Hello… Brand New to Sierra and Gx450’s.

I have gps going remote to a server… that seems to be working fine… I am trying to get gps over serial local to a laptop. We have had this setup for years on our other Calamp devices and it was working great… i am thinking i need to change the startup mode…

That’s how I set mine up. Only difference is I use a port speed of 4800. Download and install RealTERM on your laptop; it will let you monitor the COM port to see what data is being received.
