Assigning Fixed Addresses; Configuring The Global Positioning System (Gps); Dumping Nmea Sentence Information To The Router's Tcp Server Port - Multitech MultiConnect rCell 100 User Manual

CHAPTER 6 CONFIGURING YOUR DEVICE
5. In the Gateway field, type the gateway address. The default Gateway address is the LAN IP address of the
router.
6. In the Domain field, type your network domain, if any.
7. In the Lease Time field, type the DHCP lease time. Lease time is set in days, hours, and minutes. A Lease
Time of 00-00-00 is an infinite lease time.
8. In the Lease Range Start field and in the Lease Range End field, type the range of IP addresses to be
assigned by DHCP.
9. Click Submit. If you are finished making changes, click Save and Restart.

Assigning fixed addresses

1. In the Fixed Address group, click Add. A dialog box opens, where you define the address.
2. In the MAC Address field, type the MAC address to which the specified IP address binds.
3. In the IP Address field, type the fixed IP address to be assigned.
4. Click Finish. The addresses are added.

Configuring the Global Positioning System (GPS)

Some routers have a built-in GPS receiver. If your router has a GPS receiver, the router can forward NMEA
(National Marine Electronics Association) sentences from the GPS receiver to a device connected to the router's
serial port. You can also send the GPS data over the network to a remote computer. To configure GPS on your
router:
1. From Setup, select GPS Configuration.
2. To configure the TCP server port and enable a serial port dump of NMEA sentences, seeDumping NMEA
sentence information to the router's TCP server port.
3. To allow your router to connect and send GPS data to a remote server, see Sending GPS information to a
remote server.
4. To set the time interval after which GPS data is sent, and to configure further details about the GPS
information that is sent, see Configuring NMEA Sentences.
Notes:
■
All enabled sentences are forwarded periodically using the interval specified in the NMEA Configuration
section. Before forwarding, the router adds an ID prefix and ID to each enabled NMEA sentence. If set, the
NMEA sentences available are those provided by the built in receiver which are: GPGGA, GPGSA, GPGSV,
GPGLL, GPRMC, GPVTG.
■
You can simultaneously enable the TCP Server, TCP/UDP client, and serial port dump.

Dumping NMEA sentence information to the router's TCP server port

To configure the TCP server port where you can send the NMEA sentences:
1. From the Local Configuration group, check TCP Server.
2. In the Port field, type the port number on which the TCP server is listening for connections. The default is
5445. You can use up to five digits. Each digit itself must be between 0 and 9. Numbers above 65,535 are
illegal as the port identification fields are 16 bits long in the TCP header.
3. If you want the server to request that the remote client supply a password before the NMEA sentences
are sent, type that password in the Password field.
