TRB143 Data to Server — Teltonika Networks Docs

The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version TRB1_R_00.07.22.1.

Summary

The Data to Server feature provides you with the possibility to set up data senders that collect data from various sources and periodically send it to remote servers.

Note: on some devices, Data to Server is additional software that can be installed from the System → Package Manager page.}}

Data Senders

A Data Sender is an instance that gathers and periodically sends collected data to a specified server. The Data Senders list is empty by default so, in order to begin configuration you must add a new collection first. To add a new collection, click the 'Add' button.

After this you should be redirected to the newly added data configuration page.
