How do you configure a Teltonika device?

According to the Teltonika wiki, the configuration menu is in the Management tab. You can use it to upload backup files or configure your device that is registered on your RMS profile.
To configure your device, go to the web page for RMS. In the left panel, click on "Management" and then go to "Devices." In the Devices submenu, select "Configuration" and then "Configure Device."
Depending on the device you're trying to configure, you'll see the configuration options. Select your device and choose the settings you wish to configure. Fill in the information and then click on "Save." You will see the configuration process in the next window.
Finally, click on the "Close" button. Close the window and wait for your device to load the new settings. It could take a while for the configuration to redownload. If you have any queries, contact Teltonika support.

How do you set up the RUT950 Teltonika router?

To set up the Teltonika RUT950, you need a Soracom account, a Soracom SIM card, and a computer or tablet in addition to the router itself. Start by registering your SIM card. Remove the SIM card from its package and use the eject tool that comes with the Teltonika router RUT950 to depress the eject button for the SIM card tray.
When the card tray is released, put the SIM on the card, and ensure you're orienting it properly. Then, insert the tray back into the Teltonika router RUT950.
Plug the power adapter and give the router a few minutes to boot. Now, you just have to configure the APN settings of the SIM card and let the router search for the cellular network and connect to it.
Follow the steps below for configuration:
  • Connect to the Wi-Fi network the router broadcasts using your tablet or phone. You can see the default username and password on the back of the router.
  • Type http://192.168.1.1 in the web browser to open the configuration screen.
  • Log in to the WebUI. The default username is "admin," and the password is "admin01".
  • After logging in, you will see the status overview page for the router. Go to "Network" and then to "Mobile."
  • In the section for the APN setting, type "soracom.io." You may have to uncheck the "Auto" checkbox to enter these settings.
  • Make sure you uncheck the "Deny Data Roaming" box too. It's fine if the other settings have their default values.
  • Click on the "Save" button to confirm the changes.
The device will take a few minutes to save these settings. After the configuration has been reloaded, the router will search for available networks and connect to one automatically. Go to the Status menu and then select "Overview" to check the cellular connection status.
