Quick answers

Is Eseal just another vehicle GPS dialect?

No. It centres on seal tamper and lock events. Vehicle OBD and GT06 paths do not substitute.

Stock Traccar port?

TCP 5169.

Separate login packet?

The open decoder keeps identity inside each line; no distinct login handshake there.

Which events prove tamper?

Event-Door, Event-Shock, Event-Drop, Event-Lock, Event-RC-Unlock.

Full Traxelio command provisioning?

Not blanket. positions_only until the SKU’s arm/disarm path is accepted.

Eseal exists for padlocks and container seals that must prove a door moved or a shock hit the box. Traccar listens on TCP 5169 with a line-based ASCII decoder (EsealProtocolDecoder) that pulls customer id, firmware, message type, index, date/time, interval, fix flag, lat/lon, course, speed, door state, acceleration, NFC, battery, and RSSI from one CRLF sentence.

Seal events that matter

Decoded labels include Event-Door, Event-Shock, Event-Drop, Event-Lock, Event-RC-Unlock, plus lifecycle markers Startup, Normal, Button-Normal, and Termination. A map pin without those labels is not a seal audit trail.

Arm / disarm note

The Traccar protocol class advertises custom, alarm-arm, and alarm-disarm data commands. Traxelio still catalogues Eseal as positions_only until a given seal SKU’s command path is reviewed — vendor NFC/SMS unlock tools often finish the field job.

Server aim

Aim the seal firmware at your hostname and TCP 5169. Prove a Startup or Normal line before chasing missing door events. Do not park seals on Motor’s 5202 listener: same “line TCP” idea, different grammar.

Setup walkthrough

  1. 1

    Identify a seal, not a hardwired truck box

    Padlock/seal hardware with door or NFC sensors stays on Eseal. GT06 SMS sheets belong elsewhere.

  2. 2

    Write hostname + TCP 5169

    Vendor tool or SMS sheet → save → power-cycle the seal.

  3. 3

    Wait for Startup or Normal

    No lifecycle line usually means APN/DNS/port — not “bad GPS chips.”

  4. 4

    Force one supervised door open

    Confirm Event-Door (or Event-RC-Unlock) with battery and RSSI present.

  5. 5

    Only then poke arm/disarm

    Treat command tests as SKU-specific after positions and tamper events already decode.

Common troubleshooting

Map updates but never door/shock

Wrong listener or event reporting disabled. Inspect raw lines for Event-* labels; Normal-only heartbeats need tamper flags re-enabled in the vendor tool.

Remote unlock times out

GPRS may be down, or the TCP command dialect is unapproved for that SKU. Fall back to vendor NFC/SMS unlock while reviewing the packet.

Battery stuck at zero

Some firmwares omit battery until the first valid fix. Charge-cycle if a valid-fix Normal line still shows empty battery.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why publish Eseal while support is positions_only?

Seal SKUs already appear in BYOD intakes. Naming 5169 and the Event-* vocabulary stops seals from being mis-bound to truck-tracker ports.

Public grammar source?

Partner PDFs are often gated. Traccar’s EsealProtocolDecoder is the practical open field-order reference.

Share 5169 with Motor?

No. Motor stock port is 5202 with a different decoder.

UDP variant?

Stock Eseal in Traccar is TCP-only.
