V1.0.6 December 10 2009

- 98 - CalAmp Proprietary & Confidential

Parameters 263 and 262 respectively (i.e. the Time-Distance Distance and Time-Distance

Time Parameters). Receipt of ‘F’ and ‘D’ qualifiers will also automatically start Time-

Distance profile 0. It is important to remember that this will override any existing PEG

Time-Distance activities. Conversely, any subsequent PEG Time-Distance activities will

override the TAIP ‘D’ or ‘F’ settings.

The selected TAIP sentences will be sent to the Remote IP Address and Remote Oort

whenever a Time-Distance Update Trigger occurs.

12.3.1 Scheduled Reporting – Standard Mode

Standard Reporting is initiated by sending a ‘D’ or ‘F’ qualifier message for the desired

reporting message type (‘PV’, ‘LN’, ’IO’) to the LMU. Standard Reporting messages are sent

to the address of last UDP packet received on the TAIP Listening Port. Standard Reporting

will cease when the LMU is reset or when the TAIP interface receives a null message (‘><’).

Reporting does not resume until a new incoming qualifier is received.

12.3.2 Scheduled Reporting – Directed

Directed Reporting does not rely on receiving an initiation message from an outside source

to begin operation. Once initiated, it will remain operational even after a reset or power cycle

of the LMU. To initiate Directed Reporting mode the following Parameters must be

programmed:

• TAIP Directed Reporting enabled (2048) – Bit 5 must be set

• Remote IP Address (2052) and Remote Port (2053) – Should be set to the public IP

address of your TAIP server

• Message Selection (bits 0- 2 of 2049) – At least one type of TAIP sentence must be

enabled. Note that this can also be accomplished by using the ‘D’ or ‘F’ qualifier.

Like Standard Reporting, Directed Reporting can be disabled by sending a null message

(‘><’) to the LMU’s TAIP Listener Port. Receipt of a null message will zero out the TAIP

Message Select Parameter (2049). Directed Reporting can be resumed by sending a ‘D’ or ‘F’

qualifier message or by setting the appropriate bits in the TAIP Message Select Parameter.

12.3.3 PEG Reporting

If you wish to create a TAIP sentence in response to a PEG Trigger other than a Time-

Distance update, you would use the Send TAIP Report PEG Action within your PEG

Script. This Action will create the sentences selected in Parameter 2049 and send them to the

Remote IP Address and Port. Please note that both the TAIP interface and directed

reporting must be enabled for this PEG Action to work.

12.3.4 SMS Reporting

SMS reporting technically is not part of the TAIP interface, but does use some of its settings.

By setting bit 6 of Parameter 2049 the LMU will forward the contents of any SMS message

received to the TAIP Remote Address and Port. To enable this feature, you would use:

AT$APP PARAM 2049,0,64,64
