Point this protocol at Traxelio

Point Megastek at Traxelio

  1. 1

    Capture a Megastek fingerprint

    Confirm $MGV plus IMEI, or $GPRMC plus imei: / Battery=. Reject a $$ capture as Meitrack.

  2. 2

    Point Megastek at 5024

    Configure only Megastek to TCP 5024. Megastek on 5024 is not Meitrack on 5020 or Hunter PRO on 5116.

  3. 3

    Do not wait for an ACK

    Megastek has no reply byte. A parsed A-status sentence is enough.

  4. 4

    Prove one Megastek fix

    Send one $MGV or $GPRMC whose status is A on 5024 and verify a map point.

gps.traxelio.com:5024 TCP

Replace {password} with the tracker PIN or password.

Guided setup available

Switch to GPRS

FACID,{password},GPRS,Mode=1;

Set reporting interval

FACID,{password},LOC,I=60,T=999;

APN commands depend on the carrier SIM in your tracker, so they are not shown here.

Still offline after GPS lock

Megastek still not landing

Megastek aimed at the wrong port

Megastek on 5024 is not Meitrack $$ on 5020 or Hunter PRO >id<$GPRMC on 5116.

Session up, empty map

Status must be A. A V status binds the IMEI and will not plot. Flag S is archive, not a live skip.

No ACK, assumed dead

This dialect has no reply byte. Check the map, not the socket for an ACK.
