Using the Teltonika Configurator

The Teltonika Configurator software allows for detailed device management. After downloading the Configurator (usually in a compressed archive), extract and launch Configurator.exe. The software language can be changed via an icon in the bottom right corner (?).

The configuration process begins after connecting the device to the PC.

The Configurator's "Status" window displays various information tabs, including GNSS, GSM, I/O, and Maintenance.

The TAT141 supports one user-editable profile that can be loaded onto or saved from the device.

After making any configuration changes, they must be saved to the device using the "Save to device" button (?).

Key functionalities of the 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's firmware (?).
• Read records: Reads data records from the device (?).
• Reboot device: Restarts the device (?).
• Reset configuration: Resets the device configuration to its default settings (⚙️).

The most critical sections within the Configurator are "GPRS" (for server and GPRS settings) and "Data Acquisition" (for data collection parameters). For more in-depth configuration details, consult the Teltonika Wiki.

Quick SMS Configuration

To quickly set up your device for optimal tracking and data usage, send the following SMS command:

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

Note: Ensure there are two space symbols before the SMS text.

GPRS SETTINGS:

• 2001 - APN: Access Point Name.
• 2002 - APN username: Enter the APN username. Leave blank if not applicable.
• 2003 - APN password: Enter the APN password. Leave blank if not applicable.

SERVER SETTINGS:

• 2004 - Domain: Server domain name.
• 2005 - Port: Server port number.
• 2006 - Data sending protocol: 0 for TCP, 1 for UDP.

Diagram Description: An example SMS conversation is shown on a smartphone screen, demonstrating the setparam command with sample values for APN, Domain, and Port.

Default Configuration Settings

The TAT141 can be configured for different tracking behaviors:

• Movement Detection: Device movement is detected by the accelerometer.
• Device Makes a Record on Stop If: Records data after 28800 seconds of inactivity.
• Device Makes a Record on Moving If One of These Events Happen: Records data after 28800 seconds of movement.

Time intervals and default I/O elements can be adjusted using the Teltonika Configurator.

Important Configuration Notes

It is strongly recommended to test the network connection from the device to the server before finalizing TAT141 configuration. Follow these steps:

• Configure the necessary parameters: APN, server Domain, and server Port.
• Save the configuration to the device by clicking the "Save to device" button.
• Initiate the connection by pressing the "Test Connection" button.

The TAT141 will then create a high-priority record and attempt an immediate connection to the server.

If the connection fails, consider the following potential causes:

• Improperly inserted SIM card.
• Incorrect values entered for APN, Domain, or Port.
• GPRS functionality disabled by the GSM provider.
• No GSM coverage available.
• Server is unreachable.

Troubleshoot these issues before proceeding with further device configuration.

Tracking Scenarios & Scheduling

The TAT141 supports various tracking scenarios:

• On Stop periodic tracking: Enables or disables periodic data sending when the device is stationary. It sends a normal record with event ID 0 and movement AVL ID 240 with a value of 0.
• On Stop event record: Enables or disables record sending when the device transitions from "On Move" to "On Stop". This event requires the "On Stop detection time" to be reached. Upon triggering, the GNSS module wakes up, obtains a fix, and records an event (AVL ID 240, value 4: "Movement event - On Stop").
• On Move periodic tracking: Enables or disables periodic data sending when the device is in motion. It sends a normal record with event ID 0 and movement AVL ID 240 with a value of 1.
• On Move event record: Enables or disables record sending when the device transitions from "On Stop" to "On Move". This event requires the "On Move detection time" to be reached. Upon triggering, the device wakes up and records one of two types:
  • If the last record lacked a GNSS fix, the GNSS module activates to obtain a fix.
  • If the last record had a valid GNSS fix, the GNSS module remains inactive, and the record uses the last known good coordinates.

Detection Timers:

• On Stop detection time (s): Configurable time until the device switches to "On Stop" periodic tracking. The device must remain stationary for this duration. Movement interrupts this timer.
• On Move detection time (s): Configurable time until the device switches to "On Move" periodic tracking. Instant movement does not trigger this scenario; the device needs to be interrupted at least once every 5 seconds during the configured time to switch to "On Move".

Main Rules of Setting Schedule

When configuring a tracking schedule:

• Intervals between different scheduled times must be at least 6 minutes.
• Days of the week must be selected, and the device will send records according to the highlighted schedule.

Detailed information on device configuration using Teltonika Configurator is available on the Teltonika wiki knowledge base: wiki.teltonika-gps.com.

Diagram Description: A table shows "Tracking Scenarios" with options like "On Stop periodic tracking", "On Stop event record", "On Move periodic tracking", and "On Move event record", detailing their functions. Another table outlines "MAIN RULES OF SETTING SCHEDULE" with columns for Day of the Week and Records per day, showing example times.

Mounting Recommendations

For optimal GNSS reception, mount the TAT141 so that its GNSS antenna is pointed towards the sky. Ensure the device is not obstructed by objects that could interfere with the GNSS signal.
