The TAT140 allows for one user-editable profile that can be loaded and saved to the device. Any configuration changes must be saved to the device using the 'Save to device' button.

Main Configurator Buttons:

• 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 records from the device.
• Reboot device: Restarts the device.
• Reset configuration: Resets the device configuration to default settings.

Key Configuration Sections:

The most important sections are 'GPRS' for server and GPRS settings, and 'Data Acquisition' for data acquiring parameters. More details on TAT140 configuration can be found in the Teltonika Wiki.

Quick SMS Configuration

Default configuration provides optimal parameters for track quality and data usage. Set up your device quickly by sending the following SMS command:

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

Note: Two space symbols should precede the SMS text.

Parameter Breakdown:

GPRS SETTINGS:

• 2001 – APN: Access Point Name.
• 2002 – APN username: Enter if applicable; leave blank if not.
• 2003 – APN password: Enter if applicable; leave blank if not.

SERVER SETTINGS:

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

Default Configuration Settings

Movement and Ignition Detection:

Vehicle movement will be detected by the accelerometer.

Device Makes a Record on Stop If:

28800 seconds pass.

Device Makes a Record on Moving If One of These Events Happen:

28800 seconds pass.

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

Important Configuration Notes

It is strongly recommended to test the network connection from the device to the server before adjusting TAT140 configuration. Follow these steps:

• Configure APN, server Domain, and server Port.
• Save the configuration to the device using the 'Save to device' button.
• Initiate the connection by pressing the 'Test Connection' button.

If the connection is not initiated, potential causes include:

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

Address these issues before proceeding with further configuration.

Tracking Scenarios

On Stop Periodic Tracking:

Enables or disables periodic data sending when the device is On Stop. The device generates a normal record with Event ID 0 and Movement AVL ID 240 (value 0).

On Stop Event Record:

Enables or disables record sending when the device switches from On Move to On Stop. The 'On Stop detection time' timer must reach its set value. Upon triggering, the GNSS module wakes up and obtains a fix. The record will have AVL Event 240 with value 4 ("Movement event - On Stop").

On Move Periodic Tracking:

Enables or disables periodic data sending when the device is On Move. The device generates a normal record with Event ID 0 and Movement AVL ID 240 (value 1).

On Move Event Record:

Enables or disables record sending when the device switches from On Stop to On Move. The 'On Move detection time' timer must reach its set value. Upon triggering, the device wakes up and records data:

• If the last record lacked a GNSS fix, the GNSS module is activated to obtain a fix.
• If the last record had a valid GNSS fix, the GNSS module remains off, and the record uses the last known good coordinates.

On Stop Detection Time:

Configurable time (in seconds) until the device switches to On Stop periodic tracking. The device needs to remain stationary for a configured duration to change state. Movement interrupts will reset this timer.

On Move Detection Time:

Configurable time (in seconds) until the device switches to On Move periodic tracking. Instant movement does not change the tracking scenario. The device must be interrupted at least once every 5 seconds within the configured time to switch to On Move.

Main Rules of Setting Schedule:

• Intervals between different times must be at least 6 minutes.
• Days of the week must be selected and highlighted for record sending according to the schedule.
