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.
Connecting to the Network Port
The network port provides remote access to the XL-GPS’s command line interface.
Complete the following steps to connect to the network port.
1. Use function F100 – Network Port Configuration & XL-GPS Firmware(page107), or
F100 IP – IP Address(page109), to obtain the XL-GPS’s IP address.
2. Open a telnet session from your PC to the XL-GPS.
- In Windows, click Start – Run, enter telnet ###.###.###.### (where the
#s are the XL-GPS’s IP address), and click OK.
- Open a telnet session using a program such as HyperTerminal, TeraTerm Pro,
or Minicom. Consult the program’s documentation for instructions.
3. Log in as user name “operator” and password, “janus”. Press Enter on your key-
board 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.
