Connect your tracker

Enter the tracker IMEI first, then verify your email and continue setup.

Quick answers

Stock Traccar port?

TCP 5227.

Header byte?

Binary 0x7E.

ACK mark?

Response carries 0xE0 after length.

Flexible Report on Traccar TCP 5227 is a binary dialect. FlexibleReportProtocolDecoder reads a 0x7E header, flags, an 8-byte IMEI hex dump (leading nibble stripped), sequence index, a custom timestamp encoding, event, then type MSG_GENERAL (0x00). When flags request ACK, the server replies with 0x7E0xE0 and 0x4F/0x0F.

Binary 0x7E — not Flex Comm ASCII 7E

Do not confuse with Flex Comm on 5142 (ASCII characters 7E) or Gator on 5052 (0x2424 header). Flexible Report’s identity is binary 0x7E + 0xE0 ACK + MSG_GENERAL.

Catalogue stance

Stock Traccar reference only. Traxelio lists Flexible Report as positions_only.

Setup walkthrough

  1. 1

    Confirm binary 0x7E

    First byte must be 0x7E in a hex capture — not ASCII 7E text.

  2. 2

    Aim host at TCP 5227

    Save APN server hostname/IP and port 5227; reboot.

  3. 3

    Send MSG_GENERAL

    Type byte 0x00 after event/length is the general position path.

  4. 4

    Watch for 0xE0 ACK

    If flags request reply, expect 0xE0 acknowledgement from the listener.

Common troubleshooting

ASCII 7E on this port

Flex Comm text will not decode as binary Flexible Report. Use 5142 for ASCII.

No ACK, device retries

Check flags bits that request ACK; silent drop usually means IMEI session missing.
