Configuration

Downloaded Configurator will be in compressed archive. Extract it and launch Configurator.exe. After launch software language can be changed by clicking in the right bottom corner.

After connection to Configurator Status window will be displayed.

Various Status window1 tabs display information about GNSS2,GSM3, I/O4, Maintenance5 and etc. TAT141 has one user editable profile, which can be loaded and saved to the device. After any modification of configuration the changes need to be saved to device using Save to device button. Main buttons offer following functionality:

Load from device – loads configuration from device.
Save to device – saves configuration to device.
Load from file – loads configuration from file.
Save to file – saves configuration to file.
Update firmware – updates firmware on device.
Read records – reads records from the device.
Reboot device – restarts device.
Reset configuration – sets device configuration to default.

Most important configurator section is GPRS – where all your server and GPRS settings6 can be configured and Data Acquisition7 – where data acquiring parameters can be configured. More details about TAT141 configuration using Configurator can be found in our Wiki8.

QUICK SMS CONFIGURATION

Default configuration has optimal parameters present to ensure best performance of track quality and data usage. Quickly set up your device by sending this SMS command to it:

Note: Before SMS text, two space symbols should be inserted.

GPRS SETTINGS:

2001 – APN
2002 – APN username (if there are no APN username, empty field should be left)
2003 – APN password (if there are no APN password, empty field should be left)
SERVER SETTINGS:
2004 – Domain
2005 – Port
2006 – Data sending protocol (0 – TCP, 1 – UDP)

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION SETTINGS

IMPORTANT CONFIGURATION NOTES

We strongly recommend testing the network connection from device to the server before adjusting TAT141 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, TAT141 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.

On Stop periodic tracking – enable or disable periodic data sending when device is On Stop. Device will generate and send normal record with event ID 0 and movement AVL ID 240 with a value of 0.

On Stop event record – enable or disable record sending when device switches tracking scenario from On Move to On Stop. To trigger this event On Stop detection time timer needs to reach set value. Once event is triggered GNSS module will wake up and obtain GNSS fix. Record will have AVL event 240 with a value of 4 that means “Movement event – On Stop”.

On Move periodic tracking – enable or disable periodic data sending when device is On Move. Device will generate and send normal record with event ID 0 and movement AVL ID 240 with a value of 1.

On Move event record – enable or disable record sending when device switches tracking scenario from On Stop to On Move. To trigger this event On Move detection time timer needs to reach set value. Once event is triggered device will wake up and will trigger one of two records:

if last record did not have a GNSS fix, GNSS module will be turned on and fix obtained.
if last record had a valid GNSS fix, GNSS module will not be turned on and record will contain last good coordinates.

On Stop detection time (s) configurable amount of time until device switches to On Stop periodic tracking. Device needs to be stationary for configured amount of time to change state. Movement interrupts will reset this timer.

On Move detection time (s) configurable amount of time until device switches to On Move periodic tracking. Instant movement will not change tracking scenario to On Move. Device needs to be interrupted at least once every 5 seconds during the configured time to change tracking scenario 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 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- gps.com

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

We recommend mounting the TAT141 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.
