Configure GPS parameters
Some TransPort router models can connect a GPS receiver the router uses to obtain geographical
position information. The GPS module may be internal or external. In either situation, the router uses
an internal asynchronous serial (ASY) port for the connection. The standard way that GPS modules
send the data is using National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) standard 0183 messages. This
protocol is usually simply referred to as NMEA. Routers offering this functionality support the most
common NMEA data messages. These messages are described below. GPS receiver modules normally
accept configuration commands which specify which of the NMEA messages should be sent to the
requesting host.
É Web
1. Go to the Configuration > Telemetry > GPS page.
2. Configure the GPSparameters:
Set Initial Static GPS position
These settings define initial position for a static TransPort router.
Static Latitude
Defines the latitude component of the router, in degrees.
Static Longitude
Defines the longitude component of the router, in degrees.
Enable local monitoring
Allows messages from the GPS receiver to display on the Management > Position > GPS
status page. The messages displayed are configured via entries in a table.
GPS Module Initialization String
Some GPS receivers may require configuration via an initialization message at start-up in order
to send the appropriate messages in the required format, at the required data rate. Any such
required command string is entered into the text entry box and will be sent to the attached
GPS receiver module when the router initializes the module.
The table described here controls which NMEA messages should be sent from the module. The
default is to enable all messages.
GPS Message List / Include in IP Messages
A list of messages issued by the GPS, and whether to include each GPSmessage in
IPmessages.
Fix data (GGA)
The fix data in the selected format (2D, 3D or no fix).
Position (GLL)
The Geographic position (Latitude/Longitude).
