Carscop - CCTR-810 Configuration

This page documents the public configuration context for using the Carscop CCTR-810 tracker with Plaspy. It focuses on the settings and practical steps needed to point the device to Plaspy servers and to validate connectivity. The content below synthesizes the tracker description and the public SMS configuration commands that are commonly used with this model.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol, while exact manufacturer side setup steps can vary by firmware, hardware revision, installation style, and vendor tools. The CCTR-810 supports GPRS and SMS configuration and includes a default device password used in SMS commands, so this guide combines those public commands with the Plaspy server values to help you configure the device for online reporting.

Configuration Overview​

This configuration prepares a Carscop CCTR-810 to report position and status data to the Plaspy platform. The process typically sets the device APN and server endpoint, preserves connectivity behavior, and ensures the tracker reuploads buffered data after connectivity is restored.

  • Configure the device APN and optional APN credentials so the tracker has GPRS data access.
  • Point the tracker to the Plaspy server endpoint using the shared port used by all Plaspy devices.
  • Choose the network transport if required by the device, UDP or TCP, on port 8888.
  • Enable keepalive or online modes so the tracker maintains connectivity and reuploads stored points.
  • Verify the tracker reports to Plaspy and that recorded tracks appear on the platform.

Plaspy Server Settings​

  • 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

Note that Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices and that automatic protocol detection simplifies setup on the platform side.

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • A charged and installed SIM card with an active data plan and SMS capability for initial configuration.
  • Access to the tracker SMS command interface or the manufacturer configuration tool.
  • The device default password for SMS configuration if it has not been changed. The public sample uses 123456.
  • Knowledge of the operator APN and optional APN username and password to enable GPRS.
  • A basic test vehicle installation and power so the tracker can boot and register on the mobile network.
  • Access to Plaspy account or platform to confirm the device appears and reports after configuration.

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The CCTR-810 is configured to upload stored and live location data to Plaspy by pointing the device to the shared Plaspy server endpoint and port. Once configured with the correct APN and server details, the device uses GPRS to send position updates and events to Plaspy for visibility and monitoring.

  • The tracker sends location updates to the Plaspy server endpoint on port 8888.
  • The device can reupload buffered tracks when network connectivity is restored.
  • Event reporting such as stop upload, ACC off uploads, and alarms will arrive at the Plaspy endpoint for processing.
  • Plaspy receives device messages and automatically detects the protocol so platform configuration is minimal.
  • Transport can be UDP or TCP depending on device firmware and installer choice.

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official Carscop configuration method or SMS command interface supplied by the manufacturer.
  2. Ensure the tracker has power, a working SIM with data, and you know the APN details.
  3. Configure the APN and optional APN username and password on the device.
  4. Enter d.plaspy.com or the Plaspy server IP 54.85.159.138 into the device GPRS server setting.
  5. Set the port to 8888 and choose UDP or TCP if the device requires a transport selection.
  6. Apply or save the configuration and restart the device if required by the manufacturer.
  7. Validate that the tracker reports to Plaspy and that live positions or reuploaded history are visible in the platform.

Example Configuration Commands​

The Carscop CCTR-810 can be configured using SMS commands. The following public commands are provided in the manufacturer sample. The default device password in these examples is 123456. Use these commands in the order shown for initial setup when appropriate.

  • Optional initial factory reset when starting from unknown state
RESET*123456
  • Set the time zone to UTC 0
TIMEZONE*123456*+00
  • Set the operator APN
    • Replace [apn] with your mobile operator APN
APN*123456*[apn]
  • Set APN username and password if required
    • Replace [apnu] and [apnp] with your APN username and APN password
    • Send only if your operator requires username and password
USERNAME*123456*[apnu]*[apnp]
  • Set the GPRS server to the Plaspy server IP and port
    • This sets reporting to Plaspy using the public IP and port 8888
IP*123456*54.85.159.138,8888
  • Keep the tracker online so it maintains connectivity behavior
KEEPONLINE*123456

Notes on placeholders

  • [apn] is the mobile operator APN string required for GPRS.
  • [apnu] is the APN username when the operator requires one.
  • [apnp] is the APN password when the operator requires one.

If your installer prefers using the domain name instead of the IP and the device firmware supports it, enter d.plaspy.com in the IP or server field where allowed. Otherwise use the provided server IP and port.

Configuration Notes​

  • Firmware differences or hardware revisions can change exact SMS syntax or available commands. Verify the syntax against the device manual for your firmware.
  • The CCTR-810 supports SMS based configuration in public samples, which is useful for remote or field setups without direct PC tools.
  • Choose UDP or TCP according to installer preference and device firmware capabilities. Both work with Plaspy on port 8888.
  • KEEPONLINE or keepalive commands help the device maintain session behavior and reupload stored points when connectivity returns.
  • Always preserve the device password in SMS commands and change it only if your installation requires a new password and you document it.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Using the Carscop CCTR-810 with Plaspy gives organizations a straightforward way to collect vehicle location and event data for monitoring and operational oversight. The device's ability to record tracks offline and reupload when connected pairs well with Plaspy's automatic protocol detection and consistent server endpoint, enabling reliable data flow into the platform.
