How to Enable or Disable GPS on a Frontier

Frontier GPS can be enabled or disabled to control whether your device reports its physical position to the Pulsa dashboard.

Before you begin

Confirm that your device:

  • Is a Frontier Link, Frontier Puck, or Frontier Digital.
  • Is running firmware version 5.5 or later.
  • Is powered on and able to connect to the cellular network.

Enabling GPS on a new Frontier

GPS is enabled by default when registering a new Frontier device.

  1. Begin the Frontier setup process in the Pulsa dashboard.
  2. Continue through the device configuration steps.
  3. Enable GPS positioning.
  4. Complete registration and configuration.

Once configured, your Frontier will begin checking for positioning information during its regular uploads.

Note: Allow 12–24 hours after registration and configuration for positioning information to become available.

Enabling GPS on an existing Frontier

If your Frontier was registered before GPS became available, you may need to enable the feature manually.

  1. Open the Frontier device in the Pulsa dashboard.
  2. Open the device's Manage panel.
  3. Locate the GPS setting.
  4. Enable GPS and save your changes.

The updated configuration will take effect once the device successfully receives it. Allow at least 12 hours for the change to take effect.

Disabling GPS

To stop your Frontier from reporting updated GPS positions:

  1. Open the Frontier device in the Pulsa dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the Manage panel.
  3. Disable GPS.
  4. Save your changes.

The change will take effect after the device successfully receives its updated configuration. Allow at least 12 hours for the change to take effect.
