RS-485 supports only half-duplex communication, which means data is transferred only one way at a time.<br/>When activated RS-485 driver chip draws constant 30mA current, when entering Sleep or Deep sleep, RS-485 will be powered off.<br/>FMB125 RS-485 connection diagram is shown below.

* RS-232 RFID HID/RFID MF7 mode:
 
* RS-232 RFID HID/RFID MF7 mode:
The difference between ''RFID HID Mode'' and ''RFID MF7 Mode'' is that in ''RFID HID Mode'' FMB125 understands RFID messages that are in hexadecimal format and ''RFID MF7 Mode'' interpretes messages that are in decimal format. The type of RFID message sent to FMB125 depends on the RFID reader. For example, ''RFID HID mode'' message looks like "$aa$02$03$04$17$89$00$01" while ''MF7 mode'' message is of following format: "1213141519".<br/>The selected mode has to correspond to the RFID reader's mode.<br/>For more information about RFID IDs and devices please contact your local sales representative.

==Garmin protocols==
The following is a list of protocols supported and the corresponding feature/benefit. FMB125 can fully support Fleet Management Interface (FMI) versions up to 2.1. Other or higher versions may be supported, but Teltonika is not responsible for the changes made by Garmin, which may affect the function of FMB125 and Garmin products. For more information about Garmin products and FMI versions, please go to http://www8.garmin.com/solutions/pnd/supportedproducts.jsp. Notice that some Garmin products use different connection cables than others.

===Destination message===
 
===Destination message===
Destination message is used to inform the driver of a new destination. When Garmin device receives a destination message from the server it displays it as a "Stop" to the driver and also gives the driver an ability to start navigating to the "Stop" location. New destination in TAVL client is represented as a Geozone so a new Geozone (as destination) has to be created first.
