Autoseeker - AT-10 Protocol
This page describes the public protocol context for using the Autoseeker AT-10 GPS tracker with Plaspy. It is intended to help fleet managers, integrators, and technical users understand how the AT-10 communicates with a remote tracking platform and what to consider when pointing this device at Plaspy for live tracking and alarm reporting.
The Autoseeker AT-10 is a 4G LTE enabled tracker designed for real time vehicle monitoring, trip history, mileage data, and a range of alarm reports such as SOS, geo fencing, ACC status, and power alarms. Plaspy uses shared connection settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol. Exact behavior can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, and manufacturer implementation, so this page focuses on public and practical protocol context rather than device internals.
Protocol Overview
The communication protocol for the AT-10 governs how the device reports location, status, and alarms to a remote server and how remote commands or acknowledgements are exchanged when supported. In practical terms the protocol enables the tracker to present usable telemetry and event data to Plaspy so location history, alerts, and operational monitoring work reliably.
- Enables periodic and event driven location reporting for real time fleet visibility
- Conveys alarm and input status like SOS alerts, ACC switch state, and external power loss
- Carries trip and mileage summaries used by Plaspy for route history and reporting
- Supports optional remote functions reported by the device such as cut off or towing alerts
- Provides identifiers and telemetry that Plaspy uses to associate messages with a tracked asset
How Plaspy Detects the Protocol
Plaspy receives incoming connections on a shared endpoint and port and will automatically identify the tracker protocol when the device is configured to report to the Plaspy endpoint. In most cases you do not need to manually select a protocol inside Plaspy if the AT-10 is configured correctly to send data to the platform.
- Plaspy listens on the public server domain d.plaspy.com for incoming device reports
- The Plaspy public server IP for device reporting is 54.85.159.138
- The service uses a single port for all devices which simplifies device configuration
- Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol when messages arrive at the shared endpoint
- Users typically only need to configure the device to point at d.plaspy.com or the server IP and confirm transport settings
Transport and Connection Context
AT-10 devices may be configured to use either UDP or TCP depending on the hardware version and firmware options available from the manufacturer. Successful integration requires configuring the device to send its reports to the Plaspy endpoint using the correct transport and host so the platform can receive and process telemetry.
- The device may be set to use UDP or TCP on port 8888 based on device support and configuration
- Devices can point to the Plaspy domain d.plaspy.com or directly to the server IP 54.85.159.138
- Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices which streamlines setup across models
- Network considerations such as carrier restrictions, APN configuration, and firewall rules can affect connectivity
- Confirm that the device reporting interval and event reporting settings match operational needs for battery life and data usage
Protocol Compatibility Notes
- Firmware revisions can change message timings and optional feature reporting so always note firmware version during validation
- Hardware revisions and antenna or radio module changes can alter network behavior even if the high level protocol remains similar
- Manufacturer configuration menus may expose transport selection between UDP and TCP which affects how the device should be configured to reach Plaspy
- Optional features such as remote cut off, SOS behavior, or towing detection may be conditional on accessories or regional firmware
- Plaspy detects the protocol automatically, but correct host and transport configuration on the device is required for detection to succeed
- Validate compatibility against the manufacturer documentation when enabling advanced commands or optional alarms
Why Protocol Understanding Matters
Understanding how the AT-10 communicates helps ensure reliable device registration, faster troubleshooting, and consistent data quality in Plaspy. Knowing the connection context and common variations reduces time to operation and helps maintain stable fleet tracking over time.
- Proper transport and host configuration ensures devices reliably reach the Plaspy endpoint
- Awareness of firmware and hardware differences helps troubleshoot missing events or inconsistent reporting
- Understanding alarm reporting patterns lets you tune notifications and monitoring thresholds in Plaspy
- Knowing which optional features are supported by your device build helps align expectations for remote control and safety functions
- Network and APN settings directly impact on device uptime and message delivery performance
Why Use Plaspy with This Protocol
Using the Autoseeker AT-10 with Plaspy provides a practical path to real time visibility, route history, and alarm management for vehicle fleets. The AT-10's focus on trip history, mileage reporting, and multiple safety alarms pairs well with Plaspy's unified intake and processing of device telemetry so organizations can monitor assets, respond to alerts, and analyze usage patterns.
