manual synchronization of the AirLink device odometer with the current
vehicle odometer.
Note: The odometer calculations of the AirLink device may not match the odometer in the
vehicle itself. The AirLink device odometer is not connected to the vehicle’s, it is entirely
based on calculations of GPS readings.
I/O Event Reports
You can configure the AirLink device to send reports to the AVL Host based on
the state of the digital inputs, analogue inputs, and relay outputs.
Tip: Setting up the I/O port hardware is covered in the Inputs, Relay Outputs, and Power
Status chapter.
Enable *PPINPUTEVT to have events sent to the Host server.
COM 1000 support
Support for a COM1000 is enable with the command *PPCOM1000=1 or
*PPREPORTINPUTS=1. Once enabled, ALEOS will receive the reports from a
properly configured COM1000 and add the state of the extra inputs to RAP
packets sent to the RAP Host.
If you are replacing an existing Pinpoint or PinPoint-E in a vehicle with a
COM1000, simply replace earlier modem with the with the PinPoint. Turn on
COM1000 reporting with the command *PPCOM1000=1 to allow a seamless
transition with no need to change any commands to support the COM1000 in the
same operation as the previous installation.
If you have a new vehicle installations for the PinPoint and have previously
installed Pinpoints or PinPoint-E modems plus COMM1000 in other vehicles,
connect the inputs directly to the PinPoint and turn on input reporting with the
command *PPREPORTINPUTS=1. Since the PinPoint inputs report using the
exact same bit fields as the COM1000, no changes to your software should be
required.
Caution: If both *PPCOM1000 and *PPREPORTINPUTS are enabled, the AirLink device
digital inputs will be reported and the COM1000 inputs will be ignored.
The report type will indicate the state of change in the inputs. The contents of the
report will be the same as Report Type 0x12 (GPS data with date) or 0x13 (GPS
data with date and RF data) with the addition of the event report.
Flush on Event
If you have Store and Forward configured and enabled, to receive event reports
immediately when they occur, you will want to enable *PPFLUSHONEVT. This will
cause all pending reports, including the triggering event, to be sent immediately to
the Host.
