Differences among Port 5001 , 5002 , 5006

Jon smith6 years ago

Good Day,

Can you please brief me about following Ports which are running for protocol TK103?

5001
5002
5006
5013
5023
5036
5093

Thanx.

There is a reason we list all those ports. The reason is that Chinese GPS device vendors re-use same popular names (TK103 and other) for completely different protocols and devices. Your TK103 can use different protocol/port than my TK103. There is no way to know for sure, unless you have protocol documentation for your specific device model.

Then how to identify which port is good for my device ?

The easiest option is just to try all listed ports and see which one works.

Thank you for prompt reply.

I have gone through following link which is mentioned in "Supported Devices" (https://www.traccar.org/devices/) page.

Currently I am using 5002 port. I want to know whether I will get different hexcode string from device for different different port?
I also have one device which supports AC. 5002 port will provide AC information or I have use another port to achieve desire output?

Please guide me for the same.

Thank You.

You need to use port for your device. It's just one. If it works on port 5002, that's it. There is no need to try any other ports.

Thank you.
For just my knowledge can you please tell me the differences between different port. Is there any difference in Hex String? So in case if any device send different hex string than will identify it easily.

Different ports are for different protocols (message formats).

Is it possible for you to provide formats for TK103 protocol for different ports ?
