Megastek - MT200X Configuration

This page documents the public configuration context for using the Megastek MT200X tracker with the Plaspy platform. It collects the practical server settings, common workflow steps, and example SMS configuration commands that are published for integrating the MT200X with Plaspy. Use this as a deployment reference while also consulting manufacturer resources for device specific details.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol when the device connects. Exact manufacturer-side setup steps can vary by firmware, hardware revision, installation type, and vendor tools. The MT200X can be configured via SMS commands in the manufacturer sample flow below; the sample uses the device default password 000000 where required.

Configuration Overview​

Preparing an MT200X for use with Plaspy focuses on ensuring the tracker can reach the Plaspy server over cellular data and report timely location and telemetry. The practical configuration steps prepare network settings, set the Plaspy endpoint, and validate the connection so the device appears in Plaspy for monitoring and alerting.

  • Configure APN and GPRS parameters so the device can establish a data session for reporting.
  • Point the tracker to the Plaspy server endpoint so telemetry is routed to the platform.
  • Choose UDP or TCP transport as supported by the device and network, using Plaspy's shared port.
  • Set reporting intervals and operational modes to match monitoring requirements.
  • Validate connectivity and ensure the device begins sending location and health reports to Plaspy.

Plaspy Server Settings​

  • Server domain d.plaspy.com
  • Server IP 54.85.159.138
  • Port 8888 (Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices)
  • Transport support: UDP or TCP (device may be configured to use either)
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol when the device connects

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • An active SIM card with a data plan enabled for GPRS/4G on the device.
  • The MT200X charged or connected to a power source and accessible for configuration.
  • The device IMEI number available for device identification and some SMS commands.
  • Access to the manufacturer configuration method, such as SMS-based commands or vendor software.
  • Knowledge of the network APN values for the SIM operator (placeholders are used below).
  • A phone or tool capable of sending SMS commands to the tracker if using SMS configuration.

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The MT200X sends GNSS location fixes and device telemetry over cellular data to the Plaspy endpoint so administrators can monitor real time location and receive alerts. Configuration directs the tracker to the shared Plaspy server address and port, after which Plaspy’s automatic protocol detection maps incoming messages to the correct protocol handler.

  • The tracker is configured to report to the Plaspy server endpoint and port.
  • Location and telemetry are transmitted over the device cellular connection using GPRS or equivalent data service.
  • Plaspy receives the connection on the shared port and auto-detects the tracker protocol for parsing.
  • Once connected, the device becomes visible in Plaspy for mapping, alerts, and reporting.
  • Platform visibility enables geofence alerts, tamper notifications, and device health monitoring.

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Confirm the MT200X is powered, reachable, and you have the IMEI and the device phone number.
  2. Access the official manufacturer configuration method or software (SMS commands, vendor tool, or configuration portal).
  3. Enter d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 as the GPRS server host in the device settings.
  4. Set port 8888 for the Plaspy endpoint and ensure the device uses the shared Plaspy port.
  5. 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 device reports to Plaspy and that the platform auto-detects the tracker protocol.

Example Configuration Commands​

The manufacturer sample for MT200X shows SMS commands as a common configuration mechanism. The examples below preserve the original command order and placeholders. The sample uses the device default password 000000; replace it with the device password if it has been changed.

  • Default device password used in the sample: 000000
  1. Set the device ID (replace IMEI15 with the device 15 digit IMEI)
M000000,22,IMEI15
  • Notes: IMEI15 refers to the device IMEI truncated or formatted to 15 digits as required by the device.
  1. Set the operator APN (replace placeholders with your operator values)
M000000,23,[apn],[apnu],[apnp]
  • Placeholders:
    • [apn] = operator APN name
    • [apnu] = APN username (if required by operator)
    • [apnp] = APN password (if required by operator)
  • If username or password are not required, the command may omit those fields per manufacturer guidelines.
  1. Set the update interval to 60 seconds
M000000,25,60
  1. Set the GPRS server (sample uses index 56 then the Plaspy server IP and port)
M000000,24,56 54.85.159.138,8888
  • This instructs the device to use the listed server entry. The sample shows the server IP and port. Some vendor formats include a server index or tag; follow the manufacturer syntax.
  1. Enable GPRS mode
M000000,21,2
  • How to send these commands: send each line as a separate SMS from an authorized phone number to the MT200X device phone number. Replace the password and placeholders with actual values as required.
  • Keep the order above when following the manufacturer sample sequence. If the device supports configuration through vendor software instead of SMS, perform equivalent steps in that tool.

Configuration Notes​

  • Firmware and hardware revisions can change SMS syntax or available command parameters; always verify commands against the manufacturer documentation for your device version.
  • The device sample uses SMS-based configuration; some deployments use vendor PC software or remote configuration portals instead. Use the method recommended by Megastek for your device variant.
  • Choose UDP or TCP based on network reliability and operator constraints; Plaspy supports both and uses the same port for all devices.
  • Plaspy’s automatic protocol detection means you do not usually need to select a protocol mapping on the platform side when the device connects to the shared endpoint.
  • Preserve device security by changing default passwords where supported and documenting authorized management numbers.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Using the MT200X with Plaspy provides a managed path for remote supervision and event monitoring. With the device pointed to the Plaspy server and reporting on the shared port, organizations gain continuous visibility into location, tamper events, and device health so they can apply geofencing rules, alerts, and operational workflows in one platform.
