At first, {{{model|FTC881}}} device will have default factory settings set. These settings should be changed according to the user's needs. Main configuration can be performed via [https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/Telematics_Configuration_Tool_(TCT) Teltonika Configurator tool (TCT)].
Most Teltonika devices are shipped with default factory settings. Use [https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/Telematics_Configuration_Tool_(TCT) Telematics Configuration Tool (TCT)] to change these settings according to your needs.

Small and smart waterproof tracker

FTC881


KNOW YOUR DEVICE

HOW TO REMOVE COVER

Device casing is designed to be water-proof and meets IP69K requirements. Please note that once the cover is fully clipped, it will require additional plastic pry tools to be opened! Please make sure to review the short walkthrough video for more details:

SET UP YOUR DEVICE

Physical SIM card insertion/removal must be performed when device is powered off – external voltage disconnected. Otherwise, the SIM card might be damaged or device will not detect it.
  1. Device is delivered partly closed. Gently remove FTC881 cover.
  2. Insert SIM card as shown. Make sure that SIM card cut-off corner is pointing towards SIM slot.
  3. Battery is already connected, so after configuring device fully close casing.
  4. Device is ready to be mounted.

TCT

  1. Download the TCT (compressed archive).
  2. Extract the archive and launch the executable. The TCT will be installed.
  3. Launch the TCT.
  4. In the Discovered devices list, select your device and press Configure.
  5. 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 FTC881 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:

 " setparam 2001:APN;2002:APN_username;2003:APN_password;2004:Domain;2005:Port;2006:0"

GPRS settings:

  • 2001 – APN
  • 2002 – APN username (if there are no APN username, empty field should be left)
  • 2003 – APN password (if there are no APN password, empty field should be left)

Server settings:

  • 2004 – Domain
  • 2005 – Port
  • 2006 – Data sending protocol (0 – TCP, 1 – UDP)

Note: Before SMS text, one space symbol should be inserted.

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION SETTINGS





















After successful SMS configuration, FTC881 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.

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

DEVICE FASTENING

  • Locate the battery in your vehicle. If present remove the battery cover to access the battery.
  • There is a double sided tape on the back of the device, use it to attach the device on the battery, so that the GNSS antenna and LEDs indicators are facing up.

CONNECTING POWER SOURCE

  • Device power wire is designed to be directly connected to the positive terminal fastener of the vehicle battery.

CONNECTING GROUND WIRE

  • Device ground wire is designed to be directly connected to the negative terminal fastener of the vehicle battery.
