Codex4 years ago

Hello

I have installed successfully traccar on the server. but how can I activate the device on the server which will send data to the server?

As I am using M2M Sim card which has 13 Digit number. so how can I activate the device which will point to the server? As well as sending others command which I can operate device like an engine cut.

Thanks

If you follow what I did from start to end, but with particular attention to my final post, you'll figure out what you need to do.

Are you running your own server or using a free one? Check out the final post I made, look up your device in the list of devices, it shows you what port number to use when you use your Adminip command.

If you want any further help, be sure to post what commands you've sent to your tracker so that we can help you.

Best,

Wulfrun

Hi @Wulfrun Lorensen

I am using Own Server, How do I communicate from server to device like As you suggested at the end Adminip. Seriously not get that if you would help me to understand thoroughly would be appreciate

It is possible to send messages to the device via the web UI, although I am not sure how to do so.

All of my communication is done via me sending SMS messages from my mobile phone to the tracking unit. Have you done any set-up for the unit yet? I am guessing not.

It looks like this is your device: http://www.elmic.pl/images/GT06N/ELMIC-GT06N-EN-manual-1.0.2.pdf

If so you need to follow the instructions there first. As I said, it involves text commands from your phone to the unit. This will take a lot of trial and error. I've been working mostly with 106/TK-Star models, and the commands look very different.

Once you've set the APN, this section from the manual:

.
DNS setting 
To connect other platform, please send the two SMS 
commands bleow: 
Command format
:
APN,APN's Name#
SERVER,1,DNS,Port,0#
E.g:  
APN,internet#
SERVER,1,www.gpsluckly.com,0088,0#   (for internet pl
atform www.gpsyeah.com) 
It will reply “OK” after set successfully.

... Looks like what you need to get it to point to your server. I am assuming you replace 0088 with the port for your device listed in https://www.traccar.org/identify-protocol/; looks like you should use port 5023 - make sure it's opened up/port forwarded to the outside world on your server.

Then you connect to your server (default port 8082 unless you changed it). However, best advice is to see the output coming from running the server process, because first time the device connects, unless you've set the identifier for it, it won't get imported to be viewed in the UI; however, it will state that an error was made on the CLI (command line interface) or server logs.

Are you running Windows, Mac or Linux for your server?
