Setting the GPS Parameters
After you install the GPS antenna, you must provision the parameters using the
ED-EQPT command.
ED-EQPT:[<tid>]:<aid>:[<ctag>]::<keyword>=<value>;
This command has a default access level of ADMIN.
Sample Command
ED-EQPT::GPS:TS1000::MODE=AUTO;
This command sets the GPS location mode to Automatic. The location of the GPS
antenna is determined from multiple satellite fixes.
