  1. Use ProPhoneix to verify ComPort being used that needs to be split

  2. Close all applications that are using GPS

  3. Split port receiving GPS by Phoenix with TraCS ComSplitter

  4. Split to 2 ports that are not being used with the TraCOMSplitter2.2

    1. Download Link: https://wisdot.box.com/s/oalg4mi9hwoifu49spzlqncps6tbn80o

      1. install splitter on machine by running EXE file

  5. OPTIONAL: Use DSPComData.exe to verify receiving gps through both ports

    1. Download link: https://wisdot.box.com/s/twc49xf77thip3pi61q1f718rjp12xb4

      1. Open EXE

      2. Input com port number, enter, and then baud rate

      3. Do the same for the other port

  6. Give TraCS the higher number (not sure if this matters but worked for me)

    1. go to C:\ProgramData\TraCS\Settings\DLL Settings

    2. Open GPS file, Change to com port in GPS.ini to one of the comports you created

  7. Give prophonix the lower com port

    1. Open Phoenix Client Application Manager

    3. GPS Client Configuration

      1. Check GPS Com/UDP Device Custom Config

      2. Specify comport (Example “COM9”) Must type out COM

      3. Baud Rate 4800

      4. Data bits 8

      5. Parity NONE

      6. Stop bits 1

  8. Open Task manager and end all tasks relating to ProPhoenix and GPS

  9. Open TraCS to verify GPS is working

  10. Open ProPhoenix to verify GPS is working

    1. ProPhoenix can take a few minutes to correctly implement gps config change

  11. If all your machines end up using different com ports, you will want to disable the gps settings in your TraCS Distribution

    1. open the Configuration Wizard form in TraCS and in Exclude These Settings From Distribution, make sure that GPS Source, GPS Port Number, and Comm Port Setting are all set in this box

    2. If they are not there, add them and validate. Run the distribution no all machines that use gps.

    3. If these values are already in this field you can ignore this step.
