GPS chinese clone and where to put password

Marco3 days ago

I write in this forum hoping someone else had to face the same obstacle.

I have a chinese gps from aliexpres that use the default horrible app gps365.

I have a working Traccar server on my raspberry with a static ip 89.xxx.xxx.xxx:17000 (Port is forwarded to 8082).
I can change the ip address of the device with the sms command SERVER#[IP ADDRESS]#[PORT]# like SERVER#89.xxx.xxx.xxx#17001# and I revive the response:
Current::0
if I ask with the command SERVER# I receive the setting:
Server:81.xxx.xxx.xxx,17001,0,0

With my provider I can't open directly port 5001 or similar, so I forwarded the port 17001 in my raspberry behind an eero network to port 5001.

But before to try different protocols and ports, I would like to ask if someone can tell me where insert the password of the device: in the original app /wesite gps365.ne I have to insert the imei 86126xxxxxxxxxx and the password 123456.
Where I have to insert password? In the Traccar Manager with the attributes feature and device password? Thank you, Marco

If your device connects to your traccar server port 5001 (from you forwarded router port 17001). Then it should already work.

Because, you use the traccar server web login as admin (with your admin login credentials) on port 8082 and there you add the device ID from the tracker (you should be able to see the tracker device id in the traccar server log also.

So your idear of using the device imei and password has nothing to do with it. You just use your traccar admin login and there you add the device id to the server. If the device/tracker connects to your port 5001 it should come online (if using the correct protocol port).

Thank you for clarify my doubt, after few test I found the correct port and the device is online. I was scared about password and why traccar doesn't use it.

Yeah, traccar has a huge learning curve if you go in deep. But that also makes it interesting!
