Quick answers

Stock Traccar port?

Time format?

Compact hhmmss integer stamped onto today’s date.

Cradlepoint on Traccar TCP 5118 is a LineBasedFrameDecoder CSV tailored to router/modem telemetry. CradlepointProtocolDecoder parses id,hhmmss,lat,NS,lon,EW,speed,course,carrier,serdis,rsrp,rssi,rsrq,ecio,wan-ip — note carrid, serdis, rsrp, rsrq, and ecio fields that ordinary tracker CSVs omit.

Router-grade CSV

Distinct from Cguard’s NV:/BC: tags on 5123 and from Enfora’s embedded GPRMC binary shell on 5008. Cradlepoint’s identity is LTE quality columns on 5118.

Catalogue stance

Stock Traccar reference. Traxelio positions_only.

Setup walkthrough

  1. 1

    Enable Cradlepoint location reporting

    Firmware must emit the CSV line shape, not raw NMEA alone.

  2. 2

    Point the modem at TCP 5118

    Server hostname/IP + 5118; apply and reconnect WAN.

  3. 3

    Capture one full CSV

    Confirm rsrp/rsrq columns appear after carrier/serdis.

  4. 4

    Bind on the leading id field

    First CSV token is the device session key in the open decoder.

Common troubleshooting

Positions without signal metrics

Optional fields may be blank; coordinates still parse — empty rsrp is not a failure by itself.

Wrong day on timestamps

Decoder stamps hhmmss onto server ‘today’; overnight crossings can look skewed without a date column.
