  1. 1

    Capture a Cautela fingerprint

    Confirm a CSV line type,imei,dd,mm,yy,lat,lon,hhmm. Extra columns after hhmm are ignored.

  2. 2

    Point Cautela at 5160

    Configure only Cautela to TCP 5160. Cautela on 5160 is not Avema on 5171 or Auro on 5096.

  3. 3

    Do not wait for an ACK

    Cautela has no reply byte. A parsed lat/lon pair is enough.

  4. 4

    Prove one Cautela fix

    Send one line whose latitude sits before longitude and verify a map point.

Still offline after GPS lock

Cautela still not landing

Cautela aimed at the wrong port

Cautela on 5160 is not Avema on 5171 or Auro on 5096.

Map inverted vs Avema docs

Cautela is latitude then longitude. Avema on 5171 is longitude then latitude.

Date parse failure

Expect three numbers dd,mm,yy. A single yyyymmddhhmmss stamp is Avema, not Cautela.
