Global Positioning System (GPS)
If you need to use a dynamic IP address for the host server, you can use the RAP configuration
command to change the value for *PPIP (see below).

RAP Reports over a Local Connection (PPP or SLIP)

1. Set the port (S53) to the local port to which you want the reports sent. The local IP will auto-
matically be used. S53, in Wireless Ace, is part of the Misc menu option.
2. Set the ATS Local Report Type (*PPLATSR) to your preferred RAP report type.
11 - GPS - Global Positioning System data
12 - GPS + Date - GPS data with the UTC time and date
13 - GPS + Date + RF - GPS data with the UTC time and date and Radio Frequency informa-
tion from the antenna.
3. Set Local ATS Reporting Time Interval (*PPLATS) to the number of seconds you want as an
interval between reports being sent. If *PPLATS is set to 0, reports will only be sent if a poll
command is issued by the local client.
RAP Message format
In a RAP-based system, each PinPoint-E sends command status and responses to the Server which
is master and sends commands to one or more PinPoint-E devices
For reliability, the server expects each command to be acknowledged within a time-out period. If
the acknowledgement packet (ACK) is not received within the time-out period, the server will
retransmit the command.
Note: If your PinPoint-E is on a mixed network (some of the fleet on another cellu-
lar network), you will need to specify the IP of the server in *PPIP and configure
the PinPoint-E not to change the server IP with a RAP configuration command
using *PPIGNOREIP. This will prevent the ATS server configuration packets from
changing the *PPIP value.
Local reports are sent to the local IP address of the computerPinPoint-E . To configure the
modem to send to the local IP, you will need to set 3 commands: S53, *PPLATS, and *PPLATSR.
