  • 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:
    ssh root@<device_ip_address> 
    When asked follow the directions and enter yes and Your device Admin Password.

  • Run the following command with __API_KEY__ option replaced by the previously copied assets API Key:
sh -c "$(wget -qO - https://scripts.bagtower.bag-era.fr/install_push_teltonika.sh)" '' __API_KEY__ 
  • After you execute that command you should get a similar response:
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 !!!
  • 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-Networks 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.
