Forward location information to a remote host
You can configure location clients on the TransPort device that forward location messages in either
NMEAor TAIP format to a remote host. You can configure up to ten location clients on the device to
forward location information to up to ten different remote hosts.
Depending on how the TransPort device's location feature is enabled, you can either forward the
device's location information based on its GNSSmodule, or you location information from an external
source:
n If the location feature is set to off, no information is forwarded.
n If the location feature is set to gnss, the device's location information based on its
GNSSmodule is forwarded.
n If the location feature is set to server, location information from external sources is forwarded.
See Configure the device to accept location messages from external sources for more
information. You can also configure a vehicle ID for the TransPort device to be included in the
forwarded messages. See Configure the Vehicle ID for more information.
