H02 Protocol (Sinotrack / Cantrack family)

ASCII TCP uplink used by Sinotrack, Cantrack, and Secumore on gps.traxelio.com port 5013. Position rows are *HQ,...# hash-delimited sentences, the cousin of GPS103. Point the tracker here, confirm the IMEI, then Traxelio decodes the stream.

Connect your tracker

Enter your tracker IMEI to see whether Traxelio recognizes the model before you start setup.

Point H02 at Traxelio

  1. 1

    Insert SIM with data plan + airtime

    H02 devices have no UI to surface APN failures · test the SIM in a phone first.

  2. 2

    Set the APN

    Send apn,your_carrier_apn# to the device's SIM. APN must be set before any TCP attempt.

  3. 3

    Point the device at your server

    Send server,0,your-server.com,5013,0# (Sinotrack syntax). Vendor variants: Cantrack uses similar; Secumore uses setserver. Check the model's command sheet.

  4. 4

    Force TCP-only mode

    Send mode,1# (Sinotrack) to prevent UDP keep-alive garbage on the TCP listener. Some H02 firmware mixes them by default.

  5. 5

    Confirm first position arrives

    After GPS lock, confirm the first decoded position in Traxelio. The V flag in the position packet means GPS data invalid (weak antenna) · A means valid.

What Traxelio surfaces from these packets

H02 fields Traxelio reads

  • GPS Location
  • Speed

  • Engine Hours
  • Battery Level

Still offline after GPS lock

H02 still not landing

Device sends positions over TCP, then occasionally garbled bytes appear

Some H02 firmware variants mix UDP and TCP modes on the same connection (legacy firmware bug). Check the device's mode setting · force TCP-only with mode,1# (Sinotrack) or vendor-equivalent. The UDP keep-alives can appear as garbage on a TCP-only listener.

FAQ

H02 leftover questions

What's the BR00 message type?

BR00 is an extended binary record some H02 devices use for higher-frequency position bursts (1-second intervals during alarm events, for example). It piggybacks on the same connection as V1 ASCII records. Traxelio decodes both transparently · the dashboard doesn't surface the difference.
