What would you recommend in order to track the Fona 3G modem with Traccar? Is it even possible? The device does have an IMEI. Do I use that IMEI for the device ID? I appreciate your help.

Does the device have GPS? Can it report its location to the server?

What's the format that it reports in?

Nmea-0183

NMEA protocol doesn't include identification, so it can't be supported. You should contact device vendor to clarify it the device can send the identification along with NMEA data.

I have their datasheet and it looks like it does. How woukd you go about attempting to try it? For instance, which port would I use? Do I use the IMEI of th3 device for the device ID?

You can try port 5005. You should use whatever ID your device reports. Usually it's IMEI number.
