TracCar Server receive data from GPS tracker and submit data to SinoTrack Server too for tracking

Rodney Yeo2 months ago

Is there such a features for TracCar Server to receive data from SinoTrack GPS tracker and also re-submit data to SinoTrack Server too for tracking too.

Idea is to use TracCar Server as the backup redundancy server data capture and acts as reversed proxy to re-submit GPS data from SinoTrack Tracker.

Is this solution feasible? We can set the url to the external sinotrack ip and port at TracCar Device profile.

Reason for this is because gps tracker only accept one ip and port for data submission.

Yes, you can forward the data.

Great! How do I go about that forwarding of the gpa data setup? Is it at TracCar config xml file? Or at TracCar Manager, Settings, Device properties?

Anton Tananaev2 months ago

Configuration file.

Ok. Got it. Thanks alot!

BTW SinoTrack GPS Tracker does not support URL only IP for server platform.

Thanks.

That's exactly what we're expecting as well.

Luckly, SeeWorld and iStarTek GPS Tracker supports URL and IP for server platform parameters. Then DDNS URL can be use with Home TracCar Server.

I have just accidently found the solution to setting ST-906L and ST-904L SinoTrack device trackers to accept Domain Name format but it can only be set using TracCar Device Custom Command Upload function and not via SMS command send method which failed earlier.

Note: The default pin is 0000 as above following after the command function code 804 for IP.

Thank you very much Mr. Anton Tananaev for such great tips on Server Forwarding highly sought after features.

I was able to create a secondary TracCar server of my real time data sync.

From primary TracCar Server 1 @ where all my GPS Client submit their raw data.

To secondary TracCar Server 2 as live raw GPS data copy for backup redundancy purposes in event the primary server crashes.

I document this concept of TracCar Server Forwarding intended as TracCar Wiki solution for the TracCar community interest.

Thanks a million!
