4Device configuration
4.1 Driver installation
Virtual COM port driver installation is mandatory, only then your PC will recognize the FM-Pro4 / Pro4 3G /
Pro4 BT device that was connected to the USB port. You can download newest drivers on our
documentation website (VCOM drivers).
Choose correct archive file with drivers for your OS version and download it to your PC.
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.

4.2 Sample configuration
Please go to our documentation website and download sample configuration and the latest configurator.Also
you will need the latest version of Microsoft Framework.
Operating system requirements:
MS Windows XP/Vista/7/8
Example for FM-Pro4 / Pro4 3G:
Start the VCP.exe from configurator folder.
Select Pro4.
Click File → Open CFG.
In dialog window, browse the sample configuration file you downloaded from the documentation
website.
Click Open.

FM-Pro4 BT
Procedure for Pro4 BT device is very similar. Download configurator and sample configuration file for the
FM-Pro4 BT device. In configurator select Pro4 BT and open “Standard config PRO BT (for clients).ff4c” file.
Sample parameters will be loaded. However you will need to enter other parameters on your own.
1. Enter IP (in the 255.255.255.255 format) or a Domain Name (not exceeding 40 characters) and
PORT to which the device should send data.
2. Enter APN settings: APN name, User login and Password (if login and password is 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 a COM port you connected the device to and click “Connect”. At this point the configuration is
ready to be send to the device, so the device must be connected to the computer.
4. Click “Send CFG”button. The configuration will be uploaded to the device.
Note
APN name, login and password should be provided by your mobile network operator.
Now the device is configured to send data to the specific server. Sample IO parameters are enabled
(loaded with configuration file). You can log in to your tracking platform to see whether the device is
sending data.

4.3 Advanced configuration
The configuration tool is quite similar to the ones used for other 3rd generation devices. Overview of the
configuration is described in sections.
The “File”menu gives you access to control
configuration files. Choose New/Save/Open CFG to
perform the corresponding action. CFG means full
configuration file.
The “Tools”menu contains language selection
options: English or Russian are available.
Save/Open DIFF allows you to create a DIFF file.
DIFF files are used to change only one or few certain parameters without a need to upload the full
configuration to the device. It is useful, when updating over-the-air.
Attention
A DIFF file will save all made changes to a configuration. For example changing a number in the IP filed, or
marking a checkbox, but, if a change was made, and afterwards reverted to the previous state (checkbox
checked, and unchecked afterwards), this will not be marked as a "change made". DIFF will only record
changes made to the initial configuration (a loaded pre-set configuration is considered an initial
configuration). Particular attention must be taken, when creating a DIFF file, to avoid accidental changes to
the configuration.
The control panel on the left hand side allows you to choose and control the device.
Select the “COM” port that the device is connected to and hit “Connect”. At this point
FM4 configurator checks compatibility between itself and firmware (FW) in the device.
Every FW version is released together with a recommended FM4 configurator. More
information about different FW’s and recommended configurators for them can be found
in FW changelogs. After compatibility check, three outcomes are possible:
1. FW and FM4 configurator versions are compatible. Go ahead and continue FM
device configuration.
2. FW is incompatible with this FM4 configurator, because FW version is too old for
this configurator. This will be notified in a new alert pop up window. “Send CFG”
and “Get CFG” buttons will be disabled. Use “Send FW” button to update firmware
version in the device.
3. FW is incompatible with this FM4 configurator, because configurator is too old for
this FW version. This will be notified in a new alert pop up window. “Send CFG”
and “Get CFG” buttons will be disabled. Download new version of FM4 configurator, which is
recommended for this firmware version.
“Send CFG”and “Get CFG”buttons are used to send and receive the configuration file to/from the
hardware.
“Send FW”is used to send new firmware to your device.
In the drop box below you can select a type of the device. If you connected one to your PC, it will be
displayed. Now Pro4 or Pro4 BT name should be displayed.

4.3.1 Global settings
The first part of the configuration tool is “Global” settings. Global include connection settings and other
settings independent from the profile settings –global settings are the same for all profiles.
Connection settings here 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.
Note
Please have in mind that ports for TCP and UDP transfer protocols usually are different –please select the
correct transfer protocol and enter the correct port.
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.
