17582: FMB125 with Garmin DriveSmart 61 LMT-D

Hi,

we are currently working on connecting our FMB125 with a Garmin DriveSmart 61LMT-D. With the FMI development kit we already can send messages to our Garmin, so the basic connection works.

We also receive communication on our serverside (Hercules) when sending messages from Garmin. So the FMB should also be connected fine with the Garmin and they seem to communicate without errors.

In addition to that, we can send commands to the FMB125 via Hercules (like it's described here: https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/FMB125_Testing_RS-232_and_RS-485_TCP_link_mode#Step_4..09Sending_from_server_to_external_device_over_Hercules ) and receive the proper response. So Codec 12 is no problem, we know how to deal with it ( https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/Codec#Codec_12 ).

 

But we are currently stuck at sending messages via Hercules to our Garmin. We can't seem to find any information on how to achieve that. Basically we want to do stuff like these Standard Protocols: https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/FMB125_RS-232_and_RS-485#Garmin_protocols

Can you give any low-level example (hex code to use with a description for each byte) so we can give it a first try with Hercules? A list of possible commands would also be nice (Garmin-specific).

Thanks in advance!

Hello.

You should contact Garmin regarding commands/Protocols that Garmin devices accept. This is information that we cannot provide as this not Our product. Our product just enables communications between devices and if FMB device receives information that Garmin sends, it means everything is working fine from Our side.

As far as protocols and supported features You can find more information here: https://developer.garmin.com/fleet-management/protocol-support/

Best Regards

Hello,

the protocol stuff should all be fine we are just in lack of real working examples on how to send commands via the FMB. So it's not really helpful to contact Garmin regarding this issue. Maybe you have any examples or even better a step-by-step manual on how to send commands or how to debug the communication.
Thanks in advance.
