Setting the GPS Parameters

After you install the GPS antenna, you must provision the parameters using the
ED-EQPT command.

ED-EQPT:[<tid>]:<aid>:[<ctag>]::<keyword>=<value>;

This command has a default access level of ADMIN.

Sample Command

ED-EQPT::GPS:TS1000::MODE=AUTO;

This command sets the GPS location mode to Automatic. The location of the GPS
antenna is determined from multiple satellite fixes.

To manually set the location of the receiver, you must enter the latitude, the
longitude, and the altitude (in m) in the same command, using commas to separate
the parameters.
