To configure the AirLink device to send NMEA reports to a remote server, you will
need to set 3 commands: *PPIP, *PPPORT, and *PPGPSR.
a. Set *PPIP and *PPPORT to the IP address and port of the server to
which you want the reports sent.
b. Set the GPS Report Type (*PPGPSR) to your preferred NMEA sentence
format.
•E0 - NMEA GGA and VTG sentences.
•E1 - NMEA GGA, RMC, and VTG sentences.
Local Host
Local reports are sent to the local IP address of the computer or device
connected to the serial port or USB port of the AirLink device using PPP. To
configure the modem to send to the local IP, you will need to set 3 commands:
*S53, *PPLATS, and *PPLATSR.
a. Set the port (S53) to the local port to which you want the reports sent.
The local IP address will automatically be used. S53, in ACEmanager, is
part of the GPS group.
b. Set the Local Report Type, *PPLATSR, to your preferred NMEA sentence
format.
•E0 - NMEA GGA and VTG sentences.
•E1 - NMEA GGA, RMC, and VTG sentences.
c. Set Local Reporting Time Interval, using *PPLATS, to the number of
seconds you want as an interval between reports being sent.
