Quick answers

Stock Traccar port?

TCP 5187.

Data type?

MSG_DATA 0x01.

ACK header?

0xAB.

Minifinder2 on Traccar TCP 5187 is keyed binary. Minifinder2ProtocolDecoder reads header/flags/length/checksum/index/type — MSG_DATA (0x01), configuration 0x02, services 0x03, system 0x04, firmware 0x7E, response 0x7F — then per-key TLVs (0x01/0x02/0x14…). Server replies lead with 0xAB.

0xAB/0x01 on 5187 — not classic minifinder

Do not confuse with the filled classic minifinder page. Minifinder2’s identity is the MSG_DATA 0x01 + 0xAB ACK dialect on 5187.

Catalogue stance

Stock Traccar reference only. Traxelio lists Minifinder2 as positions_only.
