2.6.1.2 Input 2

The options for Input 2 are the same as those for Input 1 with the exception that only Input 1 can be used

to place or answer calls.

2.6.1.3 Advanced I/O Options

The Advanced I/O Options require the use of the Auxiliary Expansion Cable (CES P/N: HRNS-060).

This cable provides the capability to add 6 more digital inputs and 2 more digital outputs to the GPS206

bringing the total to 8 inputs, ignition input and 3 outputs.

Figure 23: Advanced I/O Options

The additional inputs can be disabled, programmed to send only on a state change of high to low or low to

high, or to send on both changes of state.

Note: When using the Auxiliary Expansion Cable the number of GeoStatuses is reduced to

16. Also, the Auxiliary Expansion Cable is not compatible with the Garmin FMI and

sending GPS data out of the serial port.

2.6.1.4 Other GPS-206 I/O and Events

Auto Answer: The GPS-206 can be programmed to automatically answer a call after a specific number

of rings. To enable this feature enter a non-zero value.

Input 4, GPS Validity: This option is to send an input change indicating that the device has lost or has

obtained a fix on the required number of GPS satellites.

Figure 24: GPS Status Reporting Options

Note: If the device will be used in an area where acquiring an adequate fix on the GPS

satellites may be difficult (forested areas, urban canyons, etc.) it is highly recommended

that this option is NOT USED. If used it may generate a large number of packets and could cause the

device to use more data than is allowed on its data plan.
