3: Installation/Configuration

Initiate a serial port connection between the terminal emulation program and the XL-GPS.

(The Serial Port connection does not require you to log in.)

Once connected, press the Enter key on your keyboard to get a command prompt.

From the command prompt, “>”, you can use the functions described in the “5: Function

Reference” section. The ‘Command Line’ sub-sections provide instructions and examples.

Troubleshooting Tip: If the terminal emulation software has trouble displaying XL-GPS

responses (looks like the unit doesn’t respond to inputs), add a 1 ms/character delay to the

software’s serial port settings.

or Minicom. Consult the program’s documentation for instructions.
