Location information
The WR54 and WR64 models of TransPort devices contain a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
module that provides information about the current location of the device. Additionally, the device can
be configured to:
n Accept location messages from other location-enabled devices. See for further information.
n Forward location messages, either from the TransPort device or from external sources, to a
remote host. See Forward location information to a remote host for further information. You
can also configure a vehicle IDfor the TransPort device that will be included in location
messages. See Configure the Vehicle ID for further information.
Enable the GNSS module
The GNSS module on the WR54 and WR64 TransPort devices can be enabled or disabled from the
WebUI or the command line.
Web

1. Enable the module:
digi.router> location state gnss
2. Save the configuration:
digi.router> save config
Configure the device to accept location messages from external
sources
You can configure the TransPort device to accept NMEA or TAIP messages from external sources. For
example, location-enabled devices connected to the TransPort device can forward their location
information to the device, and then the TransPort device can serve as a central repository for this
location information and forward it to a remote host. See Forward location information to a remote
host for information about configuring the TransPort device to forward location messages.
This procedure configures a UDP port on the TransPort device that will be used to listen for incoming
messages. An IP filter rule should also be also created on the device to allow this port to accept UDP
communications.
Note When the device is configured as a location server, it will not read location data from its GNSS
module.
