Autoseeker - AT-17F Configuration

This page documents the public configuration context for using the Autoseeker AT-17F tracker with Plaspy. It summarizes the shared server settings Plaspy requires and provides practical guidance so installers and integrators can prepare the AT-17F for reliable reporting into Plaspy. The content focuses on what is publicly available and how to apply Plaspy settings to the device using manufacturer tools.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol, but exact manufacturer-side setup steps can vary with firmware revision, hardware variant, installation type, and vendor configuration tools. Use this guide to apply the common Plaspy endpoint and verify connectivity, and always consult the Autoseeker documentation for device specific instructions.

Configuration Overview​

Configuring the AT-17F for Plaspy prepares the device to report location and event telemetry to the Plaspy platform so assets are visible, auditable, and alertable. The process centers on pointing the device at the Plaspy server endpoint, selecting a transport mode if required, and confirming that the device successfully delivers packets to the platform.

  • Set the device reporting endpoint to the Plaspy server so position and event data are delivered to the platform.
  • Choose the appropriate transport mode on the device if it requires selecting UDP or TCP.
  • Use the same Plaspy port that all supported devices share to avoid port mismatches.
  • Apply and save the device configuration using the official Autoseeker tool or supported methods such as web, USB, or SMS.
  • Validate reception in Plaspy so the asset appears and telemetry and alerts are active.

Plaspy Server Settings​

  • 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 and the platform uses the same port for all supported devices

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • Access to the official Autoseeker configuration method or software such as the web interface, USB tool, or SMS commands supported by the device.
  • Device powered and reachable for configuration, with any required batteries or charging connected.
  • A valid active SIM and network coverage if the device uses cellular connectivity, and any required APN settings available from your mobile operator.
  • A computer, USB cable, or the installer handset required for manufacturer setup tools, depending on the chosen configuration method.
  • Login or administration credentials for the device configuration tool if protected by a password.
  • Confirmation of the device firmware revision and any release notes that affect configuration parameters.

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The AT-17F is configured to report location fixes and telemetry to the shared Plaspy server endpoint and port so events and positions are ingested into Plaspy for monitoring and historical reporting. Plaspy receives the tracker messages and maps them to devices in the platform, applying the platform rules and alerting configured by the user.

  • The device sends periodic position packets to d.plaspy.com or to 54.85.159.138 using port 8888.
  • You may select UDP or TCP on the device when required; Plaspy accepts both transports on port 8888.
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol once packets arrive, so no separate protocol selection is needed in Plaspy.
  • Events such as geo fence crossings, tamper alerts, and low battery notices are forwarded to Plaspy when reporting is enabled.
  • Successful configuration allows real time and historical visibility of the AT-17F in the Plaspy dashboard.

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official Autoseeker configuration method or software recommended for the AT-17F (web portal, USB configuration tool, or SMS interface).
  2. In the device server or remote reporting settings enter d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 as the reporting endpoint.
  3. Set the reporting port to 8888 to match the Plaspy endpoint.
  4. If the device requires selecting a transport, choose UDP or TCP depending on your network preference.
  5. Apply or save the configuration on the device using the manufacturer tool.
  6. Restart the device if the tool or firmware requires a reboot for changes to take effect.
  7. Validate that the device reports to Plaspy by confirming the asset is visible in the platform and telemetry or test messages are received.

Example Configuration Commands​

The AT-17F supports configuration via the manufacturer web tool, USB programming, or SMS commands depending on firmware and installed options. Exact command syntax and available parameters depend on Autoseeker firmware and the configuration tool you use. When using manufacturer SMS or console commands, set the server to d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 and the port to 8888 and select the transport UDP or TCP if required.

Because Autoseeker publishes device specific command lists and SMS formats, refer to the official Autoseeker configuration guide for exact command templates and examples for the AT-17F. If your installation uses SMS commands, keep placeholders such as [apn] visible when the manufacturer template requires APN substitution and follow the vendor instructions for secure formatting.

Configuration Notes​

  • Firmware differences across AT-17F units can change parameter names, command formats, or required reboot behavior; record the device firmware version before making mass changes.
  • TCP versus UDP selection may affect delivery semantics on unreliable networks; Plaspy accepts both on port 8888 and will detect the protocol automatically.
  • When configuring APN or SIM parameters, use the operator supplied APN values and keep any placeholders provided by manufacturer templates intact.
  • Use the Autoseeker tools for configuration to ensure you are applying supported parameters and to avoid unsupported manual edits.
  • For deployments requiring extended battery life, prefer scheduled reporting intervals and motion based reporting as recommended by the manufacturer when configuring reporting parameters.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Using the Autoseeker AT-17F with Plaspy provides organizations reliable visibility for remote and unattended assets while leveraging Plaspy's unified server endpoint and automatic protocol detection. Pointing the AT-17F to Plaspy's shared server settings gives quick time to visibility in the platform and simplifies fleet onboarding by using the same port for all supported devices.
