1
Capture an RST fingerprint
Confirm a semicolon line that opens RST; and closes FIM; with a 9-digit serial.

Point RST at 5196
Configure only RST to UDP 5196. RST on 5196 is not Robotrack on 5163 or S168 on 5204.
-
3
Do not treat the type-6 reply as a fix
Traxelio answers RST;A;model;revision;serial;index;6;FIM;. That reply can leave before coordinates parse.
-
4
Prove one RST fix
Send one RST; line whose valid flag is 1 on 5196 and verify a map point.
Still offline after GPS lock
RST still not landing
- RST aimed at the wrong destination
RST on 5196 is not Robotrack on 5163 or S168 on 5204.
- Type-6 reply seen, empty map
The RST;A;...;6;FIM; reply is not a plot. Valid flag must be 1 with lat/lon.
- Session up, empty map
Valid flag 0 binds the serial and will not plot. Type 134 stores a result on the last fix only.
FAQ
RST leftover questions
Does RST send Concox 0x7878 frames?
No. RST wraps a semicolon line that opens RST; and closes FIM;. Concox families use 0x7878 binary login.
Which valid flag plots an RST fix?
1 plots. 0 binds the serial and will not plot.
Does RST send an ACK?
Yes. Traxelio answers RST;A; plus model, revision, serial, index, type 6, and FIM;. That reply is not a map point.
Where is the RST serial?
The 9-digit field after model and revision, still inside the RST; ... FIM; line.
Can an RST unit run SMS setup or a controlled-action flow?
This dialect is positions only. There is no SMS family on this row.
