
1 to 255 seconds.
2. You can further identify the router, also called a remote asset, that is collecting and sending the GPS
information. To do so:
Add ID: The ID is an unique remote asset identification string. The ID string can be any length up to 20
characters. The & and $ are invalid characters. The ID must follow the standard NMEA sentence structure.
Refer to the Universal IP AT Commands Reference Guide for sentence structure.
To add more information to the beginning of the ID, in the Add ID Prefix field, type the information.
3. You can select which NMEA sentence types you want to send. Check any combination of the available
options: GGA, GSA, GSV, GLL, RMC, and VTG.

Configuring the Serial Port

To configure the serial terminal connected to the RS-232 connector on the router:
1. Go to Setup > Serial IP Configuration > Serial Port Settings, check Enabled.
2. From the Baud Rate drop-down list, select the baud-rate at which the serial terminal communicates. The
default is 115200.
3. From the Flow Control drop-down list, select the flow control for the serial port. The options are NONE or
RTS-CTS. The default is NONE.
4. From the Parity drop-down list, select the parity for the serial port. The options are NONE, EVEN, or ODD.
The default is NONE.
5. To use the Modbus protocol as the protocol the serial devices use to communicate, check Modbus
Gateway.
6. From the Data Bits drop-down list, select the data bits for the serial port. Data bit options are 7 or 8. The
default is 8.
7. From the Stop Bits drop-down list, select the stop bits for the serial port. The options are 1 or 2. The
default is 1.
8. Click Submit.
9. To save your changes, click Save and Restart.

Configuring Device to Act as Client

You can set up the router to act as a client.
The TCP, UDP, SSL/TLS client feature enables the router to act as a proxy TCP, UDP, or SSL/TLS client to the serial
terminal connected to the RS-232 port on the router. This helps the serial terminal access any TCP, UDP, or SSL/TLS
server on the LAN/WAN allowing two-way traffic between the serial device and the remote server.
To use this function, you must first check Enabled under Serial Port Settings. To configure the IP Pipe in TCP, UDP,
or SSL/TLS client mode:
1. Go to Setup > Serial-IP Configuration > Serial Port Settings > IP Pipe group.
2. From the Mode drop-down list, select CLIENT.
3. From the Protocol drop-down list, select the desired protocol: TCP, UDP, or SSL/TLS.
