GPS

The RC500 has a built-in location source and can forward live position to a remote collector - for example a CAD, AVL, or fleet-tracking system. Configure it under Services - GPS Stream.

Local Web UI GPS Stream page showing GPS stream enablement, host, port, protocol, and Save and Apply controls. — The local GPS Stream page is the direct on-site control for forwarding location to a CAD, AVL, or tracking collector.

Configuration

Setting	Description	Default
Enable	Turn the GPS stream on or off	Disabled
Protocol	Send over UDP or TCP	UDP
Host	The collector’s address	Empty
Port	The collector’s port	`5000`
Format	The output format (see below)	NMEA
Interval	Seconds between position reports	`10`
Stationary distance	How far the device must move before a new report when parked	`20`
Client name	An optional label for this stream	Empty

Output formats

NMEA - the most widely supported location text format; works with most tracking systems. Sensible sentence defaults are set for you; advanced users can adjust which sentence types are sent as an optional output setting.
JSON - structured data for integrations that prefer it over NMEA.
TAIP - used by some fleet systems; an agency ID and checksum behavior can be set as advanced options.

Placement

For the best location performance:

Give the device the clearest possible view of the sky.
Avoid mounting under metal roofs or inside RF-blocking cabinets.
Keep the enclosure away from large metal surfaces that block reception.

Where the location appears

When the router is managed in the cloud, its location can appear on the Fleet Map. The GPS stream described here is a separate, direct feed to your own collector.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely cause	What to try
No fix	Indoor or obstructed install	Move to a clearer sky view
Poor accuracy	Few satellites or reflections	Improve placement
Intermittent fix	RF obstruction or interference	Move away from metal and RF noise
No data at the collector	Stream disabled or wrong destination	Enable the stream and check host/port
