Wialon IPS Protocol
TCP/UDP wire protocol published by Gurtam · the format most GPS trackers use to push positions, sensors, and events to a Wialon-compatible server (Wialon Hosting, Wialon Local, or Traxelio).

1
Identify your device's current server
Open your tracker's existing configurator (or check the SMS-command sheet for the model). Note the current server IP + port so you can roll back if anything goes wrong.
-
2
Point the device at your Wialon-IPS server
Set the destination to your platform's IP and port. Gurtam's reference port is
20332but Wialon IPS is port-flexible · use whatever your server listens on. Transport: TCP. The IMEI and SIM stay the same. -
3
Save and reboot the device
Most Wialon-IPS-compatible firmware applies the new server on the next boot. Some devices accept a remote
#REBOOT#command if you can't physically access the unit. -
4
Confirm first position arrives
After GPS lock, confirm the first decoded position in Traxelio. If nothing arrives in 5 min, check the device's raw log for outbound TCP attempts on the port · no attempts means the SIM's data session isn't open (APN, airtime, roaming block).

Wialon still not landing
- Device reports to Wialon Hosting but not to Traxelio after configurator change
Verify the server IP and port were actually written back to the device (some configurators silently keep a draft). Power-cycle the tracker, then check its raw log for an outbound TCP attempt on the new IP. If the attempt never leaves the device, the SIM probably has no data session · check airtime + APN before assuming a protocol issue.
- Wialon IPS device shows positions but no fuel/temperature sensor data
Sensor channels ride in the #D# (full data) packets, not #SD# (shortened). Some devices default to #SD# to save GPRS bytes. Re-enable full data in the configurator (Teltonika: Codec settings; Concox: extended mode; Queclink: AT+GTCFG sensor opcodes).
- Retranslator delivers stale data (~minutes behind live)
Expected. Retranslator is a server-to-server feed · it ships after the source platform has decoded, persisted, and queued the record. For live, point the device directly at Traxelio over Wialon IPS (cuts out the source platform's queue).
