<table><td>[[File:Alert.png|50px|left|link=]]</td><td><b>{{{sim_type|Micro-}}}SIM card insertion/removal must be performed when device is turned off. Otherwise {{{sim_type|Micro-}}}SIM card might be damaged or device will not detect it.</b></td></table>

===PC Connection (Windows)===
1.	Remove the cover.

2.	Turn on your device by flipping the switch to '''ON'''.

3.	Connect device to computer using '''Micro-USB cable'''. You will need to install USB drivers, see “How to install USB drivers (Windows)” shown below.

4.	You are now ready to use the device on your computer.

===How to install USB drivers (Windows)===
1.	Please download COM port drivers from '''[[Media:TeltonikaCOMDriver.zip|here]]'''.

2.	Extract and run '''TeltonikaCOMDriver.exe'''. 

3.	Click Next in driver installation window. 

4.	In the following window click '''Install''' button. 
Setup will continue installing the driver and eventually the confirmation window will appear. Click '''Finish''' to complete the setup.

===Configuration (Windows)===

At first the device will have default factory settings unless you order pre-configured device. These settings should be changed according to the user's needs.<br/>
Main configuration can be performed via '''[[TAT240_Stable_firmware|Teltonika Configurator]]''' software. Configurator operates on Microsoft Windows OS and uses prerequisite MS .NET Framework. Make sure you have the correct version installed.

[[File:FMB_Configurator_language.jpg|400px]]

Configuration process begins by pressing on connected device:

[[Image:TAT140 Button.png]]


After connection to Configurator '''Status window''' will be displayed:

[[Image:TAT140 Main Status.png|1000px|]]

Various '''Status info''' tabs display information about '''GNSS''', '''GSM''', '''I/O''', '''Maintenance''' and etc. {{{model|TAT240}}} has one user editable profile, which can be loaded and saved to the device. After any modification of configuration the changes need to be saved to device using '''Save to device''' button. Main buttons offer following functionality:<br/>
# [[File:Load_from_device.png|25px|link=]] '''Load from device''' – loads configuration from device.
# [[File:Save_to_device.png|25px|link=]] '''Save to device''' – saves configuration to device.
# [[File:Load_from_file.png|25px|link=]] '''Load from file''' – loads configuration from file.
# [[File:Save_to_file.png|25px|link=]] '''Save to file''' – saves configuration to file.
# [[File:Firmware_update.png|25px|link=]] '''Update firmware''' – updates firmware on device.
# [[File:Read_records.png|25px|link=]] '''Read records''' – read records from device.
# [[File:Reboot_device.png|25px|link=]] '''Reboot device''' – restarts device.
# [[File:Reset_configuration.png|25px|link=]] '''Reset configuration''' – sets device configuration to default.

Most important configurator sections are GPRS – where all your server and '''GPRS settings''' can be configured and '''Tracking''' – where data acquiring parameters can be configured.
More details about {{{model|TAT240}}} configuration using Configurator can be found [[TAT240 Manual|here]].

===Important configuration notes===
[[Image:Server_settings_tat100.png|right|300px|]]
We strongly recommend testing the network connection from device to the server before adjusting TAT240 configuration to your needs.<br>

Use the following steps to perform this test:<br>
* Configure these parameters: APN, server Domain and server Port
* Save configuration to the device by clicking on a Save to device button;
* Initiate connection by pressing the '''Test Connection''' button

At this point, TAT240 device will create one high-priority record and initiates connection to the server immediately.
If connection was not initiated, it can mean any of the following:
* Improperly inserted SIM Card
* Incorrect values are set to these fields: APN, Domain or Port
* GPRS functionality disabled by GSM provider
* No GSM coverage
* Server cannot be reached

Try solving this problem before proceeding with further device configuration. <br>

===Tracking scenarios===
[[Image:Tracking_TAT100.png|right|300px|]]
'''Periodic:''' This mode is used to get positioning data at fixed intervals. Configuration range is from 360 to 259200 (in seconds).<br>

{| class="main-table" style="background: #E7F1FE; color: black;"
{| style="width: 800px;height: 60px; text-align: left; border: 1 px solid #0054A6; border-bottom: 1px solid #0054A6; border-left: 1px solid #0054A6;border-top: 1px solid #0054A6;border-right: 1px solid #0054A6;background: #E7F1FE; color: black; text-align: left; padding: 10px;"
| style="width: 40px;height: 20px;padding: 10px;" | [[File:Note_icon.png|30 px|link=]] 
|| '''Please note:'''<br> 
* Default tracking period (On Move/On stop) is set to 28800 seconds (8 hours)
* Frequent tracking period will reduce battery lifetime!
* For more information refer to:[[TAT240_Tracking_settings | Tracking settings]]
|}


'''Scheduler:''' This mode is used to get positioning data at fixed schedule. Device can send positioning data up to 6 times on set days.<br>
'''Time Zone:''' Set tracking scenario time zone. Time zone can be set in range of -12h to +14h.<br>
<br><br><br><br><br>
'''Main rules of Schedule setting:'''<br>
* Intervals between time must be at least 6 minutes.
* Days of the week must be selected and highlighted for the device to send records according to set schedule.<br><br>

| style="width: 40px;height: 20px;padding: 10px;" | [[File:Note_icon.png|30 px|link=]] 
|| '''Please note:'''<br> 
Device has up to 3 min. hardcoded time to get fixed position while it's awake from a Sleep Mode. <br>
If GNSS signal is poor - device will need more time to get fixed position. Battery usage is higher while device is looking for GNSS positions than it stays in Sleep Mode.

===Mounting recommendations===

The thoughtful placement of an asset tracker in a vehicle is key to ensuring seamless tracking and obtaining accurate location. We categorize the mounting places into three groups based on expected GNSS signal strength, helping you make informed decisions when choosing the asset tracker's location in the vehicle.
<br>
<br>
<font color="#20c850"><b>High Signal Strength Locations:</b> </font>
<br>
* Front and rear bumper<br>
* Glove box<br>
* Behind the front or rear lights<br>
<font color="#f5bf18"><b>Medium Signal Strength Locations:</b></font>
<br>
* Under the car <br>
* Central console compartment<br>
<font color="#f51818"><b>Low Signal Strength Locations:</b></font>
<br>
* Trunk <br>
* Under the seat <br>
* Door compartment<br>
<br>
[[File:Tat glovebox.jpg|alt=|left|thumb|546x546px|Glovebox]]
[[File:Tat_lights.jpg|alt=|right|thumb|546x546px|Tail Lights]]
[[File:Tat_center_console.jpg|alt=|left|thumb|546x546px|Central Console]]
[[File:Tat_underneath1.jpg|alt=|thumb|546x546px|Underneath the car]]
[[File:Tat_underneath2.jpg|alt=|center|thumb|890x890px|Underneath the car]]

<br>
Understanding these specific mounting places in each category will guide you in strategically placing GPS asset trackers, maximizing their battery life, and ensuring reliable periodic location monitoring.<br>
It is always a good idea to position the antenna in such a way that there is as little metal and other obstructions in the way towards the outside of the vehicle. Similar to the example where device is placed behind the rear lights - <b>it is better if antenna is facing the plastic light fitting instead of facing upwards to the metal vehicle frame.</b><br>

| style="{{{TAT100_note|}}}text-align: left; background: #F6F6FB;"         | While we have suggested categories and examples for optimal GPS tracker placement, it's essential to note that these are recommendations. <b>Every vehicle is unique, and factors like model, make, and construction materials can impact GPS signal reception differently.</b><br>
Before installing a larger quantity of devices, <b>we strongly recommend conducting individual tests on your specific vehicles.</b> This will help identify the most suitable placement that aligns with your expectations and ensures optimal GPS signal strength.<br>
