GOTOP - VT-340 Configuration

This page covers the public configuration context for using the GOTOP VT-340 tracker with Plaspy. It summarizes the network endpoint and practical setup steps that operators and installers typically use to point the VT-340 to Plaspy for real time tracking. The VT-340 supports SMS and GPRS reporting, and can be configured to send location updates and alerts to a remote platform.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol once the device reports to the platform. Manufacturer side configuration steps for the VT-340 can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, installation type, and vendor tools, so always confirm the exact commands or menu flow with GOTOP documentation or your provider before making changes.

Configuration Overview​

The goal of configuring the VT-340 for Plaspy is to prepare the device to communicate reliably with the Plaspy server endpoint, validate connectivity, and ensure that reports arrive in the platform for visibility and alerting. Use the device manufacturer tools or SMS commands provided by GOTOP to enter the server endpoint and transport settings, then verify reporting in Plaspy.

  • Point the VT-340 to the Plaspy server endpoint so GPS and event data are delivered to your Plaspy account
  • Choose the transport protocol supported by the device, UDP or TCP, and set the device to use it
  • Verify device connectivity and that GPRS or SMS services are active for remote reporting
  • Validate that location updates and alerts appear in Plaspy after configuration
  • Keep manufacturer firmware and configuration guides available for reference during setup

Plaspy Server Settings​

Use the following public Plaspy server settings when configuring the VT-340. Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices and it automatically detects the tracker protocol when the device connects.

  • 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 once the device reports to the server

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • A powered VT-340 with access to its configuration interface or SMS command set
  • An active SIM card with data enabled and a working APN if using GPRS reporting
  • Access to the official GOTOP configuration method such as SMS commands or manufacturer software
  • A label or note with the Plaspy server domain or IP and port so you can enter the values accurately
  • Basic familiarity with choosing UDP or TCP transport if the device requires a transport selection

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

When configured to use Plaspy, the VT-340 sends periodic or event driven reports to the shared Plaspy server endpoint on the platform port. Plaspy receives those messages, detects the protocol automatically, and makes the device visible in the platform for location tracking, alerts, and history playback.

  • The VT-340 transmits position and event reports to d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138
  • Reports use port 8888 which Plaspy uses for all supported devices
  • You may choose UDP or TCP transport depending on device options and network conditions
  • Plaspy performs automatic protocol detection to identify the tracker message format
  • Once reporting starts, location and alert data should appear in Plaspy for monitoring

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official GOTOP VT-340 configuration method such as the SMS command set or manufacturer configuration software
  2. Enter the Plaspy server domain d.plaspy.com or the server IP 54.85.159.138 when prompted for the server address
  3. Set the reporting port to 8888 which Plaspy uses for all devices
  4. Choose UDP or TCP transport if the VT-340 firmware requires a transport selection
  5. Configure APN and data settings on the SIM if using GPRS so the device can reach the internet
  6. Apply or save the configuration and restart the device if the firmware requires a reboot
  7. Validate that the VT-340 is reporting to Plaspy and that location updates appear on the platform

Example Configuration Commands​

The exact commands and syntax for the VT-340 depend on the firmware and the manufacturer provided SMS command set or software tool. The VT-340 commonly supports SMS configuration and GPRS settings via manufacturer commands, but those commands vary by version and vendor packaging. Consult GOTOP documentation for the exact SMS strings or configuration GUI used by your unit.

If you have been provided a list of public SMS commands or a manufacturer command sheet, include those commands here in the exact order required by the vendor. Because commands vary by firmware, Plaspy does not publish altered command sets here. Use the official GOTOP command list when performing configuration.

Configuration Notes​

  • Firmware and hardware revisions can change required command syntax and available menu items; confirm with GOTOP documentation for your device serial and firmware
  • Choose UDP for simpler, lower overhead reporting when supported; consider TCP if network reliability requires session acknowledgement
  • When using GPRS reporting, ensure the SIM APN is configured correctly in the device so it can open a data connection to d.plaspy.com
  • If SMS based setup is used, keep a record of the SMS commands and responses during initial provisioning for troubleshooting
  • Plaspy will accept connections on port 8888 for all supported devices and will attempt automatic protocol detection after the device begins sending data

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Configuring the GOTOP VT-340 to report to Plaspy gives operators a straightforward way to centralize vehicle and motorcycle tracking data. With Plaspy receiving the VT-340 reports, organizations gain consistent visibility into location, movement alerts, and event data in a single platform that handles protocol detection and standard server routing.
