Sierra Wireless EV-DO manual Device ID, Odometer Data in Reports, Serial Input Event Reports

Global Positioning System (GPS)

Device ID

By enabling *PPDEVID, a device ID of the PinPoint‐E is sent as part of the RAP message to make identification easier in a network or fleet of vehicles equipped with PinPoint line devices.

Figure 9-19: AceManager : PinPoint - *PPDEVID

With *PPDEVID enabled, the PinPoint‐E will use the value configured for *NETPHONE for the device ID. If *NETPHONE is empty, the ESN of the modem will be used.

Tip: If the PinPoint-E is using a dynamic IP, *PPDEVID needs to be enabled.

Odometer Data in Reports

When the odometer report is enabled, the PinPoint‐E will calculate distance between reports based on GPS data. The modem’s odometer calculations can be included in the RAP message.

Figure 9-20: AceManager : PinPoint - *PPODOM, *PPODOMVAL

•*PPODOM enables the odometer reporting.

•*PPODOMVAL is the current odometer reading in the PinPoint‐E. You can set this to a number to offset the odometer calculation, such as one‐time manual synchroni‐ zation of the PinPoint‐E odometer with the current vehicle odometer.

Note: The odometer calculations of the PinPoint-E may not match the odometer in the vehicle itself. The PinPoint-E odometer is not connected to the vehicle’s, it is entirely based on calculations of GPS readings.

Serial Input Event Reports

You can configure the PinPoint‐E to send reports to the AVL

Host based on the state of the digital inputs.
