PC Connection (Windows)
1. Power-up FMB920 with DC voltage (6 –30 V) power supply
using power wires. LED’s should start blinking, see “LED
indications”.
2. Connect device to computer using Micro-USB cable or
Bluetooth connection:
Using Micro-USB cable
▬You will need to install USB drivers, see “How to install
USB drivers (Windows)”
Using Bluetooth
▬FMB920 Bluetooth is enabled by default. Turn on
Bluetooth on your PC, then select Add Bluetooth or
other device > Bluetooth. Choose your device named –
“FMB920_last_7_imei_digits”, without LE in the end.
Enter default password 5555, press Connect and then
select Done.
3. You are now ready to use the device on your computer.
How to install USB drivers
(Windows)
1. Please download COM port drivers from here.
2. Extract and run TeltonikaCOMDriver.exe.
3. Click Next in driver installation window.
4. In the following window click Install button.
Setup will continue installing the driver and eventually the
confirmation window will appear. Click Finish to complete the
setup.
Configuration (Windows)
At first FMB920 device will have default factory settings set. These
settings should be changed according to the user's needs. Main
configuration can be performed via Teltonika Configurator
software. Get the latest Configurator version from here.
Configurator operates on Microsoft Windows OS and uses
prerequisite MS .NET Framework. Make sure you have the correct
version installed.

Configuration process begins by pressing on connected device
(Figure 9 Device connected via USB).
After connection to Configurator Status window will be displayed
(Figure 10 Configurator Status window).
Various Status window tabs display information about GNSS,
GSM,I/O, Maintenance and etc. FMB920 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:
1. Load from device –loads configuration from device.
2. Save to device –saves configuration to device.
3. Load from file –loads configuration from file.
4. Save to file –saves configuration to file.
5. Update firmware –updates firmware on device.
6. Read records –reads records from the device.
7. Reboot device –restarts device.
8. Reset configuration –sets device configuration to
default.
Most important configurator section is GPRS –where all your
server and GPRS settings can be configured and Data Acquisition
–where data acquiring parameters can be configured.
More details about FMB920 configuration using Configurator can
be found in our Wiki.

Quick SMS configuration
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:
Note: Before SMS text, two space symbols should be inserted.
GPRS settings:

2001
–APN
–APN username (if there
2002
are no APN username, empty
field should be left)
–APN password (if there
2003
are no APN password, empty
field should be left)
Server settings:
–Domain
2004
–Port
2005
–Data sending protocol
2006
(0 –TCP, 1 –UDP)
Default configuration settings
Movement and ignition detection:
Vehicle movement will
be detected by
accelerometer
Ignition will be detected
by vehicle power voltage
between 13,2 –30 V
Device makes a record On Moving if one of these events happen:
300 seconds passes
Vehicle turns 10 degrees
Vehicle drives 100
meters
Speed difference
between last coordinate
and current position is
greater than 10 km/h
Device makes a record On Stop if:
1 hour passes while
vehicle is stationary
and ignition is off
Records sending to server:
If device has made a
record it is sent to the
server every 120
seconds
After successful SMS configuration, FMB920 device will
synchronize time and update records to configured server.
Time intervals and default I/O elements can be changed by using
Teltonika Configurator or SMS parameters.

Mounting recommendations
Connecting Wires
▬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.
Connecting power source
▬Be sure that after the car computer falls asleep, power is still
available on chosen wire. Depending on car, this may
happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
▬When module is connected, measure voltage again to make
sure it did not decrease.
▬It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in
the fuse box.
▬Use 3A, 125V external fuse.
Connecting ignition wire
▬Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire i. e. power does not
disappear after starting the engine.
▬Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most
of the vehicle electronics 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.
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 spot where loop is going to
be connected.
▬
PAY ATTENTION! Connecting the power supply must be
carried out in a very low impedance point of on-board
vehicle network. Connecting the GND at an arbitrary
point to the mass of the car is unacceptable, as static
and dynamic potentials on the line GND will be
unpredictable, which can lead to unstable FMB920
operation and even its failure.
