STEPP II GETTING STARTED
Figure 5: COM Port transmission settings
If a connection to the STEPP II terminal is established, the transmitted
protocols will be displayed.
Please note that, if the embedded GPS reciver of the STEPP II device
(operating with 2.0RC1 firmware) is unable to calculate a valid position
due to the satellites on view (less then 3 satellites) it stops the start-up
procedure (no GPS messages will be displayed in the terminal program)
and it goes into the sleep state. In that case, please, change the location of
the GPS antenna and restart your STEPP II device. In order to evaluate
the GPS receiver, if valid positions are being received, see section 1.2.1.
