i already know what was wrong, omg guys.
i have already a gps tracker and have this entry in the traccar.xml file:
<entry key='watch.port'>5093</entry>
that works fine for that gps tracker
so i add a second entry below it:
<entry key='watch.port'>5013</entry>
but i just scroll down in the list: <!-- // Example ports/protocols you can activate.
and i see this one:
<entry key='h02.port'>5013</entry>
that was the good one.
just that simple it sometimes can be!
strange, that is the only message i see in the logs
