TAIP Messages over a Local Connection (PPP)

FIGURE 28.

Wireless Ace: TAIP Local Reports

1.

Set the IP (*PPIP) to the local IP of the PinPoint-E (if you are receiving reports using PPP, you
do not need to set *PPIP).

2.

Set the port (S53) to 21000. The local IP will automatically be used. S53, in Wireless Ace, is
part of the Misc menu option.

3.

Set GPS Report Type (*PPGSPR) to F0 - TAIP Data.

4.

Set the Local ATS Reporting Time Interval (*PPLATS) to 0 to disable unsolicited local reports.

With this configuration, the PinPoint-E will listen for TAIP requests on the local IP (192,168.13.31
by default) and port 21000. Once a TAIP request command has been received, the PinPoint-E will
begin issuing TAIP reports (e.g. DPVs) to the local IP and port 21000. The client application
should be listening for reports on this IP address and port.

No unsolicited reports will be sent from the PinPoint-E to the local client application.

Sending Unsolicited TAIP Messages over a Local Connection (PPP)

Standard TAIP requires a request before GPS reports are sent. The PinPoint-E, however, can be
configured to allow TAIP formatted messages to be sent over any UDP Port without request com-
mands. This is useful for those applications which can listen for TAIP messages but cannot send
UDP request packets.

This configuration sends TAIP GPS reports to whatever address and UDP Port you select. You
will need to set 3 commands: S53, *PPLATS, and *PPLATSR.

Wireless Ace: TAIP Local Reports, Unsolicited

Some TAIP client applications can send TAIP requests and listen for reports using a local connec-
tion. Generally this is done over the serial port using PPP. To configure this option, you will need
to set four commands: *PPIP, S53, *PPGPSR, and *PPLATS.
