Handling Dual IMEI Configuration (FMC125 & Iridium Edge) in Traccar

Cedricka month ago

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working with a Teltonika FMC125 tracker integrated with an Iridium Edge modem for satellite backup communication. However, I’m facing an issue with the way IMEIs are managed in Traccar.

Context:
FMC125 transmits its own IMEI when sending data via GSM.
Iridium Edge transmits its IMEI when the FMC125 switches to satellite communication (backup mode).
This results in two different IMEIs being used depending on the connection type. Unfortunately, Traccar only supports handling one IMEI per device at a time.

Question:
Is it possible to manually add the Iridium Edge IMEI into Traccar’s database alongside the FMC125 IMEI?

The goal is for Traccar to seamlessly process data sent by either IMEI, depending on whether the data is transmitted over GSM (via FMC125) or satellite (via Iridium Edge).

Additional Information:
Both IMEIs belong to the same physical setup (FMC125 + Iridium Edge).
The use case is critical for ensuring continuity of data tracking during network outages.
If anyone has dealt with a similar configuration or knows how to manage dual IMEIs in Traccar, I’d greatly appreciate your guidance.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Does Teltonika support using something else for the id? Many other vendors allow you to customize what is sent as the id. In some cases it's a serial number. In some cases any arbitrary strong can be an id.

@Anton Tananaev bonsoir, malheureusement teltonika ne prends pas en charge deux identifiants à la fois; la raison nous avons besoin de savoir comment paramétrer deux identifiants à la fois dans notre serveur traccar ou s'il y'a un script pour le faire fonctionné si possible.
