Can't retrieve IMEI for the device.

techurity8 years ago

Hello Genius ppl..

I am an IT specialist at Security Systems, but new at the GPS Trackers and so
I have an issue that i would pleased to be solved, HERE IT IS:
Device: oodo CT01 (China)
I would like to add this device to my Traccar server that i already installed and tested to be working with a Mobile device sending its coordinates and everything is working good.
But i cant add the GPS Tracker because i cant find the IMEI identifier for the device even in the Hardware or at the manual and i tried to get it from the Mobile network i am registered at, it seems that the IMEI is one of the top secret things in their company.

If i got the IMEI i can add the device and make it works.
Please help me with finding the IMEI for the CT01 Tracker

Thanks in advance

Hi James,

If you can open the device to insert the SIM card, you might be able to remove the case and see the cellular modem chip. The IMEI number is written on the cell modem module.

Thanks Darreno, But this couldn't help..i searched all over the device from the inside and even the cover from the inside could find any serial numbers.

Is there any other ways to find the IMEI of the device?????!!!!!

Please Support.

Do you want to use your own server or one of the demo servers?

Thanks Anton for your concern
Yes i already installed my own Traccar server, but the problem is I cant find the IMEI of CT01 Tracker.
Please Help

You can check tracker-server logs. If your device sends data, it would log "unknown device" records with the identifier.

Dear, Anton Tananaev

How can any information appears on the Server logs and i didn't configure the device to send to the Server.?!

How can i configure the (oodo-CT01) tracker with the Traccar-Server without the IMEI
Please consider the device contains USB port i don't know what to do with it..

Thanks

You don't need IMEI number to configure your device. You just need to set your server address and port on the tracker.

Anton i cant connect my device to the Server
No SMS command is working with me i tried everything
Nothing log on the server

Please refer to me any command that can work with CT01

THanks

I think I found the command to set APN:

APN:name,user,password

But unfortunately there is nothing on how to set server. Possibly there is no way.

techurity8 years ago

I tried that command too and the device didn't replay from it

So the only solution i have is to get the IMEI of the device and configure it on the Traccar Server
Am i correct??

Anton Tananaev8 years ago

No, that's correct. IMEI is just an identifier. You need to be able to configure device to send data to Traccar.

Okay i understand what you mean...
The device contains an USB port will it be helpful ??

Sorry but i am new at GPS
