7. GPS
Most Netbiter models provide support for GPS location functions, which can be used to report the
unit's location, and also to send alarms if the system moves out of a pre-defined area.
Some Netbiter Gateways require the use of a separate GPS receiver, which is connected via RS-232 on
the 9-pin D-Sub interface. The receiver must support NMEA version 3 protocol, with sub-messages
GGA and RMC.
Other Netbiter models feature a built-in GPS receiver, and thus only require the connection of an an-
tenna.
