Virtual COM port driver installation is mandatory, only then your PC will recognize the FM- FM-Pro4 device
that was connected to the USB port. You can download newest drivers from our FTP server (VCOM
drivers).
Choose correct archive file with drivers for your OS version and download it to your PC.
Figure 4. Driver installation files
Installation procedure:
Uninstall previous Virtual COM port driver versions (Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Add or
remove programs).
Extract archive file “Win7.zip” or “Win8.zip” to a desired location on your PC.
If you are running a 32-bits OS version, launch the “dpinst_x86.exe” [1.]
If you are running a 64-bits OS version, launch the “dpinst_amd64.exe” [2.]
Windows 7 Users might get a Security Warning message. Click “Yes” [3.].

In the next window select “Next” [4.].
Wait for the setup to complete the installation and click “Finish” [5.].
Driver is now installed and ready to use.

Please log in to our FTP server and download sample configuration and newest configurator . Also you
need newest Microsoft Framework.
Operating system requirements:
•MS Windows XP/Vista/7/8
Start VCP.exe from configurator folder.
1. Select Pro4
2. Click File → Open CFG
3. In dialog window, browse sample configuration file you downloaded from FTP.
4. Click Open
Figure 4. Configuration steps
Sample parameters will be loaded. However you need to enter some parameters on your own.
1. Enter IP (in the 256.256.256.256 format) or Domain name (not exceeding 40 characters) and PORT
to which device should send data.

2. Enter APN settings: APN name, User login and Password (if login and password needed). If you
choose to enable Lock FM device to the SIM card check-box you will be required to enter 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 COM port you connected device to and click Connect. At this point configuration is ready
to send to device so device must be connected to computer.
4. Click Send CFG button. Configuration will be uploaded to device.
Figure 5. Required connection settings
Now device is configured to send data to specific server. Sample IO parameters are enabled (loaded with
configuration file). You can log in to your tracking platform to see if device is sending data.
APN name, login and password should be provided by your mobile network operator

Configuration tool is quite similar to 3rd generation devices. Overview of configuration is described in
sections.
File menu gives you access to control configuration files. Choose New/Save/Open CFG to perform
corresponding action. CFG means full configuration file.
Tools menu contain language selection: English or Russian.
Save/Open DIFF allow you to create DIFF file. DIFF files are used to change only one or few certain
parameters without need to upload full configuration to device. It is useful when updating over-the-air.
Control panel on left side allow you to choose and control device.
Select COM port that device is connected and hit Connect.
Send CFG and Get CFG buttons are used to send and receive configuration file to
hardware.
Send FW is used to send new firmware to your device.
In drop box you can select device type. If you connected one to your PC, it will be
displayed.
DIFF file will save EVERY field in configuration that you touch with mouse. For example, you only
click on IP field but do not change anything –when you save DIFF file, IP will be included in DIFF
even if it was not changed. That is why particular attention must be taken when using DIFF files. It is
very easy to change/remove parameters that you do not want to change.

First part of configuration tool is global settings.
Global include connection settings and other settings independent from profile settings –global settings
are same for all profiles.
UDP protocol is less reliable than TCP but also uses less traffic. TCP however use more internet traffic but
is more reliable. Choose one according to your needs.
APN settings are needed for internet connection. These settings must be provided by your mobile
network provider. Without APN settings device will not send any data.
If you choose to enable Lock FM device to the SIM card check-box you
will be required to enter 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 a different SIM cards with this device.
If the wrong PIN is typed in more than three times, either the SIM card
become locked.
It can be returned to its original unlocked state by entering a 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.
SIM status section at the bottom of the configuration tool displays SIM card related information.

Total of seven different statuses are available:
1. Ready –PIN code is known or PIN code check is disabled. GSM/GPRS modem can operate
normally.
2. Error –Represents a wide range of possible problems. Common reason would be old FW
version, which does not support SIM commands.
3. Unknown –Communication between device and GSM/GPRS modem failed, SIM status is
unknown.
4. PIN Request –SIM card requests a PIN code, FM device cannot provide it (code provided by
the device is incorrect).
5. PUK Request - SIM card requests a PUK code.
6. Locked –This FM device is attached to a different SIM card.
7. Not inserted –SIM card is not inserted.
Configuration password allow to lock configuration –without password no one can change device
configuration via cable. However, over-the-air update ignores configuration password.
GNSS allow to select positioning network –GPS or GLONASS. GPS by default (suggestion not to change
this).
In Connection settings you should enter server IP and port that the device should connect to. The IP can
be entered in the numeric format: 255.255.255.255. You can also use a Domain name (not exceeding 40
characters). IP 2 is a backup IP address, which is used when the device is unable to connect to the first
server.
Two servers –checkbox changes the logic described above. It enables a two servers mode –the
same data is repeatedly transmitted to another server with IP2, unless we get a timeout. IP1 is
dedicated IP for server, from which we get the ACK’s for our record packets sent. After we get the
ACK from this IP, record data is considered as successfully transmitted to the server and it is
removed from the memory.
In this mode data is sent to IP2 only when connection to the IP1 is established. Packet, which is
sent to the IP1 server is also sent to the IP2 server.
Only records are going to be send to the IP2. Data packets such as Transparent Channel,
Tachograph, SD card, Garmin will not be send to the IP2.
Unable to send data:
When unable to establish connection to IP1, device does not connect to the IP2 as well. When
connected to IP1 and doing data transmission, but IP2 is unreachable –after receiving ACK from
IP1 server, data is removed from memory, which can cause information loss in IP2 server.
Please have in mind that ports for TCP and UDP transfer protocols usually are different –please
select correct transfer protocol and enter correct port.
Two server mode doubles the amount of data that is being sent. Before using this functionality
consider the cost which arises from the higher data traffic.

With Authorized numbers you can apply password for SMS
commands. Also you can enter specific numbers who can
send commands to device.
If you check Enable list for voice calls entered numbers will
be able to call to device for conversation or for listen-in
purposes.
Enable configuration over SMS - this checkbox controls
configuration over the SMS feature. Full functionality
description can be found at our FTP server.
Following features need extensive configuration and functionalities descriptions are available.
ECO Driving options are used to choose sensitivity for ECO Drive functionality. It help rate drivers by safety
or by fuel economy. Full functionality description can be found at our FTP server, ECO Drive.
Authorized ID’s allows you to fill in a list of authorized IDs who can start engine when ignition blocking is
used. More information about this functionality is available on our FTP server, FM-Eco4, Pro4, Tco4 +
Driver registration.
