Hi,
I have bought a device named tk102b which, from what I read, should work on port 5023. However, if I set it to port 5001, I get something like this:

and when I change it to port 5023 it disconnects (see last entry in the log) and I get no more entry afterward. I tried to restart the traccar server as suggested but still no logs from the device... I'm not sure I understand what I'm missing here.
It's definitely GT06 protocol. Port 5023 is the correct one.
Hi Anton, thanks a lot for the answer. So you mean I should complain with the producer as it does not work? or you think I am doing something wrong? Just to complete my former post, if I switch back to port 5001, I get the device logging again...
I think you just need to wait for it to send data. There is nothing special about port 5001.
Dear Anton,
I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Congratulations by your page, very interesting and wonderful! ;-)
Today I bought a "local brand" TK102 with firmware version 102_150121_140617, I need to configure it to send UDP packets using GPRS.
The issue is that is configured (and fixed!) in SMS mode. Do you know if is necessary to change the firmware to activate GPRS?
Using "check123456" appears the following message:
Battery: 100%
GPRS: OFF
GPS: ON
GSM: 19
Commands like "admininp123456 server port" and "gprs123456" respond OK! But using Wireshark the UDP packets don't appear.
Thanks in advance by your help.
Sebastián.
Have you configured APN correctly?
Yes, I have configured it.
without USE and without PASS
I have the ports open and the IP is OK. Do you know if it possible to load a URL?
Thanks so much!
Sebastián.
Another issue is that when I send the following command:
"gprs123456"
The device answers:
"PWD FAIL"
But the other commands works fine. Maybe is it blocked by default to use only SMS?
Thanks again.
Seba.
Possibly a device issue. I think it's better to contact seller or manufacturer.
Thanks so much Anton by your help!
Your web page is excelent!!!
Regards from Argentina.
Hi Anton!
Congrats for Your great work! I'm using TRACCAR Server 3.1 with MySQL server and with my own PHP frontend.
I'm using chinese TK-103 devices which are using gps103 protocol. But i've bought devices from a new supplier, it was been sold as TK-103A, but i've been figured out, that is is using GT06 protocol. The server responds to the tracker in order over 5023 port, altough there's no data in the position table. The tracker is working properly, sends real position in SMS when asked. Can You look at this for Me:
Log seems like this:

Thanks, PJ.
@patkojanos, your device doesn't send any GPS data. Possibly it doesn't have a GPS fix.
This wa my first thought, but it sends real position in SMS:

It is connected to an antenne with clear sky view, which i'm using for testing purposes. And the GPS LED lights up, showing it's OK. But thank You, I'm keep on trying sending data maybe this helps...
Excuse me Sir, how can I check LOG?
