send GPS and I/O data to a network server. This is a simple

 

process, but if there are any firewalls on your network or your

 

service provider’s network, the data must be routed through or

 

around the firewall. A general discussion of some methods of

 

dealing with firewalls is provided.

 

This chapter also explains how to retrieve the Unique Mobile

 

Device ID from the MP modem. This is the number that

 

uniquely identifies each MP modem. Any application that uses

 

the GPS and I/O data from the MP modem requires this

 

number.

host application, and I/O data to be sent to another.

 

You can also specify the values for the timers that determine
