TAT240 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.1.

Save to device – saves configuration to device.2.

Load from file – loads configuration from file.3.

Save to file – saves configuration to file.4.

Update firmware – updates firmware on device.5.

Reset configuration – sets device configuration to default.8.

Most important configurator sections are GPRS – where all your server and GPRS settings can be

configured and Tracking – where data acquiring parameters can be configured. More details about

TAT240 configuration using Configurator can be found here.

Important configuration notes

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

TAT240 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, TAT240 device will create one high-priority record and initiates 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.

Please note:

• Why TAT240 is not sending data: Instructions

• Common configuration issues: Instructions

CAUTION! Device usage with USB cable.

In order to prevent device battery from running out of power, make sure USB cable is not connected, while

testing the device.

Continuous use of device, while connected to the USB cable will result in faster battery drain.

Tracking scenarios

Periodic: This mode is used to get positioning data at fixed intervals. Configuration range is from

360 to 259200 (in seconds).

Please note:

• Default tracking period (On Move/On stop) is set to 28800 seconds (8 hours)

• Frequent tracking period will reduce battery lifetime!

• For more information refer to: Tracking settings

Scheduler: This mode is used to get positioning data at fixed schedule. Device can send positioning

data up to 6 times on set days.

Time Zone: Set tracking scenario time zone. Time zone can be set in range of -12h to +14h.

Main rules of Schedule setting:

Intervals between time must be at least 6 minutes.

Days of the week must be selected and highlighted for the device to send records according to

set schedule.

Please note:

Device has up to 3 min. hardcoded time to get fixed position while it's awake from a Sleep Mode.

If GNSS signal is poor - device will need more time to get fixed position. Battery usage is higher while device

is looking for GNSS positions than it stays in Sleep Mode.

Mounting recommendations

We recommend placing the device in such a way, that the GNSS antenna is facing upwards to

the sky.

We recommend to install the device in a place where the TAT240 line of sight to the sky is not

obstructed.

Quick SMS configuration

Please note:

• SMS message cannot be delivered until the device has woken up from Sleep Mode to deliver location data

to the server.

• During the period, when device is in Sleep Mode, SMS carrier holds SMS message delivery.

• We cannot control mobile provider's SMS deliveries or assure that your SMS message will be received

until next device wake up cycle, therefore we recommend to configure the device using the configurator.

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"

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)

Note: Before SMS command, two space symbols must be inserted.

After successful SMS configuration, TAT240 device will synchronize time and update records to

configured server.
