Buffer setting.
RF Buffer: Enable position buffering when using an RF modem. Note:
since firmware version 4.96, the network buffer settings provide
a “Polling” mode. When selected, the i50 will only send data
when checking for network coverage, or when data is received
from the server.
Self-Geofence
Peg Lat/Lon: Latitude and longitude values used for self-geofence.
COM Ports
Port A Route: Controls whether Port A is routed to the Prog connector, COM1
connector or Wi-Fi module during normal operation.
Port A-F: Defines what devices are connected to each of the i50’s serial
ports. Port A route is controlled by the setting above. Port B
connects to COM2. Port C connects to internal GPRS modem.
Port D connects to internal Iridium modem. Port F connects to
the COM3 connector. See section 8.0 for a list of available
options.
COM1/2 Flow Control: Turn flow control on or off for the COM1 and COM2 connectors.
Firmware version 4.16 and earlier also controlled the Wi-Fi flow
control using the COM1 setting. Later versions force Wi-Fi flow
control on.
GPS
GPS COM Speed: GPS module COM speed.
Update clock using GPS: Automatically set real-time clock base on GPS signals.
GPS satellites: Require a certain number of GPS satellites to mark a position
as valid. Note: this should normally be set to zero, as the GPS
module calculates position validity based on received signal
strength and satellite positions.
Internal GPS: Enable use of internal GPS module. If disabled, an external
GPS module can be connected via a serial connection.
Cellular
Cell COM Speed: Cellular modem COM speed.
Cell Modem Type: Type of cellular modem.
Cell Server Domain Name: Optional domain name for server. When enabled, the i50 will
perform DNS lookups to determine server IP address.
Cell Server IP: DataGate server address when sending data over cellular
network. Also used to allow data through the Wi-Fi firewall.
Backup Cell Server IP: Backup address, used when remotely switching servers.
Cell Port: UDP port for sending data over cellular network.
Cell Echo: Enable PPP echo requests. This is normally disabled.
