Fixed paragraph for device port. Added converting binary section.
The Telematics Configuration Tool (TCT) introduces an easier way to '''debug''' '''FTx platform''' devices – '''Terminal tool'''. This new feature allows you to monitor their connected device actions and find possible issues related to the device’s functionality without using third-party tools.

If Terminal tool takes too much of your screen real estate, at any given time you can minimize it using “Minimize” button on the right side of Terminal tool UI. Minimizing Terminal tool doesn’t stop debug messages logging.

=== Launching Terminal tool (Device port) and connecting FTx device ===
Connecting to the "Device" port allows you to send commands to the connected device and receive instant responses, allowing for precise troubleshooting.
# To launch Terminal tool. At the top of the TCT window, click on “Settings” button and click then “Terminal”.
# Terminal tool can be launched in TCT start-up window or after connecting to the FTx platform device.
# To connect FTx platform device. Make sure that the device is connected to your computer and in Terminal tool press the “+” button on the left side of Terminal tool UI for a new connection, select the device from the dropdown list, and select the “Debug” port.
Below is a list of commands for FTx devices that can be sent using the Device port:
* ''.info -'' Returns general information about the device such as FW version and build time, GNSS version information, HW information and device flash;
* .''imei'' - Returns device IMEI;
=== Converting internal device binary logs ===
With 2.0.0 or later TCT version Terminal Tool can even convert internal device binary logs into human-readable text, enabling in-depth analysis of the device's previous behavior. When downloading logs (dump) from the FTx device using TCT, you will find both .bin and .txt files of the logs.
