LK-GPS - LK710 Configuration

This page covers the public configuration context for using the LK-GPS LK710 tracker with Plaspy. It summarizes the shared server settings and practical steps you will typically perform to point an LK710 at Plaspy for real-time tracking, telemetry and remote immobilizer control. Use this guide together with the LK-GPS documentation and your installer tools to complete the device setup.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol, while exact manufacturer-side setup steps can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, installation type and vendor tools. The LK710 supports GSM/GPRS and SMS based configuration and is designed for straightforward integration into cloud platforms such as Plaspy when configured to report to the platform server endpoint.

Configuration Overview​

This configuration process prepares the LK710 to communicate reliably with Plaspy so location updates, battery and status telemetry, and immobilizer events are visible in the Plaspy platform. The steps below focus on network endpoint configuration, transport selection, and basic validation that the tracker is reporting correctly.

  • Configure the device reporting endpoint to point at Plaspy so the unit sends GPS and telemetry to the platform.
  • Select the transport protocol the device supports and set the device to use port 8888 to match Plaspy settings.
  • Validate cellular connectivity and data session so the tracker can reach the Plaspy server endpoint.
  • Save and apply settings on the tracker, then verify the device appears in Plaspy and is sending periodic updates.
  • Use SMS or the manufacturer tool as an alternate channel for status checks when GPRS is unavailable.

Plaspy Server Settings​

When configuring the LK710 for use with Plaspy, use the following public server settings exactly as shown:

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

Use either the domain d.plaspy.com or the direct IP 54.85.159.138 when entering server information into the LK710 configuration tool. All devices in Plaspy use the same port and the platform will auto detect protocol details sent by the tracker.

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • Ensure the LK710 has a charged internal battery or is connected to a suitable vehicle power source.
  • Install and activate a data capable SIM card with sufficient data allowance and correct network coverage for the deployment area.
  • Confirm you have access to the official LK-GPS configuration tool or the SMS command set used by the device vendor.
  • Verify cellular connectivity and that GPRS data sessions are possible from the device location.
  • Have basic device information available such as the device identifier or IMEI if required by your platform or installer tools.
  • Prepare the Plaspy server values d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 and port 8888 before starting configuration.

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The LK710 sends GPS positions and device telemetry over the cellular data link to the Plaspy server endpoint so Plaspy can display live location, history and generate alerts. Reporting is configured to point at Plaspy using the shared server and port, and Plaspy will detect the device protocol automatically when messages arrive.

  • The tracker is set up to report to the shared Plaspy endpoint d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 on port 8888.
  • Transport can be UDP or TCP depending on the firmware or configuration tool; choose the transport the device supports.
  • Location updates and telemetry such as battery level and event triggers are forwarded to Plaspy for map display and rules processing.
  • If GPRS is unavailable, SMS based queries and commands can be used for critical status checks and remote control.
  • Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol so no separate platform port mapping is required.

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official LK-GPS manufacturer configuration method or software documented for the LK710, or prepare the SMS configuration commands supported by your unit.
  2. In the device server settings enter the Plaspy server domain d.plaspy.com or the server IP 54.85.159.138.
  3. Set the destination port to 8888 to match Plaspy’s required port for all devices.
  4. Choose UDP or TCP if the device requires an explicit transport selection.
  5. Apply or save the configuration within the manufacturer tool or send the SMS configuration commands to the device.
  6. Restart the device if required by the manufacturer instructions so the new network settings take effect.
  7. Validate that the LK710 reports to Plaspy by checking for the device in the Plaspy platform and confirming periodic updates arrive.

Example Configuration Commands​

No public LK710-specific configuration commands are provided on this page. The exact commands and syntax vary by LK-GPS firmware, distributor tools and SMS command versions. Typical manufacturer tools let you enter the server domain or IP and port 8888 directly, or you may send SMS configuration commands to set the GPRS server, transport and APN. Consult the official LK-GPS configuration manual or your device supplier for the exact command set and examples.

When using SMS commands provided by the manufacturer, you will generally point the device at d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 and set port 8888. Preserve any placeholder values from manufacturer examples such as [apn], [apnu], or [apnp] and replace them with your mobile operator APN settings as instructed by LK-GPS documentation.

Configuration Notes​

  • Firmware differences can change the exact menu labels and SMS command syntax; always confirm firmware version and consult the corresponding manual.
  • Choose UDP or TCP according to the device firmware options and installation requirements; Plaspy will accept either on port 8888.
  • SMS based configuration and querying is a useful fallback when GPRS is restricted or during initial setup in low coverage areas.
  • Test connectivity after configuration by verifying that the device appears and sends updates to Plaspy at d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 using port 8888.
  • Installer practices and OEM customizations can alter where and how network settings are entered; coordinate with the device vendor when needed.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Using the LK710 with Plaspy provides a straightforward path to centralized vehicle and asset visibility. Pointing the LK710 at Plaspy’s shared server endpoint enables real-time location, battery and status telemetry to be aggregated in one platform for mapping, alerting and operational monitoring. The LK710’s waterproof compact design and remote immobilizer capability make it suitable for fleet, rental and anti-theft workflows that benefit from Plaspy’s event handling and reporting features.
