Question

We need to extract and read the content of the log files on the SD-CARD of an FMB630 (and FMB120). These files have a .REC extension and appear to be binary files. Does anyone know how to decode them? We have tried many times to get an executable from Teltonika to read them but we have not gotten any luck or support.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Daniel,

Hope you are doing well,

In order to solve your issue we would like you to clarify few points.

1. Are you sure you want to read log files? Log files are saved in .log format. They are used for debugging and to inspect processes, commands that device is executing.

You can receive log files remotely with a help of "hercules" application, by sending special command you will be able to receive logs. SMS command used to set up log sending to server. “SMSlogin<space>SMSpassword<space>log2srv<space><enable>,<mode>,<APN>,<username>,<password>,<IP>,<port>,<TMO>,<Log mode>” , 

To initiate start of log use command “SMSlogin<space>SMSpassword<space>log2srvstart”

To initiate stop of log use command "“SMSlogin<space>SMSpassword<space>log2srvstop”

When using "hercules" to receive logs make sure FMB630 device is not sending data to a specific server, so it would not disrupt logging.

More detailed information can be found in the user manual of FMB630 device, page 164: https://teltonika.lt/downloads/en/fmb630/FMB63_User_Manual_V1.10.pdf

2. .Rec files are records that are being sent to server by your device and are used to read specific I/O parameters plus data sent by device that are all placed in AVL packet. Are you sure that you require to read .Rec files?

Best regards.

Hello and thanks for the prompt response.

We need the .REC files with the information of the I/O parameters.  This is a requirement for a certification procedure from a government authority. Basically, someone should be able to take the SIM card,  and through some executable or importing it through a web app should see the information on the .REC files.
