Template:TCT Device Setup
Device Set-up
After launching the configurator you should see the TCT dashboard. You should start by clicking on the device set-up icon on the top right (shown below).
Pop-up window will show up with 3 necessary and 3 optional steps for device configuration.
First on the list is "Configure APN". Select the option after which you will be forwarded to the SIM settings window and mandatory fields will become highlighted while the rest of the screen becomes dimmed.
Enter APN which corresponds to your current operator and press "Next" which will move you to the IP and Domain entry window. Enter the domain or IP address and press "Next" again.
This will move you to the last necessary entry field which is Port. Enter the port and press "Next".
Within the next steps you will see optional configuration options for record profile settings, features and permanent I/O element configuration. These setup options are not mandatory although it is recommended to set them to make sure the device is fully set-up.
Min saved records defines the minimum number of coordinates and I/O data that should be transferred within a single connection to the server. If the device does not have enough coordinates to send to the server, it will check again after a time interval defined in Send period field. Send period controls the frequency of data being sent to the server over GPRS. The module makes attempts to send collected data to the server every defined period of time. If it does not have enough records (depends on the parameter Min. Saved Records described above), it tries again after the defined time interval.

The device is able to collect records using four methods at the same time: time, distance, angle, and speed-based data acquisition:
Time based data acquisition (By time) – records are acquired every time when a defined interval of time passes. Entering zero disables data acquisition based on time. Distance-based data acquisition (By distance) – records are acquired when the distance between the previous coordinate and current position is greater than a defined parameter value. Entering zero disables data acquisition based on distance. Angle based data acquisition (By angle) – records are acquired when the angle difference between the last recorded coordinate and current position is greater than a defined value. Entering zero disables data acquisition based on the angle. Speed based data acquisition (By speed change) – records are acquired when the speed difference between the last recorded coordinate and current position is greater than a defined value. Entering zero disables data acquisition based on speed.
