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 FTM887 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, FTM887 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.
