DL6YA 5 months ago

Hey i ordered and recieved my ZX908 from aliexpress. I installed the traccar Docker on my seerver and the server ist running fine so far. I did insert a SIM in to the ZX908. but now i dont know how to connect the ZX908 with my server. Is ther already the correct softwar/firmware on the ZX908 or do i have to flash a new one? and how? Would be very thanksfull for the community for some hlep.

You should configure the device to point to your traccar server. Make sure the service device port is accesible from the internet.

Thx so far. I did already read the guide. Unfortunately there was no manual of the zx908 included. How do I configure the client? Via USB oder is there a UART port?

That's something you should read in the device manual.

That is the issue. I didn't get one and cound not find one. Any ideas?

You bought a device and it didn't come with a manual? Have you asked the seller?

It's aliexpress. I tried but no response. It was Just the board without battery or case. Only IMEI sticker on it

Wait. So it it a tracking device or just a clean board?

Hi,
thats the manual
I found for the ZX 908.
I got it working with traccar by using port 5023 (GT06), 5199 works as well.
The problem is, it won´t wake up after it became stationary for a while. Seems to be a common problem.
That´s not an issue on the 365gps server.

Hi, i've the ZX905, which is similar i think, since last week.
Here are the sms commands I've sent to the tracker to set it up to my traccar server:

APN,internet.t-mobile,,# insert the correct apn
SERVER,XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,5199# put in ip
TIMEZONE,0#
TIMER,30,3600# post datta 30s if moving, 3600s if not

Now the tracker talks to my server...

for 908

@ Felix Richter

did you encounter any issues regarding the "wake up problem" I mentioned before with your 905 board?
