Quick answers

Port?

TCP 5208.

Signature metric?

Height / fill level.

Vehicle ACC protocol?

Usually no — sensor/container oriented.

Commands?

None on DingtekProtocol.

Framing?

DingtekFrameDecoder + string codec.

Dingtek is not a classic ignition-and-RPM truck story. Traccar’s DingtekFrameDecoder plus string codec on TCP 5208 decodes sensor-style payloads where height / fill level is a first-class attribute — think smart bins and tank monitors that also carry a location.

Wrong mental model

If your runbook starts with “check ACC wire,” you are probably on the wrong protocol family. Dingtek tickets start with “is height updating when the container fills?”

Neighbours

Supermate on 5108 is IMEI/commandId ASCII with oil/signal fields. Sigfox on 5154 arrives as HTTP JSON from an LPWAN cloud. Neither replaces Dingtek’s framed height path.

Setup walkthrough

  1. 1

    Confirm height is in the vendor feature list

    No height → reconsider Dingtek.

  2. 2

    Bring data APN up

    Sensor units still need IP.

  3. 3

    Aim at TCP 5208

    Reboot and watch framed strings.

  4. 4

    Change fill level once

    Verify height moves in the decode.

  5. 5

    Photograph mounting height

    Install geometry explains odd empty/full deltas.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why group with seals in audits?

Both are non-ignition stories (tamper vs fill). Ports and grammars still differ.

UDP?

Stock Dingtek is TCP.
