Global Positioning System (GPS)

Tip: One mile is approximately 1600 meters. 1000 meters is one kilometer.

Local

If you are sending reports on the local serial port, and/or if you want them sent automatically, you will need to set *PPLATS. The time interval, just as for *PPTIME, is in seconds.

Report Delay on Power-Up

The PinPoint‐E can be configured to wait a specific amount of time after initialization before any reports are sent. Configure #IG for the desired wait in seconds.

Store and Forward

Store and Forward can provide seamless coverage even in areas with intermittent cellular coverage. If the PinPoint‐E leaves coverage or has very low signal (an RSSI of ‐105 or lower), it will store the GPS messages in memory. When the modem re‐enters cellular coverage, it will then forward the messages as configured. The PinPoint‐E can also store messages and send them to the server in a packet rather than individually to conserve bandwidth.

Enable Store and Forward using *PPSNF. You can also determine how you want the messages sent using *PPSNFB and *PPSNFM.

Normal ‐ Each report is sent immediately.

Polled ‐ Reports held until requested by the server.
