To start using Traccar follow instructions below:

  • Log on as administrator (user - admin, password - admin) or register new user
  • Add new device with unique idenfier (see section below)
  • Configure your device to use appropriate address and port (see section below)

Device Unique Identifier

For most devices you should use IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number as unique identifier. However, some devices have vendor specific unique identifier, for example TK-103 devices use 12-digit identifier.

If you don't know device identifier you can configure device first and look at server log file. When server receives message from unknown device it writes a record containing unique identifier of new device. Look for records like "Unknown device - 123456789012345", where 123456789012345 is your device identifier.

Address and Port

To host Traccar server your computer must have public static IP address, most ISPs provide such feature for extra fee. Your current IP address is 107.22.156.205.

To select correct port find your device in the list of supported devices. Third column of corresponding row contains default port number for your device. If you want to use different from default ports you can change them in configuration file.
