KHD - KC200 Configuration

This page covers the public configuration context for using the KHD KC200 GNSS tracker with Plaspy. It collects the practical, platform-level settings you need to point your device to Plaspy and describes the common setup workflow used by installers and integrators. Use this page as a reference for server settings and general steps; manufacturer tools and exact commands vary by firmware and vendor tools.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol. Exact manufacturer-side setup steps can vary depending on firmware version, hardware revision, installation type, and the vendor configuration tools being used. The guidance below focuses on the public Plaspy endpoint and the practical process of applying those values to the KC200 so the device can report location and events to the platform.

Configuration Overview​

The goal of this configuration is to prepare the KC200 for reliable communication with the Plaspy backend so that vehicle and ship locations, alerts, and event data appear in your Plaspy account. You will point the device at the Plaspy server, confirm transport options, and validate that the tracker reports as expected.

  • Assign the KC200 the Plaspy server endpoint so network traffic reaches the platform.
  • Configure the transport (UDP or TCP) and the shared Plaspy port so the device can open a session.
  • Verify that the device can register with the mobile network and send GPRS or SMS messages as configured.
  • Validate live reporting and common events such as alerts and geo-fence notifications in Plaspy.
  • Confirm that the device appears in Plaspy and that telemetry is parsed by the platform.

Plaspy Server Settings​

Use the following public Plaspy server settings when configuring the KHD KC200:

  • Server domain d.plaspy.com
  • Server IP 54.85.159.138
  • Port 8888
  • Transport support for UDP or TCP (the device may be configured using UDP or TCP on port 8888)
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol and uses the same port for all supported devices

Always enter either the domain or the IP address as supported by your configuration tool. Plaspy accepts both and will detect the incoming protocol automatically on the shared port.

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • A powered and accessible KC200 unit with the manufacturer configuration interface available
  • An active SIM card and mobile data connectivity if you plan to use GPRS/GSM reporting
  • Access to KHD configuration tools or the vendor installation manual for the KC200
  • Credentials or access to any SMS based setup method if you use SMS commands for initial configuration
  • A means to monitor device messages or server logs while validating the connection to Plaspy

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The KC200 sends position and event data to the Plaspy backend so the platform can display location, alerts, and operational status. When configured correctly, the tracker reports to the shared Plaspy endpoint and port where Plaspy parses the incoming protocol automatically.

  • The tracker is configured to report to the Plaspy server endpoint (d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138) on port 8888
  • Choose UDP or TCP transport on the device if a transport selection is required; Plaspy accepts both on the same port
  • Location updates, alerts, and geo-fence events are forwarded from the device to the Plaspy platform for visibility
  • SMS can be used where supported by the device for configuration or as a fallback reporting method depending on your installation
  • Once the device properly reports to Plaspy, it becomes visible within the Plaspy platform for tracking and monitoring

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official KHD KC200 configuration method or software provided by the manufacturer or vendor.
  2. In the device server settings, enter the Plaspy endpoint using either d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138.
  3. Set the device port to 8888 (Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices).
  4. Choose UDP or TCP on the tracker if the device requires a transport selection.
  5. Apply or save the configuration within the manufacturer tool or via the device SMS commands.
  6. Restart the KC200 if the manufacturer documentation recommends a reboot after applying settings.
  7. Validate that the device reports successfully to Plaspy and appears in the platform with expected telemetry and events.

Example Configuration Commands​

The exact commands and syntax vary by KC200 firmware and the configuration method used (PC software, web interface, or SMS). Because manufacturer tools differ, consult the KHD configuration guide for KC200-specific command formats. Plaspy accepts connections pointed at d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 on port 8888 over UDP or TCP, and you should use the manufacturer-recommended commands to set these values.

If you have a vendor-provided SMS command set or configuration script for the KC200, follow that syntax to set the server domain/IP and port. For example, many KHD-family devices use SMS or configuration tool commands such as (example placeholder only — confirm exact syntax with KHD):

  • Set server domain or IP (placeholder example) 
    SERVER,d.plaspy.com,8888
  • Select transport if required (placeholder example) 
    TRANSPORT,UDP

Note: The examples above are illustrative placeholders. Use KHD's official documentation or your vendor tool to obtain the exact commands for your device and firmware.

Configuration Notes​

  • Firmware differences and hardware revisions can change command syntax and available transport options; verify the KC200 firmware level before applying commands.
  • Some installations use SMS-based configuration while others use a PC tool or mobile app; follow the method provided by your vendor.
  • Choose UDP or TCP according to installer preference and local network behavior; Plaspy accepts both on port 8888.
  • Confirm APN and mobile data settings for the installed SIM if the KC200 uses GPRS/GSM to reach the Plaspy server.
  • Keep a record of any manufacturer-specific steps and test reporting immediately after applying settings to avoid downtime.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Using the KC200 with Plaspy gives organizations a straightforward path to integrate GNSS tracking data into a managed platform. By pointing the device to Plaspy's shared server endpoint and using the common port, you reduce configuration complexity and allow Plaspy to automatically detect and parse the device's protocol. This simplifies onboarding multiple devices and supports consistent visibility across vehicles or vessels.
