PinPoint-E EDGE/GPRS - User Guide, version 2.32 45
Global Positioning System (GPS)
With the device ID enabled, the PinPoint-E will use the value configured for NETPHONE unless
NETPHONE is empty in which case the ESN of the modem will be used.
Odometer Data in Reports
When the odometer is enabled, the PinPoint-E will calculate distance based on GPS data. The
modem’s odometer calculations can be included in the RAP message.
FIGURE 14. Wireless Ace: Odometer Reports
Note: The PinPoint-E’s odometer calculations may not match the odometer in the
vehicle itself. The PinPoint-E odometer is not connected to the vehicle’s, it is
entirely based on calculations of GPS readings.
Serial Input Event Reports
You can configure the PinPoint-E to send reports based on the state of the DTR and/or RTS pins
on the serial port. Refer to “Capturing Events via External Inputs” on page 32 to set up the exter-
nal devices.
Once the serial port has been connected, you will also need to enable the event reporting for GPS.
FIGURE 15. Wireless Ace: Enabling RTS and DTR for Input Events
If you have connected the physical device to the RTS pin and ground, you will need to enable
RTSI. If you have connected it to the DTR pin and ground, you will need to enable DTRI. You
can have different devices connected to each. If you have two connected, enable both.
To enable the reports themselves, use *PPINPUTEVT.

The report type will indicate the state of change in either RTS or DTR. The contents of the report
will be the same as Report Type 0x12 (GPS data with date) with the addition of the event report.
Input Value Report Type
