PC CONNECTION (WINDOWS)

HOW TO INSTALL USB DRIVERS (WINDOWS)

Please download COM port drivers from here.
Extract and run TeltonikaCOMDriver.exe.
Click Next in driver installation window.
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)

Most Teltonika devices are shipped with default factory settings. Use Telematics Configuration Tool (TCT) to change these settings according to your needs.

	TCT
Operating system	Windows 10 Windows 11
MS .NET Framework version	MS .NET framework 6.0
Version	64 bit
Disk Storage	1 GB of free disk space
Internet	Ethernet port or Wi-Fi w/ network access for auto-update

TCT

Download the TCT (compressed archive).
Extract the archive and launch the executable. The TCT will be installed.
Launch the TCT.
In the Discovered devices list, select your device and press Configure.
The Device status window opens. It contains device, GNSS and Cellular information.

Save to device – saves configuration to device.

Upload file – loads configuration from file.

Save to file – saves configuration to file.

Update – update device firmware.

Reset configuration – sets device configuration to default.

Most important configuration sections are Mobile network (Server, Mobile network settings) and Tracking settings (data collection parameters). More details about FTC164 configuration using TCT can be found here.

QUICK SMS CONFIGURATION

The default configuration ensures best track quality and optimal data usage.

Quickly set up your device by sending this SMS command to it:

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION SETTINGS

After successful SMS configuration, FTC164 device will synchronize time and update records to configured server. Time intervals and default I/O elements can be changed by using TCT or Parameter list.
