STEPP 3 FALCOM

hello everyone
i cant find this type of GPS tracker STEPP 3 FALCOM, and i would like to know if TRACCAR can support this type of devices if it cans sopport it how i can make this device work with TRACCAR
Thank you so much

I would need to see protocol documentation to check.

Hello Anton,

You will find an old version of the protocol specification at https://www.falcom.de/fileadmin/downloads/documentation/AVL/AVL_PFAL_Configuration_Command_Set_2.8.0.pdf

I can email the latest one to you.

Best Regards,

I only see commands documentation. What format does it back to server in?

When the device connects to the TCP server it sends a Login message. Take a look at page 201 for an example of the $<MSG.Info.ServerLogin> login message.

The device can be configured to send one or more of the NMEA messages listed on page 328, with full details listed from page 311.
Optional user defined text can also be added before the NMEA messages.

Here is an example:

In the post above there seems to be a blank line before <end>. This is not the case. The blank lines are not present when I edit the post.

Is it possible to configure one of the devices to Traccar server and get some HEX samples from the log?

Yes, I can do that. Which IP address and port number should should I use?

You can use any of the demo servers. Any of Traccar ports should be fine.

hello every one
I sent to Anton an old screenshot HEX samples from the log
check your mail
best regards

Hello Anton,

I am now sending data to demo server 5 (port 5005).
I have configured the device to send the following NMEA messages that are defined in the document: GPGGA, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPRMC, GPGLL, GPVTG, GPIOP, GPGSM.
Depending on the configuration, all the above messages may not be sent.
The latest firmware also has NMEA messages for Glonass.
The messages may also have some user configured text before the NMEA messages.

What's the device id?

IMEI = 355797031609284

A couple of samples from the server log:
