Overview
GPS Functionality on the NTC-223
The standard NTC-223 router does not have a dedicated GPS antenna socket and its standard user interface
contains no references to any GPS settings or other GPS related functionality.
GPS functionality on the NTC-223 is available if users connect an optional Navisys GR-701U GPS Receiver antenna
into the Micro USB port.
As soon as the Navisys GR-701U GPS Receiver antenna is connected to the Micro USB port additional GPS settings
and functionality will appear in the NTC-223 user interface.
Purpose of this document
This document explains how to set up the USB GPS antenna and then describes the GPS settings and functionality
available to NTC-223 users.
