Teltonika FMB/FMC & Other Series

This article explains the 3 ways to activate your Teltonika device.


1. Use the platform's Add Asset Wizard feature.

The add asset wizard can send commands using your SMS Gateway to automatically bring the device online (only works if you have configured an SMS gateway on the platform).



2. Use Teltonika's Software.

Use a USB cable and the configurator PC software or their mobile app with bluetooth to manually set the required settings

  1. In Server settings, set data.gpsiot.net on port 12070 using TCP 
  2. Set your sim card APN settings.
  3. Set the Record Settings to send oldest record first (chronological order)
  4. In data acquisition, use sensible parameters such as:
  5. Set Movement Source as Ignition (if you have connected an ignition wire)

Make sure you set the Record Settings to send oldest first  (sending in a non chronilogical order will cause issues if buffered data is sent in).
You must input your own APN settings for your GSM/SIM provider into our standard configuration file.


3. Using SMS / GPRS Commands


Switching Platform

If the tracker is already reporting to a different platform, and you want to switch to our platform, send the following GPRS command to point it to our server
  1. setparam 2004:data.gpsiot.net;2005:12070;2006:0;138:0;102:0;101:1;106:1;112:1;1002:1;50000:2:50002:1;50001:5

Dual Platform

If the tracker is already reporting to a different platform, and you want to point to our platform as well, use the Second Server Setting for backup server mode.
  1. setparam 2007:data.gpsiot.net;2008:12070

New Tracker

If the tracker is fresh out of the box, you will also need to set your APN details, replace the [APN], [USERNAME], [PASSWORD] details below, leave blank if any are not needed:
  1. setparam 2001:[APN];2002:[USERNAME];2003:[PASSWORD];2004:data.gpsiot.net;2005:12070;2006:0;138:0;102:0;101:1;106:1;112:1;1002:1;50000:2:50002:1;50001:5


SMS commands must start with 2 spaces at the start, these 2 spaces denote username and password which are blank by default



Understanding APNs

Your Tracker needs to log onto the sim card data network using the APN details, contact your sim provider to find out these details.
Note: Some just use APN, others need APN, USERNAME and PASSWORD

Example 1: APN with no APN username & password:
APN name: internet
APN username: blank
APN password: blank
Example command: setparam 2001:internet;2004:data.gpsiot.net;2005:12070;2006:0

Example 2: APN with APN username & password:
APN name: safaricom
APN username: saf
APN password: data
Example command: setparam 2001:safaricom;2002:saf;2003:data;2004:data.gpsiot.net;2005:12070;2006:0

 • Once the above command has been sent via SMS, and the device is connected to our platform, then GPRS commands can be sent.  Here is a list of some GPRS commands that can be sent and what they do, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nYh-pnvKqLf9MCS0htBVXd6aXWf44Hqq-RuUMDP0qTo/edit?usp=sharing

 

N.B. The ignition should be kept on whilst sending GPRS commands for them to take effect quickly.
