Configure the location coordinates for a Connect Sensor

You can configure the latitude and longitude coordinates of the physical location of a device in the Connect Sensor family. Depending on the device type, you can manually configure the coordinates and/or request the GPS location of the device.

• Connect Sensor+: Coordinates for the Connect Sensor+ can only be configured manually. See Configure a Connect Sensor+ location with manually defined coordinates

• Connect Sensor XRT-M: Coordinates for the Connect Sensor XRT-M can be configured manually or by GPS. When you choose the GPS method, a request is sent to the device. When the device wakes up and receives the request, it connects to the GPS satellites to determine its GPS coordinates, and then sends the information back to Digi Axess.

  • Configure the location for a Connect Sensor XRT-M with manually defined coordinates

  • Configure the location for a Connect Sensor XRT-M device with GPS-defined coordinates

Information about the current location displays in the System Location Configuration page.

• Latitude: The latitude coordinate of the device's physical location.

• Longitude: The longitude coordinate of the device's physical location.

• Location Source: The method used to determine the latitude and longitude.

  • manual: The coordinates were manually configured.

  • gps: The coordinates were updated by a GPS location request to the device. This may display only for a Connect Sensor XRT-M.

  • error: The device was unable to get its GPS location. In this situation, an error banner displays on the page and the location reverts to the last configured location coordinates. This may display only for a Connect Sensor XRT-M.

• Last Update: The last date and time on which the coordinates were updated.
