Quick answers

Which protocol and port does the FM36M1 use on Traxelio?

Teltonika Codec 8 Extended AVL on TCP port 5027. Set gps.traxelio.com and 5027 in Configurator 2004/2005. Do not pick h02 or gt06.

Is FM36M1 a 3G tracker?

No. The radio is LTE Cat-M1 and NB-IoT with GSM/GPRS fallback. Traxelio does not invent a 3G FM36 parent; /fm36 is not a published page.

Does FM36M1 read factory CAN on the harness?

Not by itself. INPUT 5 and INPUT 6 take an LV-CAN200 or ALLCAN300 adapter, same class as FMB130. For built-in dual CAN on 2G, compare FMB140.

How do I provision FM36M1?

Teltonika Configurator over USB. SMS uses two leading spaces then setparam for APN 2001 and server 2004/2005=5027. There is no four-digit SMS PIN on this model.

Overview

About the FM36M1

The Teltonika FM36M1 is a hardwired LTE Cat-M1 / NB-IoT GNSS tracker with GSM fallback. It reports Codec 8 AVL on port 5027. 4glte.eu lists 77×62×19 mm, 70.4 g, and IP41, with a 170 mAh backup pack and internal antennas. CAN is adapter-only on INPUT 5/6 (LV-CAN200 or ALLCAN300). It is not a 3G FM36, not a missing FM36 parent, and not the FMB630 serial truck box. Traxelio plots live map and geofences once Configurator points the unit at port 5027.
