4 OPERATIONAL BASICS

4.1 Operational principals

FM2100 module is designed to acquire records and send them to server. Records
contain GPS and I/O information. Module uses GPS receiver to acquire GPS data and is
powered with 3 data acquire methods: time-based, distance-based, angle-based methods.
Method’s details are described in GPS section. All data is stored in flash memory and later
can be sent via GPRS or SMS channels. GPRS mode is most preferred data sending mode.
SMS mode is mostly used in areas without GPRS coverage or GPRS usage is too expensive.
GPRS and SMS settings are described in GPRS section. FM2100 communicates with
server using special data protocol. Data protocol is described in “FM4 Protocols” document.
FM2100 can be managed by SMS commands. SMS Command list is described in SMS
COMMAND LIST section. Module configuration can be performed over TCP or via SMS.
Configuration parameters and modes are described in “FM4 Protocols” document.

4.2 Sleep mode

FM2 can enter sleep mode (standby mode) under two conditions:
• FM2 does not detect movement.
• FM2 does not send or receive any data for 5 minutes. This means that if coordinate
recording interval is more frequent than 5 minutes, FM2 will never go to sleep mode.
FM2 can exit sleep mode under three conditions:
• FM2 detects movement.
• Event or request forces FM2 to make a record
While in sleep mode, FM2 sets GPS receiver to sleep mode, therefore it does not
record or send any data. The power usage also decreases allowing to save vehicle battery.

4.3 Virtual odometer

Virtual odometer is used to calculate traveled distance in FM2 as a separate I/O


element. When FM2 detects movement, it starts counting distance using GPS signal: every
second it checks current location and calculates distance between current and previous point.
It keeps adding these intervals until it is time to make a record, then FM2 records its location
and adds odometer value, which is equal to the sum of all distances, measured every second.
When record is made, odometer resets to zero and distance calculation starts all over again.
Note, that FM2 does not measure distance between coordinates, that it records using time,
distance or angle change intervals. Instead it uses virtual points which are established every
second, and calculates distance between them.

5 CONFIGURATION

5.1 Configurator

New FM2100 module has default factory settings. Settings should be changed
according to your application and your GSM operator information.
FM2100 Configuration is performed via FM2100 Configurator program. Latest
FM2100 Configurator versions can be downloaded from
http://avl1.teltonika.lt/downloads/FM2. FM2100 configurator operates on Microsoft
Windows OS and uses MS .Net Framework 2.0 or higher. Please ensure that MS .Net
Framework 2.0 or later is installed on your PC before starting configurator. Latest MS .Net
Framework version can be downloaded from official Microsoft web page.
Module configuration is performed over cable labeled PORT. Configuration process
starts from loading FM2100 Configurator program and selecting COM port. Select COM
port and click 'Connect' button.
FM2100 has 1 user editable profile stored in Flash no. 1 memory and one extra profile
stored in Flash no. 0 which can not be edited by user. Profile from Flash no. 0 is used by
system and can not be selected as active, while profile from Flash no. 1 is fully editable and
can be selected as active.
After changing profile parameters, changes can be saved to FM2100 Flash. Figure
below shows saving to flash memory procedure.

'Load from file' – allows user to load configuration saved in .XML extension file.
'Save to file' – allows user to save currently entered settings to a file.
'Load default profile' – loads default FM2 settings that later can be modified. This
procedure must be performed before entering new parameters.
'Get IMEI' – reads FM2 IMEI number. This number is unique for every FM2 and
usually servers recognize different devices by this number.
'Reset device' – reboots FM2 and displays processor firmware version.

15
5.2 System settings

System settings menu has only one parameter – Sleep mode. It can be enabled or
disabled by turning it on or off. See sleep mode description for more details.

5.3 GPS settings

GPS settings define GPS data acquiring methods and frequencies.

Device is checking if the time between last saved record and current time is equal or
higher than Time based acquire interval. If so, FM saves record to memory. If not, FM
checks if the distance from last record to current record is equal or higher than Distance
based acquire interval. If so, saves the record to memory. If not and speed is higher than
10km/h, then FM is checking if angle difference between last record and current record is
equal or higher than Angle based acquire value. If so, saves the record to memory. This
check is being performed every second.
FM2100 is able to collect records using three methods at the same time: time, distance
and angle based data acquisition:
• Time based data acquiring (Min.
period) – records are being acquired
every time when defined interval of
time passes. Entering zero means that
data will be recorded as fast as
possible (every second).

16
• Distance based data acquiring (Min.
distance) - records are being acquired
when the distance between previous
coordinate and current position is
greater than defined parameter value.
Entering zero means that data will be
recorded every 0 meters (as fast as
possible – every 1 second).

• Angle based data acquiring (Min.


angle) - records are being acquired
when angle difference between last
recorded coordinate and current
position is greater than defined
value. Entering zero disables data
acquisition depending on angle.

5.4 Geofence settings

FM2100 has 5 configurable Geofence zones and it can generate event when defined
Geofence zone border is crossed.
• Frame border – frame border is an additional border around Geofence zone. It is
additional area around defined zone used to prevent false event recording when
object stops on the border of the area and because of GPS errors some records are
made inside area and some – outside. Event is generated only when both borders are
crossed. See figure for details: track 1 is considered to enter the area while track 2
does not.
• Shape – can be rectangular or circle
• Priority – priority of Geofence event – low, high or panic. These levels define
priority of event information sending to server. See I/O element description for
more details about priorities.
• Enter event – enable or disable zone entering event
• Exit event – enable or disable zone leaving event
• X1 – geofence zone left bottom corner X coordinate
• Y1 – geofence zone left bottom corner Y coordinate
• X2 or R – geofence zone upper right corner X coordinate (radius of circle when
Circular zone used)
• Y2 – geofence zone upper right corner Y coordinate

17
5.5 GSM settings

'GSM Settings' allows to set protocol used for data transfers – TCP or UDP. 'Min
Saved Records' defines minimum number of coordinates that should be transferred with one
connection to server. If FM2 does not have enough coordinates to send to server, it will
check again after time interval defined in 'Sending Period' (see below).

18
5.6 GPRS settings

'GPRS Settings' define two main parameters for FM2: GSM operator APN and
GPRS username and password (optional – depending on operator), and destination server
IP and port.
Some operators use specific authentification for GPRS session – CHAP or PAP. If
any of these is used, APN should be entered as '<APN>:c' or '<APN>:p'.
I.e. if operator is using APN 'internet' with CHAP authentification, it should be
entered as 'internet:c'.
Information about APN and authentification type should be provided by your GSM
operator.

19
5.7 SMS settings

• SMS data send – enable or disable periodic data and event SMS use. Note, that this
does not affect replies to messages – they are always sent to sender number.
• SMS send timeout – SMS send timeout (recommended 60 sec.)
• SMS Login – module login for SMS
• SMS Password – module password for SMS
• Server phone number – authorized server phone number for SMS requests,
configuration, 24-coordinates and event binary SMS
• Authorized phone numbers – other authorized numbers that are allowed to control
FM2 remotely

Module login and password, server and authorised number list is used to
protect FM2 module from unauthorised access. Module accepts messages
only from a list of authorised numbers and with proper module login and
password. Numbers must be without “+” or “00” prefix. If no authorised
numbers are entered, module accepts messages from all numbers. Server
phone number automatically counts as authorised number.

5.8 Send Parameter settings

Send parameters window allow to set GPRS and SMS data send periods, sending
schedules, set allowed operator list.
• Send period – GPRS data sending to server period. Module makes attempts to send
collected data to server every defined period. If it does not have enough records
(depend on parameter Min. Saved Records described above), it tries again after
defined time interval
• Time step - FM2 is improved with 24-coordinates-in-one-SMS sending mechanism.
24-coordinates-in-one-SMS mechanism is used in areas where no GPRS coverage is
available. Module collects data and sends to server binary SMS containing
information about last 24 collected points with interval between them defined in

20
time step field. SMS sending schedule is set in SMS Week Time tab. 24-Coordinates
SMS decoding is described in “FM Protocols” document.
• GPRS Context Week Time tab – most GSM billing systems charge number of bytes
(kilobytes) transmitted per session. During the session FM2 makes connection and
transmits data to a server. FM2 tries to handle session as much as possible. Session
can last hours, days, weeks or session can be closed after every connection in certain
GSM networks – this depends on GSM network provider. GPRS Context Week
Time defines session re-establish schedule if session was closed by network. New
GPRS context is opened if time is 10 minutes till time checked in table. Therefore if
all boxes are checked, FM2 is able to open new connection anytime. At scheduled
time match FM2 checks for GPRS session activity. If GPRS session is alive, FM2
sends data to server according to Send period parameter. If it is not, FM2 checks if it
is able to re-establish the session.
• SMS Week Time tab – week time allows to set SMS data sending schedule. SMS
mode mostly used in areas where GPRS is not available.

Note FM2100 operates GMT time without daylight saving.

• Operators list - FM2 is able to use GPRS with all operators, but if at least one
operator is entered in the list, FM2 is allowed to connect to GPRS only while
operating in listed operator network.

5.9 I/O settings

When no I/O element is enabled, AVL packet comes with GPS information only.
After enabling I/O element(s) AVL packet in couple with GPS information contains current
value(s) of enabled I/O element.

There are two types of operations with I/O elements: simple monitoring
and event generating. Monitoring method is used when current I/O
information needed with regular GPS coordinates. Event generating
method is used when additional AVL packet is needed when current value
of I/O exceeds predefined High and Low levels. I/O settings allow to
define I/O event criteria.

• Enabled or disabled field – allows to enable I/O element so it is added to the data
packet and is sent to the server. By default all I/O element are disabled and FM2
records only coordinates.
• Priority – AVL packet priority – low, high or panic. Regular packets are sent as Low
priority records. When low priority event is triggered, FM2 makes additional record
with indication that the reason for that was IO element change. When High priority
is selected, module makes additional record with high priority flag and sends event
packet immediately to the server by GPRS. Panic priority triggers same actions as
high priority, but if GPRS fails, it sends AVL packet using SMS mode if SMS is
enabled in SMS settings.
• High and Low levels – define I/O value range. If I/O value enters or exits this
range, FM2 generates event. “Generate event” parameter defines when to generate
event – when value enters defined range, exits it or both.
• Averaging constant – it is an I/O event delay parameter. In some applications there
is no need to generate events on every I/O range enter/exit immediately. Sometimes
it is necessary to wait some time interval before event generating. Averaging constant
allows to set I/O event delay (averaging). If I/O value is entering or leaving

22
predefined range, it must have same value for Averaging constant time. 1 Averaging
constant value equals 20 milliseconds.

5.9.1 Monitoring

I/O monitoring starts after enabling I/O element and setting up I/O parameters in
the following order:
Priority always low
High level -1000
Low level -1000
Generate event on range enter
Average constant 1

High and Low level’s values are always -1000 because these thresholds will never be
reached by any of I/O and never generate any additional AVL packet.
Another solution for IO element monitoring is to choose 'Monitoring' option in
'Generate Event' field – this way events will never be generated o matter what values are
entered in fields.

5.9.2 Event Generating

Events happen when the value of enabled I/O intersects thresholds (enter, exit or on
both) predefined by High and Low level thresholds. Table below defines all available values
of I/O settings.

Priority low, high


High level maximum threshold
Low level minimum threshold
Generate event on interval enter, on interval exit, on both
enter and exit
Average constant 1 – 232 (4 Bytes)

8.2.8 GPRS Data send week time schedule (ID=272)


This parameter manages when it is allowed to open GPRS context. When module starts it
is prohibited to open the context. When modem’s GPRS context is being closed (for
example changing network) it is allowed to open it only at defined time. It is possible to
allow connections every 10 minutes up to once per day.
Example value: 7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Format is described in chapter 0

31
8.2.9 SMS Data send week time schedule (ID=273)
Parameter defines SMS data sending according to week time schedule. This parameter is
used to set data sending on selected week days and hours. Minimum time step is 10 minutes.
Example value: 7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Format is described in chapter 0
Schedule parameter format
Time is defined as 19 byte array. First byte of array defines week days, the rest 18 bytes
define timestamps with 10 minute interval. In first byte, first bit (LSB) defines if module
should connect to GPRS (send SMS) on Monday, second bit – on Tuesday and so on up to
seventh bit – which means Sunday. Eighth bit (MSB) is not used. If bits value is 0 then
device is not allowed to open GPRS context, but if it is already open – does not close it. If
value is 1 it will work as day minutes are defined in rest of the bytes.
Day’s minutes are defined by 18 bytes (144 bits). Every n’th bit (beginning from the first
bit (LSB) and ending 18 bytes 8’th bit (MSB)) indicates every 10’th minute of the day (day
has 1440 minutes).
Sample:
GPRS will be allowed on Monday to Friday at 8:00 and 16:00 GMT the following value
should be configured:
00011111 00000000 00000000 00000000 000000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 000000001 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

Red bits indicate that GPRS will be allowed everyday except Saturdays and Sundays. Blue
bits indicate 480 and 720 minutes (480min = 8h and 720min = 16h). So the parameter value
should be:
1F 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00
It should be sent as UTF8 encoded string.

9 MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
9.1 Connecting Wires

• Wires should be connected while module is not plugged in.


• 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.

9.2 Connecting Power Source

• Be sure that after the car computer falls asleep, power is still available on chosen
wire. Depending on a car, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
• When module is connected, be sure to measure voltage again if it did not decrease.
• It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.

9.3 Connecting Ignition Wire

• Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire – power does not disappear while starting
the engine.
• Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most electronics
of the vehicle 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.

9.4 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 place where loop is connected.

9.5 Connecting Antennas

• When placing antennas avoid easily reached places.


• Avoid GPS antenna placement under metal surfaces.
• Avoid placing FM2100 device near car radio, speakers or alarm systems.
• GPS antenna must be placed so its state is as horizontal as possible (if antenna is
leant 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

CORRECT NOT CORRECT

It is recommended to place GPS antenna behind dashboard as close to the window as


possible. A good example of GPS antenna placement is displayed in a picture below (area
colored green).

9.6 Module Installation

• Module should not be seen or easily reached.


• Module should be firmly fixed to the surface or cables.
• Module cannot be fixed to heat emitting or moving parts.
• SIM card should be inserted in the module while the connector is plugged off (while
module has no power).
