===Connect device to BAG·Tower===
----Connect '''Teltonika-Networks''' device to the created '''BAG·Tower''' asset.
*Go to the '''Details''' page of the created '''BAG·Tower''' asset in '''Asset Management -> Your assets -> Asset List'''.
* In the '''Asset Detail''' page copy the generated '''API Key'''.
[[File:Networking rutos configuration example bag tower usecase asset details v2.jpg|border|class=tlt-border|1102x1102px]]
*Log in to '''Teltonika-Networks''' device and navigate to '''System -> CLI'''. Login using these credentials: '''Username - root''', '''Password - Your device Admin password'''. If you're having trouble finding any page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Basic" button under "Mode," which is located at the top-right corner of the WebUI. Alternatively you can connect to your device through your terminal using '''ssh (Secure shell)''' command: <pre>ssh root@<device_ip_address> </pre>When asked follow the directions and enter '''yes''' and '''Your device Admin Password'''. For more information on ssh command please use this [https://www.google.com website], enter topic, that you are interested in, into the search bar and press enter.

*Run the following command with __API_KEY__ option replaced by the previously copied assets API Key:
<pre>
sh -c "$(wget -qO - <nowiki>https://scripts.bagtower.bag-era.fr/install_push_teltonika.sh</nowiki>)" <nowiki>''</nowiki> __API_KEY__ 
</pre>

*After you execute that command you should get a similar response:
<pre>
install script version 1.4.4
Configuring your asset ...
.. configuration ok
pushing data ..

push script version 1.4.4

** getting asset info ...
      getting TRB141 data
   .. ok 

** pushing asset info ...
600: 600
   .. done 

** updating crontab ...
      asset_period: 600 seconds
   .. done 
.. data pushed
!! all set !!!
</pre>

*Now your device should start sending information to the '''BAG·Tower''' platform. You should see your assets status change to '''Anomaly detected''' in the platforms page '''Asset Management -> Your assets -> Asset List'''. This is because there is no decoder configured for that asset or group.

===Create a decoder===
----Create a '''BAG·Tower''' decoder so that '''BAG·Tower''' platform can understand information from '''Teltonika-Netwokrs''' device.
* To understand the information that is being sent from the device, '''BAG·Tower''' needs to have a decoder configured. To configure it go to '''BAG·Tower''' platform page and in '''Asset Management -> Your assets -> Asset List''' click on '''Detail >''' button of an asset with the '''Status''' showing as '''Anomaly detected'''.
[[File:Networking rutos configuration example bag tower usecase asset list anomaly details v1.jpg|border|class=tlt-border|1102x1102px]]
*In the '''Asset''' '''Detail'''s page click '''Create a Decoder''' button.
[[File:Networking rutos configuration example bag tower usecase asset details decoder v3.jpg|border|class=tlt-border]]

*Change the name of the '''Decoder'''. Download Teltonika decoder file and replace the '''Code''' section content with the content from Teltonika decoder. Select an Asset and a Frame. You can get the latest version of Teltonika decoder from the '''BAG·Tower''' page or through [https://scripts.bagtower.bag-era.fr/teltonika_decoder.py this link].

If everything was done correctly now you should be all set and your device information should now periodically update in the '''Asset Details''' page. Your '''Teltonika-Networks''' device asset in '''BAG·Tower''' platform should now be shows as '''Online''' and its '''Detail''' page should now show graphs with information from that device.[[File:Networking rutos configuration example bag tower usecase asset list online asset v3.jpg|border|class=tlt-border|1102x1102px]][[File:Networking rutos configuration example bag tower usecase asset details online v2.jpg|border|class=tlt-border|1102x1102px]]
