6: Configuring the MP Modem to Report GPS and I/O Data

•I/O device installation The MP modem is capable of reporting position and heading

and configuration

information using the embedded GPS module, as well as the

 

status of sensors, gauges, and alarms connected to the I/O

 

(Input/Output) port. The MP modem is typically installed in a

 

fleet of vehicles with the GPS and/or I/O data being sent to a

 

central office or dispatch for processing.

 

This chapter describes how to implement local reporting of

 

GPS and I/O data. Chapter 7 describes how to configure your

 

MP modem to exchange data with your private network.

GPS configuration and reporting

GPS receivers use an array of orbiting satellites operated by the United States Department of Defense to triangulate their coordinates on the Earth’s surface. In order to use the GPS module in the MP modem, a GPS antenna must be connected to the MP modem. (The installation requires either two antennas—one Main RF and one GPS—or a single combination RF/GPS antenna.)

tions (document #2130313) on the Sierra Wireless web site, www.sierrawireless.com.
