5 GPS Operation and Verification

5.1 GPS Operation and Verification
The Mini MT contains an integrated GPS receiver and GPS antenna. For best GPS performance the unit
should be placed in an area where it can have direct view of the sky.

5.2 Verification of GPS Lock

The Mini MT will provide an indication of successful GPS Lock within approximately 120 seconds when in
view of satellites.
The GPS LED will flash yellow when it is receiving a sufficient number of satellites to provide status. When
this occurs, the internal GPS receiver has enough information to track its current position.

5.3 Verify GPS Operation

The Mini MT GPS status may be obtained locally through the USB connection or through the GPRS
connection to a server. The following steps allow the user to determine GPS operation through a terminal
program and also through the Enfora Demonstration web server.
