AOVX - AM300 Protocol

This page describes the public protocol context for using the AOVX AM300 with Plaspy. The AM300 is an industrial-grade GPS tracker designed for long-term asset deployments, and this documentation focuses on how it communicates in a way that supports tracking, telemetry, and event reporting inside Plaspy.

Plaspy uses shared connection settings across supported devices, so the same service endpoint and port are used for all compatible trackers. In practice, Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol after the device connects. Exact behavior can still vary depending on firmware version, hardware revision, and the manufacturer implementation, so it is always a good idea to confirm the latest device details with official AOVX documentation.

Protocol Overview​

The AM300 communication protocol defines how the tracker identifies itself and sends location or event information to Plaspy. At a practical level, this is what allows the device to report usable tracking data, alarm events, and status updates through a consistent connection flow.

  • Enables the AM300 to transmit tracking data to Plaspy
  • Supports identification of the tracker once it connects to the platform
  • Carries location and telemetry information in a form Plaspy can process
  • Helps associate device events with monitoring, alerts, and history in Plaspy
  • Supports the operational exchange needed for long-term asset tracking
  • Works as part of the device communication layer rather than a user-facing feature

How Plaspy Detects the Protocol​

Plaspy is designed to receive tracker connections on a shared endpoint and identify the device protocol automatically. For the AM300, this means users usually do not need to choose a protocol manually inside Plaspy when the tracker is correctly configured to report to the Plaspy connection settings.

  • Plaspy listens on the shared device endpoint for supported trackers
  • The platform uses the same port for all supported devices
  • Protocol detection happens automatically after the tracker connects
  • Manual protocol selection is typically not required when the device is configured correctly
  • Proper network and device settings help ensure a successful first connection
  • Automatic detection simplifies setup across mixed device deployments

Transport and Connection Context​

The AM300 may be configured to communicate with Plaspy over UDP or TCP on port 8888, depending on the device capabilities and the selected configuration. Devices can point to the Plaspy domain d.plaspy.com or the server IP 54.85.159.138 as part of their connection setup.

  • Use d.plaspy.com as the public Plaspy server domain
  • Use 54.85.159.138 as the Plaspy server IP when direct addressing is needed
  • Configure the device to connect on port 8888
  • UDP or TCP may be used based on device support and deployment preferences
  • All devices in Plaspy use the same port for consistency
  • Correct transport settings help the tracker reach Plaspy reliably

Protocol Compatibility Notes​

  • Compatibility can vary with firmware version and hardware revision
  • The manufacturer may adjust device behavior across production batches
  • Transport choice should match the device configuration available on the tracker
  • Network conditions can affect how consistently the device reports data
  • Validating against the latest AOVX documentation is recommended before deployment
  • Plaspy compatibility should be confirmed in the context of the specific device configuration in use

Why Protocol Understanding Matters​

Understanding the communication protocol helps ensure the AM300 is configured correctly and can report into Plaspy without unnecessary troubleshooting. For asset tracking programs, getting the protocol and connection settings right is often the difference between reliable visibility and intermittent data flow.

  • Supports faster and more accurate device setup
  • Reduces connection issues during commissioning
  • Helps users verify that the tracker is reporting through the correct endpoint
  • Improves troubleshooting when data is delayed or missing
  • Contributes to more reliable long-term monitoring in Plaspy
  • Makes it easier to maintain consistent performance across a device fleet

Why Use Plaspy with This Protocol​

Using the AM300 with Plaspy gives organizations a practical way to centralize asset visibility, monitor movement and events, and maintain operational oversight across distributed deployments. The tracker’s long-term deployment focus aligns well with Plaspy’s fleet and asset monitoring approach, especially where reliable reporting and event awareness are important.

For teams managing remote equipment, mixed indoor and outdoor assets, or anti-theft workflows, the protocol connection to Plaspy provides a straightforward path to collecting useful tracking data in one platform.
