|<strong>How do I send SMS command to Teltonika Telematics device? </strong>
|-
|There is a certain structure that the command has to follow:
For example, if we would want to send SMS command getinfo:
If you have set SMS login and password: <strong>login pass getinfo</strong>
If SMS login and password are not set leave two spaces before command: <strong>getinfo</strong>

|<strong>Is there a way to implement seat belt detection with a device with only one digital input? </strong>
|-
| There are 2 methods we can follow:
1. Digital Input: if the device only has 1 Digital input which is mostly used to connect the ignition cable, In this use case - the ignition source can be set to power voltage and the seatbelt sensor can be connected to Digital input with priority - High and Operand "On change".
2. Analog Input: The seat belt sensor can be connected to Analog Input 1 with priority - high and low-level values (depending on the voltage from the seatbelt, let's say 12 VDC) - 10 VDC and High level - 13 VDC. The idea is to make the voltage fall between low-level and high-level values and generate an event when the voltage enters that range.
IO settings guide: [[FMC920 I/O settings]]
It is recommended to use FMX130 as the device has a Ground sense option which will be easier to connect and DIN1 can be used for accurate Ignition detection.

|<strong>Where can I find a simple and understandable description of the data sent from the device to the server, along with an explanation? I need to understand what the server sees, how it is written, and what the specific values mean.</strong>
|<strong>Why does the TAT100 device appear offline on my server? </strong>
|-
|-
|In the link below you can find a full explanation of the Teltonika protocols with details about Codec 8 and Codec 8 extended protocols, used for data sending, and Codec 12 for sending GPRS commands: https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/Teltonika_Data_Sending_Protocols
| The TAT100 always works in Deep-sleep mode, and the open link Timeout is 30sec maximum, so the device does not stay connected to the server - this is done to preserve the battery life and allow the device to work longer.

|<strong>After creating my server, I started to receive the same message from the device for multiple times. Should I respond to it? If yes, whats the format of the response?
|<strong>Can I send an SMS or command to the TAT100? </strong>
</strong>
|-
|-
|First, when module connects to server, module sends its IMEI. First comes short identifying number of bytes written and then goes IMEI as text (bytes).
| Yes, you can send a command to the TAT100 and it will execute this command once it wakes up.
|}
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" role="presentation"
|<strong>When does TAT100 connect to FOTA WEB? </strong>
|-
| TAT100 devices do not connect to FOTA Web periodically. It will automatically connect to FOTA Web only on initial startup (when the switch is flipped from OFF to ON position). Connection to FOTA Web should be initiated via the 'web_connect' SMS/GPRS command. This is to preserve battery power.

|<strong>I tried to implement my server but I couldnā€™t create a tool to listen to the data sent by the device. Does Teltonika have any tools to help in receiving the packets? And to parse the data received? If yes, where I can find it?</strong>
|<strong>Can DSM detect 2 or more events at the same time? </strong>
|-
|-
|Yes, Teltonika has a TCP and UDP listeners that makes part of the Teltonika Parser Pack. In the Parser Pack you can also find the Teltonika Parser to decode the data received by the listeners. You can find the download link of the parser pack here: https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/Universal_Device_Test_Guide#Protocols_implementation
| Yes, it can detect multiple events at the same time. The events are placed in a queue and then reported based on their generation time.

|<strong>After implement my own server I started to receive a packet with multiple records, how can I know which record was generated first?
|<strong>Which SMS encoding is supported by Teltonika Telematics devices? </strong>
</strong>
|-
|-
|When you receive a packet with multiple records in the same Data Packet you can use the Timestamp to know when the record was generated.
| The device received commands encoded in Unicode and any third-party SMS portal should have the support of format SMS Default Alphabet while initiating communication with the Teltonika device. FMC devices support SMS Default Alphabet, also known as GSM-7, encoding only - this encoding standard should be configured at the sending device/application.

|<strong>I want to receive the data generated by the Teltonika device, does Teltonika have any server or service for this purpose? In case not, Are there any recommendations on how to proceed to receive the data?</strong>
|<strong>When opening the configurator, a .NET error is shown. I tried installing .NET 7.0, but the error remained. How can this be solved? </strong>
|-
|-
|As we are a Hardware manufacturer we donā€™t count on a server or service that you can use to see the data generated by your device. So we can offer different solutions for you to reach your goals. [SP1]
| New Configurators use the newer .NET version - please make sure the correct version is installed and remove other (unused) .NET versions – more information can be found here: [[.NET Runtime for Desktop installation]]
Note #1: The Ways to determine the required version section is especially important here. It will help you decide which version you should choose.
# You can develop your platform to receive and parse the data generated by the device. To develop your platform you should have some knowledge about programming and networks.
Note #2: x86 is recommended even with Microsoft Windows 64-bit Operating System.

|<strong>I want to develop a Vehicle Tracking System using your GPS Tracker. So, my question is what are the required knowledge/skills to set up my server for sending/receiving data to the Teltonika tracker? I am confused about how to set up my server to send and receive the data from the device</strong>
|<strong>What is FOTA Web and how is it useful? Can you see the device's real-time location using this system? </strong>
|-
|-
|To develop your platform first you must be aware of some sort of information/tech skills, such as device Data Sending Protocols, device data sending parameters, basic concepts of network communications, such as communication protocols, open and test IP and ports and how to parse the data received using source codes or the provide protocols.
| FOTA Web is simply a device management platform that is used to assign files to the device remotely, such as firmware, configuration files, etc.
FOTA Web is '''not''' a tracking platform and does not report the device's real-time location.
You can find more information about the FOTA Web tool here: [[FOTA WEB]]

|<strong>How to use the device transfer feature in FOTA Web? </strong>
|-
|-
|Currently, the Teltonika devices works with 03 different protocols for Data Sending; TCP, UDP, and MQTT. You can open a TCP or a UDP port on your PC to receive the data sent by your device. You can make sure that the port is open using external websites like canyouseeme (https://www.canyouseeme.org), port checker (https://portchecker.co/) and others. If youā€™re unable to open ports, you can use external tools such as ngrok (https://ngrok.com/) to virtually route the ports.
| Device transfer is a feature in FOTA Web that allows clients to directly move devices amongst their accounts without the need to involve Teltonika.
More information about this feature can be found here: [https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/FOTA_WEB_Devices#Device_transfer Device transfer]

|<strong>I have done the IMEI acknowledgment part by sending 01 to the device upon reception of IMEI. Now, having a bit of difficulty in sending the number of data packets received on the server from the FMX device. What exactly should I do to properly respond to the device?
|<strong>How do I update configurations remotely via Teltonika FOTA Web? </strong>
</strong>
|-
|-
|After receiving the AVL packet from the device you should respond with the number of records is in the packet, which is present in the payload and presented as Number of Data 1 and/ or Number of Data 2.
| Kindly use the FOTA Web to remotely update configurations to units as explained here: [[FOTA WEB|FOTA Web]]
Steps are:
1. Upload the configuration file in FOTA Web under the files tab.
2. Head over to the devices tab then select the devices to receive the configuration.
3. Click on Create Task and choose Update Configuration on the drop-down then below it, choose the uploaded file, then click on Create Task.
The task will be executed the next time the device connects to FOTA Web or you can force it to connect immediately by sending a command '''''web_connect''''', or by forcing a hard restart of the unit by unplugging the power and the internal battery then plugging it back on - then the task will be executed immediately.

|<strong>What is the battery life of TAT1XY? </strong>
|-
|-
|First, be sure that you're trying to decode using the proper protocol. I mean, if you configured the device to send messages using UDP to your server you must select UDP in the Parser, if you set the device to send the records using the TCP Protocol you must select the TCP in Parser.
| TAT1XX can send approximately 1000 records, this may differ depending on the environment, coverage, Temperature, and device mounting,

|<strong>In documentation it states that the Beacon data will be sent via AVL ID 385, but data from FMB140 is being sent with AVL ID:548. </strong>
|-
| When the simple mode is selected beacon parsing is done automatically so AVL ID:385 is used
When advanced beacon mode is selected, beacon data capturing can be configured manually and to distinguish simple and advanced functionalities a different ID is used - AVL ID 548.
For advanced beacon configuration documentation, you can find it here: [[Advanced Beacon Capturing Configuration]]

|<strong>I have implemented Codec8 Extended protocol. Communication is working correctly, IMEI and AVL packets are working fine, but the unit sends 0xFF instead of AVL packets sometimes. Is there any use of this packet and is it necessary to send some data as a response back? </strong>
|-
| It seems that You have enabled the Network Ping Timeout feature.
What Network Ping Timeout does is it sends an empty packet (0xFF) to the server to make sure that the operator does not close a link between the device and the server.
If you don't want to receive 0xFF packets anymore you can set Network Ping Timeout to 0 seconds.
