configuration was made.
4. Target device –displays the FM device model for which this configuration was created or from
which device it was downloaded.
5. CFG Tag –a field for additional information that the user can save with the configuration file.
The maximum length is 32 symbols, only ASCII characters are allowed.
6. Last edited –displays the date and time when the configuration was last edited. If the edit was
made from a computer, the time will be the same as the computer’s local time. If the
configuration was received from the device, and the device currently has no time from any
source, the date and time will be shown as the beginning of this century (2000/01/01 00:00:00).
7. If any changes were made to the currently loaded configuration, a small “*” symbol will appear
next to the name of the configuration.
Additional configuration steps
Sample parameters will be loaded. However you will need to enter other parameters on your own.
1. Enter the IP address (in a 255.255.255.255 format) or the domain name (not exceeding 40
characters) and the port to which the device should send data.
2. Enter the APN settings: APN name , User and Psw (password) (if login and password are
required). If you choose to enable the Lock FM device to the SIM card checkbox you will be
required to enter the SIM card’s PIN code every time you try to connect to the device via USB
cable. As long as it is checked, you will not be able to use different SIM cards with this device.
3. Select the COM port you connected the device to and click Connect. At this point the
configuration is ready to be sent to the device, so the device must be connected to a computer.

Now the device is configured to send data to the specific server. Sample IO parameters are enabled
(loaded from the configuration file). You can log in to your tracking platform to see whether the device
is sending data.
5.3 Advanced configuration
The configurator can be used to configure advanced
functionalities. An overview of the configuration is
described in sections.
The File menu allows you to control configuration
files. Choose New/Save/Open CFG to perform the
corresponding action.
New CFG wizard –helps the user to go through all
basic configuration steps.
The Tools menu contains:
A language selector. English or Russian are available;
A diagnostics tool.
Save/Open DIFF allows you to create a DIFF file. DIFF files are used to change only one or few specific
parameters without having to send the full configuration to the device. It is useful when updating over-
the-air.
Attention
The DIFF file will save all changes made to the configuration. For example, changing a number in the IP
field or marking a checkbox is considered a change. However, if a change was made and afterwards
reverted to a previous state (checkbox checked and unchecked afterwards), it will not be considered as
a change. The DIFF file will only record changes made to the initial configuration (a loaded preset
configuration is considered an initial configuration). Particular attention must be paid when creating a
DIFF file to avoid accidental changes to the configuration.

Generate SMS –used to generate SMS messages for device configuration via SMS. This functionality
is described in detail in the following document: Device configuration via SMS.
The control panel on the left hand side allows you to select and control the device.
Select the COM port that the device is connected to and click “Connect”. At this
point the FM4 configurator checks the compatibility between itself and firmware in
the device. Every firmware version is released together with a recommended FM4
configurator. More information about different firmwares and recommended
configurators for them can be found in firmware changelogs. After the compatibility
check, three outcomes are possible:
1. The firmware and configurator versions are compatible. Go ahead and
continue configuring the FM device.
2. The configurator is too old for the current firmware version. An error
message will appear. The Send CFG and Get CFG buttons will be disabled.
You will need to download a new version of the configurator, recommended
for the firmware version.
3. The firmware is too old for the current configurator version. An error
message will appear. The configurator will suggest to update the firmware automatically. To
update the firmware, click Yes. The firmware will be updated to the version supported by the
configurator. This can be done without an internet connection. Click No to close the message
without updating the firmware. If the firmware is not updated, the Send CFG and Get CFG
buttons will be disabled. We highly recommend using the latest firmware and configurator.
The Send CFG and Get CFG buttons are used to send and receive the configuration file to/from the
device.
Send FW is used to send new firmware to your device manually.
In the drop-down list below you can select the model of the device. If you connected one to your PC, it
will be displayed.
5.3.1 Global settings
The first part of the configuration tool is Global settings. Global settings include connection and other
settings independent from the profile settings –the global settings are the same for all profiles.

Connection settings –here you should enter the server IP address and port that the device should
connect to. The IP address can be entered in the following format: 255.255.255.255. You can also use
the domain name (not exceeding 40 characters). IP2 is a backup IP address, used when the device is
unable to connect to the first server.
Note
Please have in mind that the ports for TCP and UDP transfer protocols usually are different –please
select the correct transfer protocol and enter the correct port.
Two servers –this checkbox changes the logic described above. It enables a two servers mode
–the same data is repeatedly transmitted to another server with IP2, unless there is a timeout.
IP1 is the dedicated server IP, from which we get the ACKs for our sent record packets. After we
get an ACK from this IP, the record data is considered to be successfully transmitted to the
server and is removed from the memory.
In this mode the data is sent to IP2 only when connection to IP1 is established. The packets
sent to the IP1 server are also sent to the IP2 server.
Only records are going to be sent to the IP2 server. Data packets such as Transparent Channel,
Tachograph, SD card and Garmin will not be sent to the IP2 server.
When unable to establish connection to the IP1 server, the device does not connect to the IP2
server as well. If the device is connected to the IP1 server and transmitting data, but the IP2
server is unreachable, the data is removed from the memory after receiving ACK from the IP1
server. This can cause information loss in the IP2 server.
Note
The two servers mode doubles the amount of data that is being sent. Before using this functionality,
consider the extra costs that would arise from higher data traffic.
The Protocol section allows you to choose from two protocols. The UDP protocol is less reliable than
TCP, but also uses less traffic. TCP uses more internet traffic, but it is more reliable. Choose one
according to your needs.
Note
If the IP, port or APN fields are greyed out when the device is connected to the configurator, their
values cannot be changed.
APN settings are needed for internet connection. These settings must be
provided by your mobile network provider. Without APN settings the device will
not send any data.
If you choose to enable the Lock FM device to the SIM card
checkbox you will be required to enter the SIM card’s PIN code every
time you try to connect to the device via USB. As long as it is checked,
you will not be able to use a different SIM card with this device.
Note
If the SIM status checkbox at the bottom of the configurator window is not
enabled, the Enter PIN window will not appear when connecting to the FM
device. This means you will not be able to access your device.
If the wrong PIN is typed in more than three times, the SIM card will be
locked. It can be returned to its original unlocked state by entering the PUK,
provided by the service operator after verification. If the wrong PUK is entered ten times in a row, the
device will become permanently blocked and unrecoverable, requiring a new SIM card. Once you enter
the PUK code, you must set a new PIN.

The SIM status section at the bottom of the configuration window displays SIM card related
information. This feature is disabled by default. Tick the checkbox to enable it.
Seven different statuses are available:
1. Ready –the PIN code is accepted or PIN code check is disabled. The GSM/GPRS/UMTS modem
can operate normally.
2. Error –represents a wide range of possible problems. A common reason would be an old FW
version that does not support SIM commands.
3. Unknown –the communication between the device and the GSM/GPRS/UMTS modem failed,
the SIM status is unknown.
4. PIN Request –the SIM card requests a PIN code, the FM device cannot provide it (the code
provided by the device is incorrect).
5. PUK Request –the SIM card requests a PUK code.
6. Locked –a different SIM card is inserted to the FM device.
7. Not inserted –no SIM card is inserted.
Configuration password allows locking the configuration –without the password no one can change
the device configuration via USB. However, over-the-air updates ignore the configuration password.
Driver registration is used to authorize the ignition of the vehicle, identify the driver and account
working hours. The full functionality description can be found on our documentation website: Driver
registration.
Send data without GPS fix –device cold-start often causes issues, because it is not sending data,
therefore the user is unable to see parameter values until GPS fix is obtained. This functionality allows
data sending even when there is no GPS fix. This feature cannot be used with TrustTrack server! The
full functionality description can be found in “Send data without GPS fix” document on our
documentation website.
Also, when the device loses GPS fix, there is no way to determine its location. The GSM tracking feature
can be used to obtain an approximate location in densely urbanized areas, where the GNSS signal is not
available. This feature cannot be used with TrustTrack servers! The full functionality description can be
found in the “Send data without GPS fix” document on our documentation website.
GNSS allows selecting the positioning network –GPS, GLONASS or GPS+GLONASS. GPS+GLONASS is
selected by default ( it is recommended not to change this ).
Geofencing allows using internal geozones, configured directly into the device. The full functionality
description can be found on our documentation website: Internal geozones.
Towing detection –with towing detection the driver can be informed in case his vehicle is being
towed. Information about towing events is sent to the server, therefore the driver might still have time
