Coban TK-103

eliphas,
please, send your device ID, we will check logs.

It's the only tracker on the account test12960758540, the imei is 353451040220624. It was pointed to wialon (TK103 port) in 17/01, from around 17:05GMT to 17:30GMT, then I changed to TK102 port and waited until around 17:50GMT.

The tracker is configured back to gpstrackerxy now, but I can change it back when it finishes the trip back here today.

I tried setting it as 102 too, changed the tracker type on the site and the port number on the tracker, tested about 15 minutes then changed it back. No messages received on the site...

Yes, I did change the adminip to 77.74.50.78 and port 20222 (tk-103) on the first try, on the second the port was 20157 (tk102).
I did the GPRS123456 and then check123456 to see if gprs status was on, it was.

The auto-track command would be t020s***n123456, but I didn't need to set it on the gpstrackerxy site. And I think this would only send SMS status messages, no? And even if the device is not sending status at a specified interval, it should "ping" the server, appearing as online in the map?

I thought that on GPRS mode the server itself would set the tracker interval - At least this is how it does on the gpstrackerxy site, I don't need to set auto-track by SMS, there is a "track" button there where I set the interval.

On another tought, looking back on the TK102 config page, it lists the auto-track command as required, and seems to need phone number both of the tracker (on the server) and the server (on the tracker, added by the adminsms command I think).

I have just ignored this config steps, as I really need to use GPRS-only tracking. SMS messages are really expensive here (about Us$0.2 each in a prepaid plan), whereas GPRS data (in the amounts needed to track the device) would be orders of magnitude cheaper (less than Us$10 for 50MB/month).

Edit: Looking at the sister gps-trace forum, another guy had problems on the same day, with a original TK-102. Maybe it was just a glitch on the matrix and today all is working fine? Don't know, will test it when the tracker gets back here.

eliphas, 9-18 GMT+02 (EET), support - 8-20.

But if you do not represent a company which is our customer, then, probably, your chances for support here are near zero, especially for this 100 types of firmware/protocol tracker (tk-103). Only GPS-Trace forum can help you.

But if you are our customer, then you may be 100% sure it will work with Wialon, after our engineer will look at it.

I am facing the same problem with my Coban TK-103A device. How to resolve it?

crabi
maybe your tracker sends speed in knots. we register speed parameter as km/h by default. Check it by conversion speed value from monitornig site to km/h. 1 knot = 1,852 km/h

Hi,

I configured my device as Xexun TK-102, but its still not recieiving and data. The logs are empty. Can someone please check it, my id is test12972567450 and i have only one device.

Regards,
Mukesh

Dear,

I am very interested in your software, we have evaluated some time and it seems perfect, the only drawback is that we continue to have the problem of speed, actual speed is less than the speed recorded in the system, know any way to solve this problem ?, to obtain an affirmative answer could contract the service quickly.

Greetings and thanks

Hello again guys,
I had a busy week and didn't find time to share my findings.
Anyway, I waited without feedback much more than actually trying to do something

The solution for my problem was really just doing everything again and again, then one time it worked (the basic positioning, at least) as the TK-102. I didn't even made tests with the tracker on a vehicle after that.

I just stopped using the Coban and am now testing the original Xexun TK-103-2 (as TK-102 too).

Along these weeks, I received many responses from other people in other forums, and most of them did exactly this, stopped trying to get the Coban work and jumped to other test tracker. We are now testing the TK-103-2... at least it worked fine right on the second try, as a TK-102.

Anyway, I can bet that this Coban GPS-103A I have sends the speed in KNOTS, too. I sniffed some data using the windows server that comes with the tracker and wireshark, before trying Wialon, and the difference was clear in high speeds. The windows server reported the correct velocity in km/h.

There is no setup on the tracker to change this to km/h, at least not in the manual I have.

It looks like that when sending the info via GPRS it sends the raw data it gets from the chip -- the speed of the Coban on my bench was 0.00 only half the time, the other half it was 0.05, 0.11, 0.03, etc... When sending by SMS, it converted and rounds this down to 0.0 km/h, so it is pre-processed when sending by SMS.

The Xexun always gives me 0.0 km/h from both SMS and GPRS when stopped, making me think that it always preprocess the NMEA info that the GPS module spits out.

crabi, yes, please give your user name for trial version.

crabi, please put units online.

Shal,

Ok I will test the system, apparently is working ok now.
Just a query, the change that you are done is for the unit I'm test or is something definite for any unit that I configure.

Regards

best regarts

I need devices very cheap and I was watching the brand Coban. Has anyone tried this brand?

I'm testing the following devices:

http://gurtam.com/en/gps_tracking/gps_h … t102_20558

I can see the tracker online and send commands. However I can´t add digital sensors, since I have no parameters in the area of sensors.

Is this normal? Issue is the firmware version?

I hope you can help me.

I was trying to configure Coban 103A in wialon and when tested in ID checker, I am getting the information like IP addres and port with name of tracker. When I redirect the IP address to wialon 193.193.165.165, it is showing online, but the vehicle is not appearing in the MAP.

Good luck

Greetings. Please I need a help I have a 103 Tracker Coban is sending each time and very often the message "Help me". Delete button, I made sure there is no contact between the cables and still continues ... there any messages that you send command to stop this spending message. ?? Thank you.!

ok, let me try to help you.

first: you need to have a simcard which is enabled for gprs. As i know in Somalia you should use "Hormuud Prepaid"

find out the APN and username/password from your simcard provider. Just call their serviceprovider and ask them for this information.

second: create in WIALON a new unit by going to cms.wialon.com, login with your demo credentials.
go to "units", click to "create new unit", enter a name, enter the IMEI number of your TK103 in field "unique id", choose GPS-103B as "device-type" and click to ok.

third: send following SMS to the phonenumber you put into the gps tracker: begin123456
device should answer with "begin ok".
send next sms with apn: apn123456 (name of the apn, for example apn123456 hormuud)
if your operator needs to set a username and password for gprs connections send following additional SMS:
send sms: up123456 username password (example up123456 gprs secret)

now you need to set the IP adress and port:
send sms with text "adminip123456 193.193.165.165 20558" (always without quotations!)

now you need to enable gprs:
send sms with text "gprs123456"

last is typicaly to set the update intervall how often device should send.
(ask coban for this command, i dont have it here)

by the way, device should always answer with some kind of OK.

Enjoy
Wolf.

P.S. did you read the documents on http://docs.gurtam.com?
very usefull.
you should start with http://docs.wialon.com/en/hosting/user/quick/quick

Thanks Orosgroup,

i think we should do some kind of collecting sms commands for popular devices somewhere here....

Wolf.

Thank you all friends i am very proud of you!! this is worked fine you helped me much on the mean time so now i have fixed two test devices in my wialon gurtam, so i have another problem and i expect the best solution from you, my problem is you know mechanical engineers in my country are big liars and corrupted and i don't know how to install the devices to the car electric system so is there any documentation or training which i can learn from it how to do the job with my own hands i will very grateful for you if you help me regarding this matter, i have launched telematics company inside Somalia where there is no rule and regulations, the electric engineers always doesn't fulfill the appointments+ they are very expensive in service and may not help you well next time you visit their garages.
sincerely yours.

Thank you so much Mr. wolf you are always helpful and honest

Hi,

wondering about the IP adress you programmed into unit. 193.193.165.167 seems to be the ID checker of Gurtam.

If you want to use Wialon, you must set device to 193.193.165.165
If you want to use Orange (gps-trace) you need to set it to 193.193.165.166 but support is in Orange forum!

Wolf.

I have the TK103B tracker .

I have purchased two extra key fobs but I am unable to sync them to the device .

The instructions tell me to push the SOS button 7 times continuously and the unit will beep once to tell me that it is learning mode .

It then tells me to push the lock and then unlock button.

My problem is that after 7 SOS  button pushes it is not beeping or suggesting that it is in learning mode .

Am i missing something or getting it all wrong.

Is there a way it can be put into learning mode via an SMS message and then back into normal mode  ?

Any suggestions will be gratefully received

Thanks

Neil

Hi there
I use some http://wialon.com/en/hardware/Device/GPS103-B devices. When device lost GSM/GPRS it save vehicle positions automatically on internal memory but when GSM/GPRS comes back it doesn't upload saved positions on memory automatically on the platform (Wialon), So i need to upload them manually or using Jobs. I want to create a command in Unit Properties to send upload command and use it as a Job. Based on manufacturer GPRS Protocol document for uploading stored positions in memory we have:

Server --> device
**,imei:359586018966098,116,20110418
load the tracking data of 18th April 2011 to monitoring platform.
device --> Server
imei:359586018966098,116,0809231929, ,F,055403.000,A,2233.1870,N,11354.3067,E,0.00,,;

So, We should send  [**,imei:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,116,Current Date]  to the device, Since we create each command in one device i think the IMEI is not a problem but about the Current Date how i should indicate it in command? let me to explain more, i want  when i run this command the system put the current date in command and run it and then i can able to use such command as a Job and run it every day, So Wialon will do which the device didn't basically :-)
Kindly please share your Majestic ideas ;-)

another think in my eyes with fixed task is, that you dont know if device is just online in this moment. Commands will be send only if device is online, if device is not online --> Kismet.

So you need to check with SDK if unit is online and than send coresponding task...

Wolf.

(p.s i would choose different HW ;-)
