Teltonika TAT100 Device for Asset Tracking

Specifications

• Model: TAT100
• Device Connectivity: SMS/GPRS
• Firmware Files: Modem firmware, BlueNRG firmware

Product Usage Instructions

• Connecting to Fota Platform:
  TAT1XY devices connect to the platform on power ON or receiving the web_connect command. Ensure the device is not in sleep mode for command reception. Schedule GPRS command for automatic sending upon device wake-up.
• Firmware Update Tasks on FOTA Platform:
  For firmware updates, two tasks are needed – one for modem firmware and another for BlueNRG firmware. The device executes tasks sequentially: modem first, then BlueNRG. If the device doesn’t automatically reconnect after a modem update, restart or send a web_connect command. Verify the successful installation of both firmware files on the device.
• Configuration Update Tasks on Fota Platform:
  Wait for firmware update tasks to complete before updating the configuration. This ensures the correct task execution order.

IMPORTANT CONFIGURATION NOTES

We strongly recommend testing the network connection from device to the server before adjusting TAT100 configuration to your needs. Use the following steps to perform this test:

• Configure these parameters: APN, server Domain and server Port;
• Save configuration to the device by clicking on a Save to device button;
• Initiate connection by pressing the Test Connection button. At this point, TAT100 will create one high-priority record and initiate connection to the server immediately.

If connection was not initiated, it can mean any of the following:

• Improperly inserted SIM Card
• Incorrect values are set to these fields: APN, Domain or Port;
• GPRS functionality disabled by GSM provider;
• No GSM coverage;
• Server cannot be reached.

Try solving this problem before proceeding with further device configuration.

• Periodic: This mode is used to get positioning data at fixed intervals. Configuration range is from 360 to 259200 (in seconds).
• Scheduler: This mode is used to get positioning data at fixed schedule. Device can send positioning data up to 6 times on set days.

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 the device to send records according to the set schedule.

More details about device configuration using Teltonika Configurator can be found in the Teltonika wiki knowledge base wiki.teltonika-mobility.com

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend mounting the TAT100 in such a way that the GNSS antenna is pointed at the sky and the device itself is not covered by various obstructions that would interfere with the reception of the GNSS fix.
