How to read a status
Each cell of the matrix holds one of four statuses. Tracom sets a status only after it has checked the pairing. Until then the cell reads to be confirmed, even for common methods.
| Status | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Confirmed by Tracom | Tracom has checked this device on this platform and published the values. | Use the values and note the date. |
| To be confirmed by Tracom | Tracom has not checked or published this pairing yet. | Ask Tracom before you plan. Do not assume support. |
| Not supported | Tracom has confirmed that this pairing does not work. | Choose another platform. |
| Not listed | The platform is not on the list. | Use the Your platform tab. |
Integration methods in the matrix
This table is the shipped list. It names ways to receive device data, not platforms. Tracom staff update it as pairings are checked, and the tool reads the same list.
| Integration method | Tracom ST100 | Tracom M1N |
|---|---|---|
| Documented Tracom protocol | Confirmed | To be confirmed |
| JT808 protocol | To be confirmed | To be confirmed |
| HTTP push | To be confirmed | To be confirmed |
| MQTT push | To be confirmed | To be confirmed |
| API forwarding | To be confirmed | To be confirmed |
Tracom ST100 works with third-party tracking platforms through a documented protocol that Tracom shares with partners. Your platform team implements it, or uses the method Tracom confirms for your project. A row names a method, not a platform or an offer.
From device to platform
Data takes five hops. A connection fails at one of them, so the finder is organized around these points.
- Device. Powered, with a GNSS fix, holding the right ID and the right server values.
- SIM and APN. An active data plan and the APN your SIM provider gives.
- Mobile network. Signal at the vehicle and no block on the SIM.
- Server and port. A public address, an open port and the right protocol listening on it.
- Platform account. The device created with exactly the ID the device sends.
Values you need first
Collect these before you configure a device. The finder checks the ones marked as checked and leaves the rest to the people who own them.
| Value | Where it comes from | Checked here |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol name | Tracom, for your device and platform | No |
| Server address | Your platform account | Format |
| Port | Your platform, for the protocol Tracom names | Range |
| Device ID | The device label or screen | IMEI check digit |
| APN | Your SIM provider | No |
| Configuration command | The Tracom device document | Filled from your values |
Reference ports
The IANA registry assigns default ports to some transport protocols. They are a reference only. A port in this table says nothing about which protocol or port a Tracom device uses.
| Protocol | Default port | Status |
|---|---|---|
| MQTT | 1883 | Checked 3 Nov 2026 |
| MQTT over TLS (secure-mqtt) | 8883 | Checked 3 Nov 2026 |
Source, checked 3 November 2026: the IANA service name and port number registry. The private address ranges in the checks are from RFC 1918, and the IMEI check digit uses the Luhn formula named in GSMA TS.06.
Your platform and the Tracom protocol document set the real port. Check both before you open a port or send a command.
Check before you configure
The Connection check tab applies three plain rules. A pass means the value is well formed. It does not prove that a server is online or that the number belongs to your device.
- Server address. A DNS name, or an IPv4 address with four parts from 0 to 255. Private ranges such as 10.x.x.x and 192.168.x.x cannot be reached from a mobile network.
- Port. A whole number from 1 to 65535. Ports below 1024 are rarely used for tracking.
- Device ID. A 15-digit IMEI ends in a check digit worked out with the Luhn method, so one mistyped digit is caught.
Platform not listed
A platform that is not on the list is a request, not a dead end. Open the Your platform tab and describe it.
- Enter the platform name and its type.
- Add the protocol it accepts, if you know it.
- Pick the device and the number of units you plan.
- Copy the summary into your message on the contact page, or keep it with the report you request.
Assumptions and limits
- The matrix lists pairings, not product features. A confirmed status applies to the date shown. Ask Tracom whether a later update on either side changes it.
- Until Tracom confirms a pairing, it reads to be confirmed. This page names no third-party platform and does not claim that a Tracom device works with a specific one.
- The checks are format and number checks. The page never connects to a server.
- A Luhn pass does not prove the IMEI belongs to your device. Compare it with the device label.
- The matrix lists integration methods. Tracom does not list or recommend any third-party platform.
- Reference ports come from the IANA registry and are not Tracom values.
- Everything you type stays in your browser unless you ask for the report by email.
