Document VLSG-01 - 10/21/08 2-5
2.3.3.4 GPS/IMU Connectivity
• Cabling consisting of six (6) wires will need to run from the V750 to the GPS/IMU.
— It is possible to use existing wires to avoid running new wires by creating an
extension with a DB9 connector on each end of the wires. Otherwise the cable
from the GPS/IMU will be run from the roof down to the V750 where it will
connect to the harness.
• +12VDC power is provided by the V750
2.3.3.5 EVDO/3G Router Connectivity
• Requires EVDO/3G PCMIA Card with service activated (provided by customer on
their service plan).
• Requires 120VDC
• Requires one CAT5 cable
2.3.4 IP Connectivity
In order for VanLink to work remotely from the studio, the MC-17s and TNS (if equipped
with Controll2_TNS1 software) must have access to the internet (WAN). Most studios
have a unique configuration as well as their own unique security measures and policies
which must be discussed and necessary preparations should be coordinated with their
own respective IT departments. The minimum open port requirements for the master
controller(s) running TouchStar to establish communications with the V750 inside the
vehicles running VanLink are as follows:
2.3.4.1 Master Controller(s) and TNS Accessibility
Master Controller(s) and TNS (if equipped with Controll2_TNS1 software) must have
access to the outside internet (see Figure 2–3).
• Open ports required are: 80, 2000, 2009, 2050, and 2099
— Port 80* (TCP/IP) is the HTTP port required for the MC-17 or TNS to resolve
Dynamic DNS IP addresses.
— Port 2000 (TCP/IP & UDP) is for terminal access (TELNET) for remote
configuration of the V750 primarily via the Forge application
— Port 2009 (UDP) is the port TouchStar uses to communicate with the program
running at the V750
— Port 2050 (TCP/IP) is the port used also used for terminal access for
applications other than Forge
— Port 2099 (TCP/IP & UDP) is another port being utilized by Forge for remote
configuration
