Overview

This use case is for customers who purchase MVS or Edge solutions, but don't want to use the DVR's built-in GPS or did not purchase GPS antennas to do so.

Note:
If managed via Netcloud Manager, the following changes can be made to all Cradlepoint routers at once, otherwise the configuration must be applied to each router individually.
Caution:
Getac will not configure, install, manage, or support customer networking equipment or applications. The information provided is designed as a walkthrough to allow integration with 3rd-party solutions. Instructions are based off a typical Getac MVS or Edge installation with a Cradlepoint IBR1100 model router and may not be applicable with other models. Consult a Getac representative for more information.
