•Capturing External Events using Inputs

• Power Modes and	The PinPoint‐E has special features for use in a mobile
Information	environment. The PinPoint‐E can be configured to monitor the
	inputs and respond to specific types of events. The PinPoint‐E
	can also be configured to change its power mode in order to
	conserve power. These features can be configured to your
	needs.

Capturing External Events using

Inputs

The RS232 DB9 interface (the serial port) on the PinPoint‐E can be connected to digital switches and configured to capture contact closures using RTS and DTR to signal external or physical events, such as a tow bar being activated, opening a door or trunk, the car is turned on or off, etc.

Configuring the DTR and/or RTS

Monitoring

You can use either AceManager or a terminal application to configure the modem. In AceManager, select PinPoint from the menu on the left. Scroll down the command options until you see RTSI and DTRI.
