I’m working on a project involving the Teltonika FMB920 device, and I need some guidance on sending commands like “Remote shutdown” and “getgps” and others from a backend server using the Teltonika Codec 8 format. I’ve gone through the documentation, but I’m still unclear on a few points and would appreciate your expertise.
Here’s what I’m trying to achieve:
I have a backend server set up to communicate with the FMB920 over GPRS (TCP connection).
I want to send commands like “Remote shutdown” to remotely disable the device and “getgps” to retrieve current GPS coordinates and other commands.
I’ve already configured the device to send data to my server, and I can parse incoming AVL data packets successfully. Now, I just need to figure out the command-sending part. Any examples, tips, or references to relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated!
Any help, resources, or insights would be greatly appreciated.
For remote vehicle control (as you mentioned it as remote shutdown), the setdigout command will be used. Please check the command details from link https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/FMB_setdigout
Regarding the GPRS command communication, it is required to implement the Codec 12 protocol as Codec 8 and Codec 8 Extended are only used for data sending to the server and cannot be work with GPRS command communication,
Furthermore, once Codec 12 is implemented on the server, you will be able to send all commands through the GPRS channel to the device and receive responses back on the server,

Thank you again for your prompt and helpful response!
To follow up: Are there any specific configurations or settings I need to activate in the Teltonika Configurator for the FMB920 to ensure it can receive commands from my backend server? I want to make sure the device is properly set up to accept commands like “setdigout” and “getgps.”
There’s no specific configuration is required on the device for GPRS commands sending,
Only the ip/port of server needs to be configured,
Once the device is directed to the server, you can initiate sending all gprs commands supported by the device.
