LK-GPS - LK300 Configuration

This page covers the public configuration context for using the LK-GPS LK300 tracker with Plaspy. It explains the shared Plaspy server settings you will point the device at, what to check before integration, and the practical workflow to bring location and basic telemetry into your Plaspy account. The guidance here is intended for technicians and integrators preparing the LK300 for centralized monitoring on Plaspy.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol, so the same Plaspy endpoint and port are used for LK300 devices. Exact manufacturer-side steps can vary by LK300 firmware, hardware revision, installation type, and the vendor configuration tools in use. Refer to this page for the public Plaspy settings and a safe configuration workflow, then confirm device specific commands and menus with LK-GPS documentation.

Configuration Overview​

Preparing the LK300 for Plaspy means configuring the device to send its GPS and status messages to the Plaspy server endpoint and validating that messages arrive and are parsed by the platform. The goal is reliable, periodic reporting of position and tamper events so the device becomes visible and manageable from Plaspy.

  • Point the LK300 to the Plaspy server domain or IP and set the shared port used by Plaspy.
  • Choose the transport mode the device supports (UDP or TCP) and configure it accordingly.
  • Use SMS or the manufacturer configuration tool to apply settings when network access is not available during installation.
  • Verify the device reports position and events into Plaspy and confirm the device appears in your account.
  • Confirm power, SIM service and signal quality at the installation site to ensure stable reporting.

Plaspy Server Settings​

Use these public Plaspy connection values when configuring the LK300. Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol.

  • Server domain d.plaspy.com
  • Server IP 54.85.159.138
  • Port 8888
  • Transport support: UDP or TCP (configure either if the LK300 requires a transport selection)
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol after the device connects

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • Confirm the LK300 is powered and installed according to manufacturer guidance.
  • Ensure the device has an active SIM card with data and SMS enabled if you will use SMS configuration.
  • Have access to the official LK-GPS configuration method or software for the LK300 (SMS commands, web tool, or vendor utility).
  • Know the Plaspy server endpoint you will use: d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 and port 8888.
  • Verify cellular signal quality at the installation location to avoid intermittent reporting.
  • Have a Plaspy account and the process ready to validate the device once it starts reporting.

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The LK300-2G transmits GPS location and device status over the cellular network to remote servers. When configured to the Plaspy endpoint and port, those messages are received by Plaspy and associated with your account for live tracking and alerts.

  • The tracker sends periodic position updates to the Plaspy server endpoint and port.
  • Tamper and vibration wake events are reported to Plaspy so alerts can be generated.
  • Battery status and basic telemetry are forwarded to Plaspy for operational monitoring.
  • SMS based parameter setting and query may be used to change server settings remotely when needed.
  • Once reporting is active, the device becomes visible in Plaspy for real time tracking and historical playback.

Common Configuration Workflow​

Follow a practical sequence when configuring the LK300 for Plaspy. Steps may vary slightly depending on the LK300 firmware and the vendor tools you use.

  1. Access the official LK-GPS configuration method or software for the LK300 (manufacturer web tool, vendor utility, or SMS parameter commands).
  2. Enter the Plaspy server domain d.plaspy.com or the server IP 54.85.159.138 in the device server/host field.
  3. Set the device port to 8888 (Plaspy uses the same port for all devices).
  4. Choose UDP or TCP if the LK300 requires a transport selection and the installation prefers one protocol.
  5. Apply or save the configuration in the device tool or send the SMS configuration commands if using SMS setup.
  6. Restart the LK300 if the manufacturer documentation requires a reboot for network settings to take effect.
  7. Validate that the tracker reports to Plaspy by confirming the device appears in your Plaspy account and that recent positions and events are visible.

Example Configuration Commands​

No manufacturer-specific commands are included here. Exact command syntax and configuration menus vary by LK300 firmware and the LK-GPS provided tools. In general, when using SMS parameter setting or a vendor utility you will provide the Plaspy server values shown above:

  • Server domain: d.plaspy.com
  • Server IP: 54.85.159.138
  • Port: 8888
  • Transport: UDP or TCP

If you are using SMS commands provided by LK-GPS, follow the syntax described in the LK300 manual and replace host and port placeholders with the Plaspy values above. If you need sample SMS syntax, consult the official LK-GPS documentation or your vendor to obtain the exact command format for your firmware.

Configuration Notes​

  • LK300 firmware versions and vendor configuration utilities can change command syntax and menu layouts; always cross check with the LK-GPS manual.
  • Choose UDP or TCP based on installer preference and network behavior; Plaspy accepts either and will auto detect the incoming protocol.
  • SMS based setup can be useful for field installs where a data connection is not present, but confirm SMS command support for your LK300 variant.
  • Because Plaspy uses a single shared port for all devices, you do not need unique port assignments for LK300 units when using Plaspy.
  • Verify cellular band compatibility and SIM data plan readiness before completing a large deployment.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Using the LK300 with Plaspy provides centralized visibility of location, tamper events, and basic telemetry so vehicle owners and fleet operators can monitor assets from a single platform. The LK300's compact form factor, vibration wake-up and SMS configuration support make it a practical choice for discreet installations where straightforward reporting into Plaspy is required.
