Quick answers

Port?

TCP 5241.

Fingerprint?

BSTPL$ sentence prefix.

Notable attributes?

boxOpen, ICCID, RPM, gear, engine/coolant temps.

Commands?

None on BstplProtocol.

ASCII or binary?

ASCII with BSTPL$.

BSTPL sentences announce themselves with a BSTPL$ prefix. Traccar’s decoder on TCP 5241 then reads battery/firmware/ICCID/power paths and, on richer profiles, boxOpen, RPM, CAN odometer, fuel, gear, engine temperature, and coolant temperature.

Prefix is the fingerprint

If the raw line does not start with BSTPL$, you are not on this dialect — stop forcing 5241.

Engine fields vs IoTM doors

IoTM emphasises door corners and trailer id. BSTPL emphasises box-open and powertrain-ish readings. Keep the troubleshooting ladders separate.

Setup walkthrough

  1. 1

    Hunt for BSTPL$ in a raw log

    No prefix → wrong protocol.

  2. 2

    APN + host:5241

    Reboot into prefixed sentences.

  3. 3

    Toggle box open once

    Confirm boxOpen flips when the compartment moves.

  4. 4

    Read ICCID against the SIM

    Catches swapped SIMs early.

  5. 5

    Capture RPM/temp if the SKU claims CAN

    Proves the rich profile, not only GNSS.

Common troubleshooting

Prefix present, temps missing

Basic profile without CAN — expected on some SKUs.

boxOpen sticky

Sensor or reed switch fault; not a map bug.

ICCID empty

Firmware omits it until after network attach — wait one attach cycle.
