 **Modbus data rate (BAUD rate)** - The speed of the bus can be set or changed to align with the devices connected to the Modbus RTU port. The drop-down menu list all seven speeds defined by the Modbus.org specifications (1200 to 115200 bps).   **Modbus data rate (BAUD rate)** - The speed of the bus can be set or changed to align with the devices connected to the Modbus RTU port.

 === GPS Location Lock registers === === GPS Location Lock registers ===
-Registers 17 through 20 are part of the GPS Location Lock feature. This feature works as a simple version of geo fencing for application such as rental equipment. When the lock is switched on, current GPS coordinates are saved as references (registers 17 & 18). If the ezeio (and GPS receiver) move from the reference coordinates the distance is calculated and shown in register 19, as meters. This value can be used in an alarm condition expression. //Example:// r(1,19) > 300  +Registers 17 through 20 are part of the GPS Location Lock feature.

 **20 Ref Location lock** - An On/Off switch is provided when this register is added to "Fields". Switching it on captures the current GPS coordinates and holds them in registers 17, 18. The difference between the current GPS coordinates (registers 12 & 13) and the locked reference Location (registers 17 & 18) is calculated in meters and shown in register 19. **20 Ref Location lock** - An On/Off switch is provided when this register is added to "Fields".

 +=== Group area matching ===
 +Register 21 is convenient to use for irregular shaped geographical boundaries. The value is set to the number of the group with the smallest area overlapping the controller location. An example of how to use this in an alarm expression is ''r(1,21) < 1''. This will trigger the alarm when no area matches the controller location.

 +
 +**21 Group by location** - The location of the controller (as determined by GPS, by cell tower or manually set) is compared every 10 minutes with the group areas in all subgroups to the group where the controller is. This register will be set to the group number of the smallest area that overlaps the controller location. If no area overlaps with the controller location, the value will be 0 (zero).
