FM Parameters
Not all FM parameters are documented by Teltonika all the time. Some parameters may be present only in your latest Teltonika Configurator at the beginning.
FMB AVL ID
https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/Teltonika_Data_Sending_Protocols
- No. = old AVL ID (dismissed)
- Property ID = new AVL ID
All of the AVL ID's that are above 255 need to use Codec 8 Extended instead of Codec 8. The reason being, that Codec 8 AVL ID's have 1 Byte (Maximum value 255), while Codec 8 Extended has 2 Bytes for AVL ID's (Maximum value 65535). Also Codec 8 Extended can have variable size I/O elements.
Record and packet size
An AVL record contains basic AVL data. An AVL packet conveys one or more AVL records. An AVL packet is sent trough the cellular network as a cellular packet.
AVL record size:
minimum: 45 bytes (all IO elements disabled);
maximum: 783 bytes.
AVL packet size:
- minimum: 1 record;
- maximum: 1 kbyte (for FMB devices).
Most cellular network operators have a minimum billed packet size of 1 kbyte.
The cheapest way to set up the device would be to send as many records as they fit in a maximum size packet 81 kbyte).
Typical data consumption
Cellular data consumption depends on cellular network operator (tariff in home/roaming, what is charged and what is not). For example - some operators take extra fee for data session establishment; in this case, customers configure devices to hold a session open for all the time the vehicle is driving.
It also depends on how often device will send data, so configuration also matters.
Sending protocol:
- TCP uses different amount of data (headers, confirmations etc.);
- UDP uses about 3 times less traffic data then TCP.
So it is possible to have 2-3 Mb per month, or 10-15. All depends on your application and requirements.
