Set Up Your Device

How to Insert Micro-SIM Card and Connect the Battery

1. Gently remove the FMB120 cover using a plastic pry tool from both sides.
2. Insert the Micro-SIM card, ensuring the PIN request is disabled or configured later via Teltonika Configurator. The cut-off corner of the Micro-SIM card should point towards the slot.
3. Connect the battery to the device, positioning it so it does not obstruct other components.
4. After configuration, re-attach the device cover. Refer to the “PC Connection (Windows)” section.

Figures 4, 5, 6, and 7 illustrate the cover removal, Micro-SIM card insertion, battery connection, and cover attachment processes.

PC Connection (Windows)

To connect the FMB120 to a PC:

1. Power the FMB120 using a 10-30 V DC power supply and the supplied cable. LEDs should start blinking.
2. Connect the device to your computer via either:
   • Micro-USB cable: Requires installing USB drivers. See “How to install USB drivers (Windows)”.
   • Bluetooth: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your PC. Select “Add Bluetooth or other device” > “Bluetooth”. Choose your device (named “FMBxxx_last_7_imei_digits”, without LE). Enter the default password “5555”, press Connect, and then select Done.
3. The device is now ready for use on your computer.

How to Install USB Drivers (Windows)

1. Download COM port drivers from the provided link.
2. Extract and run “TeltonikaCOMDriver.exe”.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts, clicking “Next” and then “Install”.
4. Upon completion, click “Finish” in the confirmation window.

Configuration (Windows)

The FMB120 comes with default factory settings. Configuration is performed using the Teltonika Configurator software. Ensure you have the correct version of the MS .NET Framework installed.

Download the Configurator, extract it, and launch “Configurator.exe”. The software language can be changed via the option shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8 Language selection shows the language selection interface.

The configuration process starts upon connecting the device via USB (Figure 9).

Figure 9 Device connected via USB shows the device connected status.

After connecting, the Status window will appear (Figure 10).

Figure 10 Configurator Status window displays various configuration options and device information.

The Status window provides information on GNSS, GSM, I/O, Maintenance, and more. You can load and save user-editable profiles. Changes must be saved using the “Save to device” button.

Main buttons include:

• Load from device: Loads configuration from the device.
• Save to device: Saves configuration to the device.
• Load from file: Loads configuration from a file.
• Save to file: Saves configuration to a file.
• Update firmware: Updates the device firmware.
• Read records: Reads records from the device.
• Reboot device: Restarts the device.
• Reset configuration: Resets device configuration to default.

Key sections within the Configurator are GPRS (for server and GPRS settings) and Data Acquisition (for data acquiring parameters). More details are available on the Teltonika Wiki.

Quick SMS Configuration

The FMB120 can be quickly configured using SMS commands. The default configuration provides optimal parameters for track quality and data usage.

Send the following SMS command to the device:

setparam 2001:APN;2002:APN_username;2003:APN_password;2004:Domain;2005:Port;2006:0

Note: Two space symbols should precede the SMS text.

GPRS settings:

• 2001 – APN
• 2002 – APN username (leave empty if not applicable)
• 2003 – APN password (leave empty if not applicable)

Server settings:

• 2004 – Domain
• 2005 – Port
• 2006 – Data sending protocol (0 for TCP, 1 for UDP)

Default configuration settings include:

• Movement and ignition detection: Movement is detected by accelerometer; ignition by vehicle power voltage (13.2 – 30 V).
• Record On Moving events: Device records when 300 seconds pass, vehicle turns 10 degrees, vehicle drives 100 meters, or speed difference exceeds 10 km/h.
• Record On Stop events: Device records if stationary with ignition off for 1 hour.
• Records sending: Records are sent to the server every 120 seconds.

After SMS configuration, the device synchronizes time and updates records. Time intervals and I/O elements can be adjusted via Teltonika Configurator or SMS parameters.

Mounting Recommendations

Follow these guidelines for proper installation:

Connecting Wires

• Connect wires while the module is not plugged in.
• Fasten wires to stable parts, away from heat-emitting or moving objects.
• Ensure no wires are exposed; apply isolation material if factory isolation was removed.
• If wires are exposed to damage, heat, humidity, or dirt, apply additional isolation and secure them.
• Do not connect wires to board computers or control units.

Connecting Power Source

• Ensure power remains available after the car computer enters sleep mode (may take 5-30 minutes).
• Measure voltage after connecting the module to confirm it hasn't decreased.
• Connect to the main power cable in the fuse box. A 3 A, 125 V external fuse is recommended.

Connecting Ignition Wire

• Verify it is a true ignition wire (power does not disappear after engine start).
• Avoid ACC wires (which have power in the first key position).
• Check that power is still available when vehicle devices are turned off.
• Connect to the ignition relay output or an alternative relay providing power when ignition is on.

Connecting Ground Wire

• Connect to the vehicle frame or fixed metal parts.
• If using a bolt, ensure the loop is connected to the wire's end.
• Scrub paint from the connection spot for better contact.
