AOVX - GM100 Protocol

This page covers the public protocol context for using the AOVX GM100 with Plaspy. It is intended to help users understand how the tracker communicates with the platform, what the protocol means in practice, and why correct device reporting is essential for reliable monitoring.

The GM100 is a Plaspy compatible ultra-thin goods tracker designed for discreet shipment visibility and condition monitoring. Because Plaspy works with many tracker models through a shared connection model, the same endpoint can be used across supported devices while Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol once the device connects.

Protocol Overview​

The protocol defines how the GM100 sends tracking and telemetry information so Plaspy can receive and interpret it as usable device data. In practical terms, it is the communication layer that allows the tracker to identify itself, report its status, and deliver location and event updates to the platform.

  • Enables the GM100 to transmit position and status data to Plaspy in a format the platform can understand
  • Supports the device communication needed for location reporting and operational visibility
  • Helps Plaspy associate incoming messages with the correct tracker record
  • Carries telemetry that may include shipment condition and alert information when supported by the device
  • Forms the basis for reliable tracking behavior across different deployment scenarios

How Plaspy Detects the Protocol​

Plaspy uses a shared server endpoint and a common port for supported devices, then automatically detects the tracker protocol after the device connects. This means the user usually does not need to choose a specific protocol inside Plaspy if the GM100 is configured correctly and pointing to the Plaspy service.

  • The tracker connects to the Plaspy endpoint and sends its reporting data
  • Plaspy identifies the device protocol automatically when the connection is received
  • A single port is used for all supported devices in Plaspy
  • Manual protocol selection is typically unnecessary when the tracker is properly configured
  • Correct device registration and network settings help ensure successful detection

Transport and Connection Context​

For connection setup, the GM100 may be configured to communicate with Plaspy over UDP or TCP on port 8888, depending on device support and the selected network behavior. The tracker can point to the Plaspy domain d.plaspy.com or use the Plaspy server IP 54.85.159.138.

  • Plaspy connection traffic uses port 8888 for supported devices
  • UDP or TCP may be used depending on how the tracker is configured
  • The Plaspy server domain is d.plaspy.com
  • The Plaspy server IP is 54.85.159.138
  • Connection settings should match the network mode supported by the tracker and the deployment environment

Protocol Compatibility Notes​

  • Firmware revisions may affect how the GM100 reports data or handles network communication
  • Hardware differences can influence available features and protocol behavior
  • Manufacturer implementation details may vary across device batches or regional variants
  • UDP and TCP configuration should be validated against the device setup and network requirements
  • The latest official manufacturer documentation should always be checked for device-specific protocol guidance
  • If behavior differs from expectations, verify the tracker configuration before adjusting the Plaspy setup

Why Protocol Understanding Matters​

Understanding the communication protocol helps ensure the GM100 is set up correctly and sends data to Plaspy in a way that supports dependable tracking. It also makes troubleshooting easier when a device is not appearing online, reporting intermittently, or not delivering the expected telemetry.

  • Helps confirm that the tracker is pointed to the correct Plaspy endpoint
  • Reduces setup issues caused by mismatched transport or reporting settings
  • Improves troubleshooting when location or event data is delayed
  • Supports more reliable long-term monitoring in Plaspy
  • Makes it easier to validate compatibility after firmware or configuration changes

Why Use Plaspy with This Protocol​

When the GM100 is connected through its tracker protocol, Plaspy provides a centralized environment for shipment visibility, alerting, and historical review. That makes it easier for logistics teams to monitor goods in transit, watch for condition changes, and respond quickly to tamper or low battery events without adding operational complexity.

For organizations managing packages, pallets, and other movable assets, Plaspy helps turn tracker communication into practical oversight.
