==='''Configure the Device'''===
After powering up your device, it should be configured to meet your needs. Here you will find steps on how to prepare your device for a first start.
===='''Configuration'''====
'''<nowiki>*</nowiki> If you would like to check how to insert SIM card into your particular device, you will find a link with all devices manuals here.'''
At first device will have default factory settings set. These settings should be changed according to the user's needs.<br />
Main configuration can be performed via '''[[Teltonika Configurator]]''' software. Get the latest '''Configurator''' version from '''[[{{{SAS_Configurator_Versions|Teltonika Configurator versions}}}|here]]'''. Configurator operates on Microsoft Windows OS and uses prerequisite latest MS .NET Framework.
Configuration process begins by pressing on connected device:
[[File:Faceless_configurator_select.png|370x370px]]
After connection to Configurator '''Status window''' will be displayed.
In the status window, you will be able to see crucial information that influence device operation such as GNSS and GSM statuses.
GNSS Info tab contains GNSS Status, Satellites and Location information.
* GNSS Status describes whether the module is ON, received/sent GNSS packets count, FIX status and FIX time
* Satellites provide you information about visible and currently in-use satellites
* Location provides you the coordinates, speed, altitude and angle of your current location.
GSM Info tab contains GSM Status, Records, GPRS Traffic, SMS Count and Sockets information
* GSM Status describes modem status, SIM state, GPRS status, signal level and operator code
* Records provide you information about sent records count and the date of last record sent/server response
* GPRS Traffic contains information about data usage
* SMS Count shows you sent/received SMS count
* Sockets provide status about AVL Data server communication

Configuration process begins by pressing on connected device:
After testing, Data Acquisition settings should be configured according to your needs.
The device will switch operating mode between On Stop and Moving based on configured corresponding movement source status.
More details about devices configuration using Configurator and more information about your particular device can be found [[Main Page|Teltonika WIKI documentation.]] Click on ''your device'' -> Configuration.
==='''Mount the Device'''===
Different types of devices have specific mounting instructions: some of them are simple plug-and-play, while other hard-wired devices require professional installation. Please find your specific device mounting instructions [[Main Page|Teltonika WIKI documentation.]] Click on ''your device'' -> First Start -> Mounting recommendations and precautions.
===='''Installation instructions'''====
[[File:OBD tracker mounting places.3.png]]
Considering the fact that different device types have different mounting positions, here are our recommendations for hard-wired devices:
* Mount under the plastic panel behind the front window
* Logo facing front window (sky)
* No metal parts surrounding the device
==='''Tracking the Device'''===
Last but not least step for Basic Testing would be to get data/track from your device.
This can be done by using either simple TCP/UDP listeners or pre-made tracking platform like listed [[Fleet Management platforms|here]].
Below you can find steps on how to setup simple TCP/UDP listener on your personal computer.
# Open [[Opening TCP/UDP port|TCP/UDP port]]
# Go to [[Java Parser First Start Guide]]
Below you can find pictures of how the track looks on different pre-made tracking platforms:

=='''<big>Advanced Testing</big>'''==
[[File:Discover more device possibilities in-depth banner.png]]
In this chapter we will review advanced device functionalities to get the most out of your Teltonika Telematics device. We will go through some of the specific, widespread use cases, however, keep in mind that device scenarios are not limited to just that. Available device functions can accomplish much wider range of application scenarios, which will be limited only by your imagination!
==='''Advanced SMS capabilities'''===
[[File:Faceless_configurator_select.png]]
Teltonika devices have broad SMS usage spectrum including advanced device configuration and debugging. A full list of SMS commands can be found [[FMB SMS/GPRS Commands|here.]]
For example, one of the most widely used SMS command for configuring the device is "setparam". Below you can see a description of this command:
[[File:Faceless_configurator.png]]
Setparam changes parameter value. Command structure is: ''"<SMS_Login><Space><SMS_Password><Space>setparam<Space>[Parameter ID]'' ''':''' ''[New Parameter Value]'' ''';''' ''[Parameter ID]'' ''':''' ''[New Parameter Value]''..." Parameter ID consists of 3 or 5 digits. A detailed list of parameters and identifiers can be found [[FMB Device Family Parameter list|here]].
{| class="wikitable"
|+
|[[File:WIKI_hover.gif]]
|You can also find parameter ID by hovering mouse pointer over specific parameter in configurator.
|}
SMS command is limited to 160 characters.
Example:
"setparam 2001:wap" will change configured APN name.
Answer:
"Param ID:2001 Value:wap2"
Example:
"setparam 2001:wap;2002:user;2003:pass" will change configured APN name, APN username and APN password.
'''Note''': Before SMS text, two space symbols should be inserted.<br /><br />
==='''Advanced Use Case configuration'''===
Our devices can be as simple or as complicated as you want them to be. Having one firmware and one configurator for all the devices allows different devices to be used in a broad spectrum of use cases. Other use cases have specific devices assigned.
To show how easy it is to use our devices in different use cases we prepared a technical description of what steps are needed to integrate our device into your use case.
Each category explains what parameters have to be configured and why as well as showing examples of what information you should expect on your server and how to read it.
'''General''' use case descriptions, an overview of the most commonly used solutions, their topologies, and possibilities, provided on the Teltonika website '''[https://teltonika-gps.com/industries/use-cases/ USE CASES]'''.
'''Specific technical''' use case instructions can be found [[Usage scenarios|here.]]
=='''<big>Solutions</big>'''==
[[File:Extend device's capabilities with our solutions banner.png]]
In this section we will get acquainted with our most useful and simple to utilize solutions which will provide remote access, management and control of your device as well as external devices like tachograph.
=='''Installation instructions'''==
==='''FOTA WEB'''===
FOTA WEB – a brand new and exciting solution for remote access to your Teltonika Fleet management devices! FOTA WEB enables firmware upgrades, configuration changes, remote device debugging of FMx devices, as well as CAN adapter updates without a need of a dedicated application – everything is achieved through your regular Web browser, from any device.

If you would like to have your own FOTA WEB account, please contact your Sales Manager. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiMwnkEEes4 Short video about FOTA WEB.]
(metal free)
[[File:Faceless_device.jpg|center|]]
Moreover, we also have a desktop FOTA solution: desktop ''FOTA is predecessor of FOTA WEB, which is mainly used for updating EOL (End-Of-Life, - FM5300, FMA120 etc.) devices. We strongly advise to use our newest [[FOTA WEB]] platform for OTA changes.''
'''''Note:''''' FOTA WEB meets all '''GDPR''' requirements thus '''we do not store, track or analyze your personal data.'''
==='''WEB Tacho'''===
Teltonika WEB Tacho is an online service that allows to remotely download Tachograph files from supported tachographs, using Teltonika professional trackers. Files are stored on server, in defined format (.DDD, .V1B, .C1B, .TGD). Files can be downloaded – directly from the website, receive in Email, receive to defined FTP server. For more information click '''[[WEB Tacho|here.]]''' If you would like to have your own WEB Tacho account, please contact your Sales Manager.
=='''<big>Protocols</big>'''==
[[File:FMB120 install2.jpg|center|]]
[[File:Understand communication language banner.png]]
Our devices communicate using unique Teltonika's protocols. Protocols are applied for different usage scenarios using Codecs. Each Codec has its own structure and application scenario. A codec is a device or computer program for encoding or decoding a digital data stream or signal.
==='''Data sending protocols'''===
Each Codec used by Teltonika devices has different purpose. For example, [[Codec#Codec 8 Extended|Codec 8 Extended]] is main FM device protocol used to send data to server, while [[Codec#Codec for communication over GPRS messages|Codec 12]] is used for device-server communication using GPRS messages. All information about Teltonika's communication protocols used by FM devices can be found [[Codec|here.]]
==='''Protocols implementation'''===
TCP/UDP listener and AVL Records parser, which source code could be used as a template for developing your own server, can be helpful for implementing protocols. A full software pack can be downloaded from [[Special:Redirect/file/Protocols_and_AVL_parser_pack.zip|here.]] Archive password: 1234.
Each device I/O parameter has its own unique ID, which is called AVL ID. Once the TCP/UDP listener and AVL Records parser are implemented, received AVL IDs descriptions can be checked in the AVL ID list page for your specific device (for example: [[FMB120_Teltonika_Data_Sending_Parameters_ID|FMB120]] ).
