PinPoint EDGE/GPRS - User Guide, version 2.32 10
Utilities for the PinPoint
Wireless Ace
Wireless Ace enables modems equipped with ALEOS to be monitored and configured locally or
remotely.
As long as your PinPoint is online and publicly accessible, support personnel can access your
modem from anywhere at any time to see how it is operating and how it is configured. Parameter
changes can be made instantly over-the-air.
Once your modem is configured and installed correctly, a template can be made to program other
modems with the same parameter values. This enables quick, accurate deployment of large pools
of modems.
You can connect to your PinPoint locally using a DUN connection or Ethernet across a LAN or
connected directly with a cross over cable. The display is dynamically updated with the current
status of the modem.
The GPS features are available only for PinPoint X, PinPoint-E, and PinPoint modems.
When you use DUN to connect to your PinPoint, AceView can monitor and maintain the DUN
connection.
The DUN connection features are not available with Windows NT or Windows 98. Refer to the
AceView Guide for information on how to connect using serial for Windows NT or Windows
98.
AceView also features a link to a web-based mapping service so you can see where the GPS coor-
dinates locate the PinPoint.

Note: The mapping feature requires an Internet connection.
Most configuration screen shots in this guide are using Wireless Ace. Connecting
to the modem using Wireless Ace is covered in the “AT Commands” chapter on
page 59.
