Quick answers

Stock Traccar port?

TCP 5222.

Prefix?

&&

Coord order?

Longitude then latitude in content.

Startek on Traccar TCP 5222 is && framed CSV. StartekProtocolDecoder matches &&, index, length, IMEI, 3-hex type, content, checksum, \r\n. Position content parses event, A/V, longitude before latitude, satellites, HDOP, speed, course, altitude, odometer.

&& — not Starcom/StarLink

Do not confuse with Starcom |kv| or StarLink SLU. Startek’s identity is the &&…\r\n envelope on 5222.

Catalogue stance

Stock Traccar reference only. Traxelio lists Startek as positions_only.

Setup walkthrough

  1. 1

    Confirm &&\r\n capture

    ASCII must start with && and end with CRLF — not SLU.

  2. 2

    Aim host at TCP 5222

    Save APN server hostname/IP and port 5222; reboot.

  3. 3

    Send A-validity content

    Nested A with lon,lat proves the path.

  4. 4

    Keep type hex

    Three hex chars select the content parser.
