1.4 Installing FM1100 drivers

Software requirements

• Operating system 32-bit and 64-bit: Windows XP with SP3 or later, Windows Vista, Windows 7.
• MS .NET Framework V3.5 or later (http://www.microsoft.com or
http://avl1.teltonika.lt/downloads/tavl/Framework/dotnetfx35setupSP1.zip).

Drivers
Please download Virtual COM Port drivers from Teltonika website:
http://avl1.teltonika.lt/downloads/FM11/vcpdriver_v1.3.1_setup.zip

Installing drivers

Extract and run VCPDriver_V1.3.1_Setup.exe. This driver is used to detect FM1100 device
connected to the computer. Click 'Next' in driver installation window (figures below):

This will launch device driver installation wizard. In the following window click ‘Next’ button
again:

Setup will continue installing drivers and will display a window about successful process in the end.
Click 'Finish' to complete setup:

Figure 5. Driver installation window

You have now installed drivers for FM1100 device successfully.

Power source connection

Note, that FM1100 cannot be powered via USB cable, so the external 10...30 V DC
(1,2 W Max) power supply must be used to power up the device.

1.5 Placement of GPS antenna

 GPS antenna must be placed so its state is as horizontal as possible (if antenna is leaning more
than 30 degrees, it is considered incorrect mounting).
 GPS antenna cable cannot be bent more than 80 degrees.
 GPS antenna must be placed sticker facing down

Picture 6. GPS antenna correct mounting

It is recommended to place GPS antenna as close to the window as possible.

1.6 Loading the Configuration into the FM1100 Device

FM1100 Configurator must be used to configure the FM1100 device. The only data client is
required to enter to configuration is APN data, domain and target server port.

1.6.1 APN configuration

In order to FM1100 device to be able to connect to local GPRS network (and send AVL data)
the following APN data (provided by local GSM services provider) must be entered into FM1100
configuration (1 selection):
 Access Point Name (APN) with authentication type CHAP or PAP (if required);
 APN login;
 APN password;

If you are not sure what APN settings should be, ask your GSM operator.

1.6.2 Domain and Port configuration

In field which is market as number 2 you have to enter your server IP address, where to send
FM AVL data.
In field which is marked as number 3 you have to enter Port number. In recommended
configuration mode transfer protocol - TCP. But also you can set UDP transfer protocol in advanced
configuration.

1.6.3 Saving the Configuration into the FM1100 Device

Follow these steps:

1. Press connect in configurators navigation bar ( make sure that your FM1100 is connected to PC
and power source).

2. When device is to connected to configurator you can save your configuration by clicking Save.

1.6.4 Recommended Configuration

Recommended configuration is based on fast periodic AVL data acquisition mainly according
to the change of the object’s geographic angle (Min.Angle = 10 degrees). According to this
configuration the FM1100 device will generate AVL record every time the object’s angle is changed
more than 10 degrees. Such AVL data acquisition is rational in cases the object mostly moves in the
city. Min.Distance = 100 meters, so the additional AVL record will be generated after driving more
than 100 meters in the straight line. If the object with FM1100 device is not moving, the AVL data
records are generated periodically every 1 hour (Vehicle on STOP Min.period = 3600 s). If the object
with FM1100 device is moving, the AVL data records are generated periodically every 300 seconds.
AVL data is sent via GPRS to the server as soon as the AVL data record is generated (Min.
saved records = 1; Send period = 1 s). According to this configuration one AVL data record,
containing information about the GPS position and Input/Output (I/O) parameters is sent to the
server at least every 300 seconds.
Following I/O elements’ vales are monitored in every AVL data record:
 DIN1 (as ignition) {values: 0 – Off; 1 – On};
 Movement {values: 0 – object is not moving; 1 – object is moving};
 Power voltage {values: from 10 V to 30 V, according to the power source).
 Speed {values: current vehicle speed in km/h}
Additional AVL data records called “events” are generated on following parameter value
changes:
 If power voltage value falls to less than 11 V;
 Speed is less than 5 km/h for more than 1 minute;
 Ignition is turned ON/OFF (DIN1=1 or DIN1=0).

1.6.5 What is the purpose of testing FM1100 in this scenario?

The main purpose of this testing scenario is for the user to see the highly detailed track (as in
the sample screenshot below) of his driven track in the city. The user will be able to see his vehicles
current position as well as the position in any selected time in the past. The user will be able to see the
time and points in the map in which the ignition has been turned ON/OFF, power voltage has become
less than 11 V (car battery needs to be recharged). The user will be able to compare “Vehicle on
STOP” and “Vehicle MOVING” modes.

 Picture 10. Track of the FM1100 working in "Recommended Configuration"

The track showed in the screenshot above contains the information of 3 days driving of real vehicle in
the city of Vilnius, Lithuania. Using the service of local GSM service provider “Bite GSM” 1 MB of
data has been transmitted through the GPRS to generate such track.

NOTE, that GPRS traffic differs from the GPRS coverage at the area and the GSM
service provider’s data averaging policy, so the GPRS traffic can be higher than the
described in the example above.
