Autoseeker - AT-12 Configuration
This page covers the public configuration context for using the Autoseeker AT-12 tracker with Plaspy. It explains the shared server settings you must point the device at and how the AT-12 typically communicates. Use this guidance to prepare the device for Plaspy integration while following any specific manufacturer instructions from Autoseeker.
Plaspy uses a shared server endpoint and port across supported trackers and automatically detects the tracker protocol used by each device. Exact manufacturer-side setup steps can vary by AT-12 firmware, hardware revision, installation type, and vendor tools, so verify device-specific procedures with the official Autoseeker documentation when needed.
Configuration Overview
The goal of configuration is to prepare the AT-12 to send location and status data to Plaspy so the device appears and updates correctly in the platform. This includes updating the device server settings, confirming transport, and validating connectivity.
- Configure the device to report to the Plaspy server endpoint and port.
- Select the transport mode the device requires, UDP or TCP, if prompted.
- Verify GPRS/SMS connectivity and any SIM settings required by the tracker.
- Save and apply settings, then restart or power cycle the device if required.
- Confirm the device is visible and reporting in Plaspy after configuration.
Plaspy Server Settings
Use the following public Plaspy settings when configuring the tracker server parameters:
- 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 so the same port is used for all devices
These values are the shared endpoint that the AT-12 should be configured to report to for Plaspy compatibility.
Typical Requirements Before Setup
- A powered AT-12 with sufficient battery or connected to vehicle power for configuration and testing.
- A valid SIM card activated for data or SMS as required by your installation and the AT-12 capabilities.
- Access to the official Autoseeker configuration method such as the manufacturer app, configuration software, or SMS command list.
- GPRS or cellular coverage at the device location to allow TCP or UDP connections to Plaspy.
- A way to monitor device messages or logs during testing and validation.
- The device firmware version and hardware revision noted so any firmware specific steps can be checked against Autoseeker resources.
How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy
When correctly configured, the AT-12 sends its position and status reports to the shared Plaspy server endpoint on the standard Plaspy port. Plaspy receives these messages and maps them to your account based on the device identifier and the automatically detected protocol.
- The tracker is configured to report to the Plaspy server domain or IP address and port.
- Messages are sent over the selected transport, UDP or TCP, to port 8888.
- Plaspy inspects incoming messages and determines the appropriate protocol automatically.
- Location updates and event reports become visible in Plaspy once the device is recognized.
- Regular reporting intervals and alarms are delivered to Plaspy according to the tracker settings.
Common Configuration Workflow
- Access the official Autoseeker configuration method or software recommended for the AT-12 (manufacturer app, web tool, or SMS commands).
- Locate the server or reporting settings section where primary server, secondary server, or remote server can be entered.
- Enter d.plaspy.com or the server IP 54.85.159.138 as the device server address.
- Set the port to 8888.
- Choose UDP or TCP as the transport option if the device requires selecting one.
- Apply or save the configuration and follow manufacturer instructions to commit the changes.
- Restart or power cycle the device if required by the AT-12 firmware.
- Validate that the device reports to Plaspy and appears in the platform with recent location updates.
Example Configuration Commands
The Autoseeker AT-12 supports multiple configuration methods and the exact commands or UI fields depend on the firmware and the vendor tool you use. Because manufacturer-specific commands and SMS formats vary, check Autoseeker resources for the command set applicable to your device.
If you are using an SMS-based configuration method provided by Autoseeker, follow the manufacturer SMS syntax exactly as documented. If you are using a configuration app or PC tool from Autoseeker, enter the server domain or IP and port as described in the workflow above. Plaspy will accept the device reports sent to d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 on port 8888 over UDP or TCP.
Configuration Notes
- Firmware and hardware revisions can change command formats and available settings; always verify against the AT-12 firmware notes.
- Choose UDP or TCP intentionally: some installations and carriers handle one transport more reliably than the other.
- SMS configuration is commonly supported on devices with SMS capability; consult Autoseeker SMS command documentation if you prefer that method.
- Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol, so devices can share the same backend endpoint.
- Keep a record of the device IMEI and any identifiers required by Plaspy when validating device visibility.
Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration
Using the Autoseeker AT-12 with Plaspy gives organizations a practical way to centralize vehicle location, status reporting, and event monitoring. The AT-12's quad-band GPRS capability and built-in features can deliver reliable coverage and reporting to Plaspy when the server settings and transport are configured correctly.
