jos 2 years ago

Hello,
I have about 20 minifinder2 in my traccart and the are working no problem there.
Now i whant to connect a new minifinder (ewviews EV-07BX) but i do not se this on in my traccar.
Also i do not the the minifinder port 5178 in the default.xml.
I have update my traccar from 6.1 to 6.5 and made a backup of the default.xml and the traccar.xml alfter the update the default.xml whas not in the folder.
Strange or not?????
So i put the old default.xml in to the folder but still not working.
So the EV-07BX that are already in the system are working fine but no new devices.

the EV-07BX is on poort 5178 , i also have test the ev-07BX on poort 5062 but nothing.

The default.xml has been removed recently because people misusing it.

If the device doesn't connect, you should follow the server troubleshooting.

minifinder2 protocol was implemented in v4.4 - release notes https://www.traccar.org/blog/traccar-4-4

However, I found in the source code the protocol port is different. The last two digits are swapped for whatever reason, 78 is swapped to 87 to become port 5187.

minifinder2.port=5187

Where is it swapped? Please links.

In the default.xml for release v5.12 (I am using this older version). Port 5187 works with minifinder2 on this version.

I unpacked the source build to find the default.xml for this release https://github.com/traccar/traccar/archive/refs/tags/v5.12.zip

And where do you see 5178?

bluecheckedshirt 14 days ago

Port 5187 (not 5178)

.\traccar-5.12\traccar-5.12\setup\default.xml

Line 232

Picture above.

Are you referring to the earlier messages? Obviously you should check official documentation for port numbers. There's no inconsistency there.

I am saying that minifinder2 works on port 5187 with v5.12.

I have searched the official online documentation but I can't find anything about protocol ports, hence why I am looking at the default.xml . If the document is there, it's very difficult to find.
