4000/5000 Modems’ User Guide

Chapter 8: GPS Settings

This is an available feature in 5200/5600 modems only. These modems have an

embedded GPS receiver from which the processor on the modem retrieves GPS data.

GPS data retrieved is not processed by the modem. The interface, available in BlueVue

Device Manager, to control GPS reporting communicates directly to the GPS module.

For construction of customized reports of GPS data, a user has to leverage the AVL

(Automatic Vehicle Location) and Event Reporting firmware capabilities of the modem.

Firmware 2.0.3 and above allow AVL capabilities. Refer to Blue Tree’s website for

latest firmware updates.

In BVDM, click on File then GPS to access the modem GPS page.

GPS Destinations

It is possible to select two GPS Destinations by populating IP Destinations 1 & 2;

selecting the IP Transport protocol for each destination; filling in the Port number;

then checking the IP Destination box.

It is also possible to report GPS data on a serial port by checking the Serial Port box.

Execute and save settings by clicking on Submit.
