Falcom Bolero LT2 Support

Saladin8 years ago

Hello,
Does Traccar support Falcom Bolero LT2, i checked the source code and found that there is a protocol decoder for Falcom FOX which is quiet similar to the Bolero LT2 does this mean this protocol can handle Bolero LT2 ?
Many thanks.

Do you have protocol documentation?

It's is stated in Bolero documentation (Reference 1, chapter 4.4 'NMEA data message', page 20) that 'The BOLERO-LT device delivers data in the NMEA-0183 format'. Also the details about the protocol are specifed in there.

I also found this in the documentation (pdf2, chapter 7.3 'Supported protocols', page 328, link below) about Bolero Device :

$GPS positions<CRLF> $GPRMC,133725.569,A,5040.4365,N,01058.5650,E,0.05,302.98,251004,,*00<CRLF> <end><CRLF>

This message format seems pretty common in traccar protocol decoders, is there any chance some existing protocol might work ? Does the FoxProtocol within traccar refer to Falcom's Fox device ?

You can try port 5005 (T55 protocol). If it doesn't work, please provide some HEX samples.
