Chinese TK02 clone ports

automods7 years ago

Good Afternoon everyone,

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this little tracker.

It's a cheapy Chinese one bought years ago, and thought id try to get it working on our server.
Server is running and working with other devices, and the log shows this device is talking to the server, but doesn't seem to understand what its saying.

Log shows

2017-10-24 14:00:55 DEBUG: [DA900FCF: 5002 < 82.132.226.128] HEX: 23232c696d65693a3335383934383031323737393830352c413b

put through the hex decoder it's saying

imei:358948012779805,tracker,0000000000,,L,;

I've looked through the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tananaev/traccar/master/tools/test-integration.py page and can only see the word tracker in one protocol, the manpower ones, so tried 5042 and no luck, have also tried
5001 ,5002, 5006, 5013, 5023, 5036, 5093

Just does not ever seem to go online :(

It's GPS103 protocol, so correct port is 5001. Another problem is that, as you can see yourself, device doesn't report location. Possibly it just doesn't have a GPS fix or some device malfunction.

Many thanks Anton

Will try that tomorrow,

the thing has got to be at least 5 years old and I thought I’d put in a battery to see if it showed any signs of life.

It was inside a Building when I tested it and will probably need to be outside and moving to be able to report a location.
