Configure the location coordinates for a Connect Sensor

You can configure the latitude and longitude coordinates of the physical location of a device.

Coordinates for the Connect Sensor 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 with manually defined coordinates

• Configure the location with GPS-defined coordinates

• Change the location name for a Connect Sensor

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.

  • 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.

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