Wiring scheme

For the more detailed MSP500 device wiring, see the scheme below.

 


PC Connection (Windows)

  1. Power-up MSP500 with DC voltage 10-30 V power supply using supplied power cable. LED’s should start blinking, see “MSP500 LED status”.
  2. Connect device to computer using USB B-Type cable connection:
  3. You are now ready to use the device on your computer.

How to install USB drivers (Windows)

Configuration (Windows)

At first MSP500 device will have default factory settings set. These settings should be changed according to the user's needs.
Main configuration can be performed via Teltonika Configurator software. Get the latest MSP500 Configurator version from here. Configurator operates on Microsoft Windows OS and uses prerequisite MS .NET Framework. Make sure you have the correct version installed.

MS .NET requirements
Operating system MS .NET Framework version Version Link
  • Windows Vista
  • Windows 7
  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows 10
 MS .NET Framework 4.6.2 32 and 64 bit www.microsoft.com

Downloaded Configurator will be in compressed archive. Extract it and launch Configurator.exe. After launch software language can be changed by clicking   in the right bottom corner:

 

Configuration process begins by pressing on connected device:

 

After connection to Configurator Status window will be displayed:

 

Various Status window tabs display information about GNSS, GSM, I/O, Maintenance and etc. MSP500 has one user editable profile, which can be loaded and saved to the device. After any modification of configuration the changes need to be saved to device using Save to device button. Main buttons offer following functionality:

  1.   Load from device – loads configuration from device.
  2.   Save to device – saves configuration to device.
  3.   Load from file – loads configuration from file.
  4.   Save to file – saves configuration to file.
  5.   Update firmware – updates firmware on device.
  6.   Read records – read records from device.
  7.   Reboot device – restarts device.
  8.   Reset configuration – sets device configuration to default.

Most important configurator section is GPRS – where all your server and GPRS settings can be configured and Data Acquisition – where data acquiring parameters can be configured. More details about MSP500 configuration using Configurator can be found here.

Quick SMS configuration

Default configuration has optimal parameters present to ensure best performance of track quality and 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, two space symbols should be inserted.

 
Default configuration settings
Movement and ignition detection:
  Vehicle movement will be detected by accelerometer   Ignition will be detected by vehicle power voltage between 13,2 – 30 V
Device makes a record On Moving if one of these events happen:
  300 seconds passes   Vehicle turns 10° degrees
  Vehicle drives 100 meters   Speed difference between last coordinate and current position is greater than 10 km/h
Device makes a record On Stop if:
  1 hour passes while vehicle is stationary and ignition is off
Records sending to server:
  If device has made a record it is sent to the server every 120 seconds


After successful SMS configuration, MSP500 device will synchronize time and update records to configured server. Time intervals and default I/O elements can be changed by using Teltonika Configurator or SMS parameters.
