FIGURE 11. Wireless Ace: RAP Local Reports
1. Set the port (S53) to the local port to which you want the reports sent. The local IP will auto-
matically be used. S53, in Wireless Ace, is part of the Misc menu option.
2. Set the ATS Local Report Type (*PPLATSR) to your preferred RAP report type.
11 - GPS - Global Positioning System data
12 - GPS + Date - GPS data with the UTC time and date
13 - GPS + Date + RF - GPS data with the UTC time and date and Radio Frequency informa-
tion from the antenna.
3. Set Local ATS Reporting Time Interval (*PPLATS) to the number of seconds you want as an
interval between reports being sent. If *PPLATS is set to 0, reports will only be sent if a poll
command is issued by the local client.
RAP Message format
In a RAP-based system, each PinPoint sends command status and responses to the Server which is
master and sends commands to one or more PinPoint devices
For reliability, the server expects each command to be acknowledged within a time-out period. If
the acknowledgement packet (ACK) is not received within the time-out period, the server will
retransmit the command.
The RAP messages are in Hex and are referred to by their message ID.
