Turn on Bluetooth on your PC, then select Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth. Choose your device named “FMB900_last_7_imei_digits”, without LE in the end. Enter default password 5555, press Connect and then select Done.
3. You are now ready to use the device on your computer.
How to install USB drivers (Windows)
1. Please download COM port drivers from here. 2. Extract and run TeltonikaCOMDriver.exe. 3. Click Next in driver installation window. 4. In the following window click Install button.

Setup will continue installing the driver and eventually the confirmation window will appear. Click Finish to complete the setup.

Configuration (Windows)

At first FMB900 device will have default factory settings set. These settings should be changed according to the user’s needs. Main configuration can be performed via Teltonika Configurator software. Get the latest Configurator version from here. Configurator operates on Microsoft Windows OS and uses prerequisite MS .NET Framework. Make sure you have the correct version installed.

Configuration process begins by pressing on connected device (Figure 9 Device connected via USB).
Figure 9 Device connected via USB
After connection to Configurator Status window will be displayed (Figure 10 Configurator Status window).

Various Status window tabs display information about GNSS, GSM, I/O, Maintenance and etc. FMB900 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 settings can be configured and Data Acquisition where data acquiring parameters can be configured. More details about FMB900 configuration using Configurator can be found in our Wiki.

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

Movement and ignition detection:

Vehicle movement will be detected by accelerometer

Ignition will be detected by vehicle power voltage between 13,2 30 V

Device makes a record On Moving if one of these events happen:

300 seconds passes

Vehicle turns 10 degrees

Vehicle drives 100 meters

Speed difference between last coordinate and current position is greater than 10 km/h

Device makes a record On Stop if:

1 hour passes while vehicle is stationary and ignition is off

Records sending to server:

If device has made a record it is sent to the server every 120 seconds

After successful SMS configuration, FMB900 device will

synchronize time and update records to configured server.

Time intervals and default I/O elements can be changed by using

Teltonika Configurator or SMS parameters.

Mounting recommendations
· Connecting Wires Wires should be fastened to the other wires or non-moving parts. Try to avoid heat emitting and moving objects near the wires. The connections should not be seen very clearly. If factory isolation was removed while connecting wires, it should be applied again. If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc., additional isolation should be applied. Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control units.
· Connecting power source Be sure that after the car computer falls asleep, power is still available on chosen wire. Depending on car, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period. When module is connected, measure voltage again to make sure it did not decrease. It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box. Use 3A, 125V external fuse.

· Connecting ignition wire
Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire i. e. power does not disappear after starting the engine.
Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most of the vehicle electronics are available).
Check if power is still available when you turn off any of vehicles devices.
Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As alternative, any other relay, which has power output when ignition is on, may be chosen.
· Connecting ground wire
Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.
If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the wire.
For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is going to be connected.
PAY ATTENTION! Connecting the power supply must be carried out in a very low impedance point of on-board vehicle network. Connecting the GND at an arbitrary point to the mass of the car is unacceptable, as static and dynamic potentials on the line GND will be unpredictable, which can lead to unstable FMB900 operation and even its failure.
