IP Connection 1
GPS data may be sent to up to two IP destinations. These are specified in the following two
sections of the web page.
Send GPS messages to IP address a.b.c.d
This text entry box holds the IP address that the GPS data should be sent to.
Port n
The required TCP/UDP port number that the GPS data should be sent to is specified here.
Every n interval(s)
The number entered into this text entry box controls how often the GPS data is transmitted to
the specified host. A value of 1 will cause collected GPS data to be transmitted each time a UTC
and local date/time data (ZDA) message is received from the GPS receiver module. A value of 2
will cause every second message to be sent and so on. For this feature to work over a TCP/IP
connection, the ZDA message must be enabled.
Use TCP / UDP
These radio buttons select which protocol to use for sending the messages.
Prefix the message with t
Enter any text string that the user wishes to precede the NMEA data into this text entry box.
Suffix the message with t
Enter any text string that the user wishes to follow the NMEA data into this text entry box.
