How to Use the Simple Location Information Acquisition Command
You can get the location information via a command by using a specific TCP/IP port.
Note:
Location information obtained by this command is based on cellular system, so it’s different from the GPS
positioning.

Access Technology
The communication sequence is as follows:
This adapter is a TCP Socket Server, and the equipment is a TCP Socket Client. They need to connect or
disconnect using TCP/IP
.
The simple router feature is enabled while the service port is using, so you can acquire the location information
while normal data communication.

SMS Auto Connection
This adapter supports automatic connection to the wireless network by an SMS message.
When this adapter receives an SMS, the following processes will be performed.
■ In the case, This adapter has not been connected to the wireless network
Automatically connect to the wireless network. The TCP/IP communication will be ready once the connection is
successful.
■ In the case, This adapter has been connected to the wireless network already
Wireless network connection will be kept.
Remote Diagnosis
This adapter supports network connectivity detection by an ICMP packet.
By sending an ICMP packet as below, you can verify whether this adapter is connected to the wireless network.
■ When received a ICMP 13 from the wireless network, this adapter will respond by sending ICMP 14,
Note:
ICMP type 13 packets are not routed to the equipment that is connected to this adapter.
This feature is only for checking the connection state of the adapter, so the data in the packet is meaningless.
Fail-Safe
This adapter communicates with wireless network by the wireless module equipped. In some cases, the wireless
module cannot continue communication normally due to poor network conditions (such as out of service, a weak
signal level, and the base station design change and communication failure), combined with functions of the
wireless module itself.
This adapter can detect such communication failures and recover automatically.
When failures were detected, this adapter will reset itself automatically, so the communication between this
adapter and the equipment will temporary stop.
Although frequency of the automatic recovery is rare, please implement the following fail-safe features to your
equipment in principle.
■ Reconnect this adapter if the LAN interface is disconnected,
■ If your system does not recover by a normal retry procedure, please reset this adapter.

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Radiofrequency radiation exposure Information:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator
