The default for the fast rate timer is three seconds If the GPS timer is set to 0, the reporting interval is determined by the configuration of the GPS module. If the module is configured for TAIP, you can issue TAIP commands to change the interval. An advantage of configuring the report frequency with TAIP commands is that the interval between reports can be based on elapsed time and/or distance travelled IP Addressing Monitoring and Tracking configurationFirewall NetworkInternet The problem created by Network Address TranslationSolutions to the NAT problem Retrieve the Unique Mobile Device IDTechnical support 9 Support and WarrantyWarranty 2130795 AirLink MP595 / MP595W Modem User GuideRev 1.4 Draft Mar.08 10 Technical SpecificationsRegulatory, radio frequency and electrical specifications 2130795 Environmental specificationsWeight and dimensions AirLink MP595 / MP595W Modem User GuideTechnical Specifications GPS specificationsHost interfaces Other interfacesAirLink MP595 / MP595W Modem User Guide I/O port characteristicsWireless access point specifications 3G Watcher softwareRev 1.4 Draft Mar.08 Technical SpecificationsSecurity features 2130795 AirLink MP595 / MP595W Modem User GuideU.S.A 11 Regulatory InformationCanada Approved antennas Important NoteFCC Caution Rev 1.4 Draft Mar.08 IndexCDMA, 14 configuration, unlock, 50 connectors, 26 current NumericsPage Rev 1.4 Draft Mar.08 Wireless Access Point.
