AOVX - VX300 Configuration

This page covers the public configuration context for using the AOVX VX300 with Plaspy. It focuses on the shared Plaspy connection details, the general setup flow, and the practical steps commonly used to prepare the tracker for reporting into the platform.

Plaspy uses the same server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol. That means the main task is to point the VX300 to the Plaspy endpoint and confirm the device is ready to send data. Exact manufacturer-side setup steps can still vary depending on firmware, hardware revision, installation type, and the vendor tools used to apply the configuration.

Configuration Overview​

Configuring the VX300 for Plaspy is primarily about defining where the device should send its tracking data and confirming that the reporting path is active. The public configuration flow provided by the manufacturer uses SMS commands to set the network access point, server destination, reporting interval, and data mode before validating the device status.

  • Set the carrier access point information so the tracker can establish data connectivity.
  • Point the device to the Plaspy server domain or IP address.
  • Use the shared Plaspy port so the tracker reports to the correct endpoint.
  • Choose the transport mode supported by the device, either UDP or TCP on port 8888.
  • Apply the configuration and verify that the tracker is responding as expected.
  • Confirm that the device can report into Plaspy so location and status data become visible in the platform.

Plaspy Server Settings​

Use the following public Plaspy settings when configuring the AOVX VX300:

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

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

Before applying the configuration, make sure the tracker is ready for installation and that you have access to the manufacturer’s public setup method.

  • The device should be powered and physically installed according to the manufacturer’s guidance.
  • You should have access to the official configuration method or software used by AOVX for the VX300.
  • Carrier connectivity details should be available if the device requires network access settings.
  • The tracker should be ready to accept configuration commands or settings changes.
  • You should have the Plaspy server details available for entry during setup.
  • The installation should be complete enough to allow the device to restart and begin reporting after configuration.
  • Review the current manufacturer documentation before applying the final settings.

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The VX300 connects to Plaspy by sending its tracking and device messages to the shared Plaspy server endpoint on port 8888. Once configured, the tracker reports into Plaspy and the platform automatically identifies the protocol used by the device.

  • The tracker is directed to d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 as the reporting destination.
  • Traffic is sent through port 8888, which is the common port used across Plaspy supported devices.
  • The device can be configured to use UDP or TCP if the setup method requires a transport choice.
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol, reducing the need for manual protocol selection.
  • After configuration, the device should begin sending location and status data for visibility in Plaspy.
  • Operational monitoring becomes possible once the tracker is reporting consistently to the platform.

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Open the official AOVX configuration method or tool for the VX300.
  2. Enter the carrier APN details required for the device to establish data connectivity.
  3. Set the server to d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138.
  4. Configure the port as 8888.
  5. Select UDP or TCP if the device asks for a transport mode.
  6. Apply or save the configuration changes in the manufacturer tool or via the supported command method.
  7. Restart the device if the manufacturer workflow requires it.
  8. Validate that the tracker is reporting to Plaspy and that the device status appears correctly.

Example Configuration Commands​

The VX300 public setup flow uses SMS commands. The exact method may vary slightly by manufacturer tool or firmware, but the following commands represent the published configuration sequence.

  • Configure the carrier APN, using the placeholders provided by your mobile service:
APN,{{apn}}#

If your carrier requires a username and password, include them in the same command:

APN,{{apn}},{{apnu}},{{apnp}}#
  • Set the GPRS server to the Plaspy endpoint and shared port:
SERVER,1,d.plaspy.com,8888,0#
  • Set the update interval:
TIMER,60,60#
  • Switch the tracker to GPRS mode:
GPRSON,1#
  • Check the current configuration:
PARAM#
  • Check tracker status:
STATUS#

Configuration Notes​

  • The public setup flow uses SMS commands, so access to the device’s command-based configuration method is required.
  • Plaspy uses a shared port for supported devices, which simplifies deployment across mixed tracker models.
  • UDP and TCP support may depend on the device firmware or the manufacturer setup interface, so confirm the available transport option before saving.
  • The carrier APN placeholders in the command examples should be replaced with the actual values from the mobile network provider.
  • The exact response format and device behavior can vary by firmware version and installation workflow.
  • Always compare the final device settings with the latest AOVX documentation before deployment.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Using the VX300 with Plaspy gives organizations a practical way to centralize vehicle visibility, monitor device status, and manage fleet activity from a shared tracking platform. Once the tracker is pointed to the Plaspy server settings, the platform can automatically detect the tracker protocol and organize incoming data for operational use.

For teams managing multiple vehicles or mixed-device deployments, this configuration approach keeps the setup consistent by using the same Plaspy port across supported devices while still allowing the VX300 to report its own tracking data.
