AOVX - VL350 Configuration

This page covers the public configuration context for using the AOVX VL350 with Plaspy. It focuses on the shared Plaspy server endpoint, the connection workflow, and the public setup commands that are available for this model.

The VL350 is a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker designed for vehicle and trailer tracking where reliable connectivity and persistent location reporting matter. Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol, while the exact manufacturer-side setup steps can vary depending on firmware, hardware revision, installation type, and vendor tools.

Configuration Overview​

The VL350 must be prepared so it can send tracking data to the Plaspy platform using the shared server endpoint and port used by supported devices. The goal of the configuration process is to point the tracker to Plaspy, confirm that it is online, and make sure it can report location and status data consistently.

  • Configure the tracker to use the Plaspy server endpoint for data transmission.
  • Set the correct port so the device can reach the shared Plaspy listener.
  • Select the transport mode required by the device when UDP or TCP is available.
  • Apply the public APN and GPRS-related settings required by the carrier and the tracker firmware.
  • Verify the current configuration after saving changes so the device can be checked before deployment.
  • Confirm that the tracker starts reporting into Plaspy after the setup is complete.

Plaspy Server Settings​

Use the following public Plaspy connection settings for the VL350:

  • Server domain d.plaspy.com
  • Server IP 54.85.159.138
  • Port 8888
  • Transport support for UDP or TCP on port 8888
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol
  • All devices in Plaspy use the same port

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

Before configuring the VL350, make sure the device is ready for installation and able to communicate with its carrier network.

  • Confirm the tracker has power and is ready for configuration.
  • Make sure you can access the official AOVX configuration method or software.
  • Verify that the carrier access settings required by the device are available.
  • Have the Plaspy server details ready before sending configuration commands.
  • Check that the tracker is installed or staged in a location where you can validate reporting.
  • Review the latest manufacturer guidance if the firmware or model revision differs from your deployment.

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The VL350 connects by sending its tracking data to the shared Plaspy server endpoint on port 8888. Once the device is configured, Plaspy receives the tracker’s messages and automatically detects the protocol so the device can be identified without requiring separate per-model server ports.

  • The tracker is pointed to d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 for reporting.
  • Communication is sent through port 8888, which is the shared Plaspy port for supported devices.
  • UDP or TCP can be used if the device firmware requires a transport choice.
  • After connection, Plaspy can receive location updates and device status information from the tracker.
  • The platform can then show the unit in monitoring views for ongoing operational visibility.
  • If the device stops reporting, the same public settings can be reviewed as part of the troubleshooting workflow.

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Open the official AOVX configuration method or software used for the VL350.
  2. Enter the carrier access details required by the tracker, including the APN values if the device setup prompts for them.
  3. Set the GPRS server address to d.plaspy.com or, if needed, use the IP address 54.85.159.138.
  4. Configure port 8888, which is the shared Plaspy port for supported devices.
  5. Choose UDP or TCP if the tracker asks for a transport mode during server setup.
  6. Save or apply the configuration changes in the manufacturer tool or SMS workflow.
  7. Restart the device if the configuration process requires it.
  8. Validate that the tracker begins reporting to Plaspy and that it appears online in the platform.

Example Configuration Commands​

The VL350 public configuration flow includes SMS-based commands for setup and verification. The placeholders in the APN command represent carrier-specific values.

  • {{apn}} is the APN name required by the mobile carrier
  • {{apnu}} is the optional APN username
  • {{apnp}} is the optional APN password

APN setup:

APN,{{apn}},{{apnu}},{{apnp}}#

If the carrier does not require a username and password, the device documentation may allow the APN command to be used with only the APN name, depending on firmware support.

Plaspy server setup:

SERVER,1,d.plaspy.com,8888,0#

This command points the tracker to the Plaspy server domain and shared port. The final value is part of the public command format provided for this device.

Update interval setup:

TIMER,60,60#

This command sets the reporting interval used by the tracker.

Enable GPRS mode:

GPRSON,1#

This command switches the device into GPRS mode so it can communicate with the server.

Check configuration:

PARAM#

Use this command to confirm the stored settings.

Check tracker status:

STATUS#

Use this command to review the current device status after configuration.

Configuration Notes​

  • Public configuration methods may differ slightly across firmware versions and manufacturer tools.
  • The VL350 can be configured with SMS commands, but installers may also rely on the official AOVX software or device utility when available.
  • UDP or TCP selection should follow the device prompts and the manufacturer documentation for the current firmware release.
  • Plaspy uses the same port for supported devices, so the server-side setup remains consistent across deployments.
  • For best results, confirm the tracker is saving the intended settings before placing it into service.
  • Manufacturer documentation should be reviewed for the latest device-specific behavior and any model revision differences.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Using the AOVX VL350 with Plaspy provides a practical way to centralize tracking, visibility, and operational monitoring for vehicles and trailers. Once the tracker is pointed to the shared Plaspy endpoint and port, the platform can receive its updates and present them in a consistent fleet management workflow.
