Before Configuring Location

To decide what configuration you need for your AirLink gateway, there are some
fundamental considerations you should determine:
• Protocol—What is the location protocol used by your tracking application
and what type of reports will you need? (See
page 234.)
• Dynamic IP Address—Does your device have a dynamic IP address and
you need to track the specific asset? (See
page 246.) You can also associate your device with a dynamic DNS configu-
ration. (See Dynamic DNS
• Server location and type of connection—Will you be using a local server,
a remote server, or both? Will you need a serial or local IP connection?
• Multiple Location servers—Will you need to have location data sent to
more than one location server?
