Quick answers

Stock Traccar port?

TCP 5091.

Frame helper?

GalileoFrameDecoder with BlackKite tag constants.

IMEI tag?

Tag 0x03; coordinates tag 0x30.

BlackKite on Traccar TCP 5091 reuses GalileoFrameDecoder framing with a BlackKite tag map: IMEI 0x03, date 0x20, coordinates 0x30, speed/course 0x33, altitude 0x34, status 0x40, IO/voltage tags 0x45–0x53, XT tags 0x60–0x62. Ack is header 0x02 plus checksum.

Tagged sibling on 5091

Arnavi’s binary on 5100 is 0xFF versioned records, not Galileo tags. Wave-02 Galileo on 5034 is a different Bitrek-style page; BlackKite keeps the Galileo frame helper but its own decoder class/port.

Catalogue stance

Stock Traccar reference. Traxelio lists BlackKite as positions_only.

Setup walkthrough

  1. 1

    Aim at TCP 5091, not 5100

    Arnavi dual-path lives on 5100; BlackKite tags will not parse there.

  2. 2

    Capture a tagged batch

    Hex should expose tag 0x03 then later 0x30 for a fix.

  3. 3

    Confirm 0x02 ack

    Missing checksum ack causes device-side retries.

  4. 4

    Optional XT/voltage tags

    0x50–0x53 and 0x60–0x62 enrich IO — not required for first fix.

Common troubleshooting

No tag 0x30

IMEI-only batches bind the device but leave maps empty until coordinates tag arrives.

Sent to Arnavi 5100

Move to 5091. Arnavi expects $AV or 0xFF versions, not Galileo tags.
