Meitrack - MVT-600 Configuration

This page covers the public configuration context for using the Meitrack MVT-600 with Plaspy. It describes the practical server settings, common workflow, and example SMS commands that are used in public setups so you can prepare the tracker to report locations and events to Plaspy. Use this page as a practical reference while following any additional manufacturer or vendor instructions.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol, but exact manufacturer-side steps can vary by firmware, hardware revision, installation type, and the configuration tool or SMS syntax used by your vendor. The MVT-600 supports SMS-based configuration and GPRS reporting in public examples, which this page incorporates alongside the required Plaspy server information.

Configuration Overview​

The objective of the configuration process is to prepare the MVT-600 so it reliably communicates with Plaspy and becomes visible in the platform for tracking, event reporting, and operational monitoring. Where available, SMS commands are a practical method to apply the settings shown here, including GPRS server configuration and reporting intervals.

  • Set the tracker to send GPRS data to the Plaspy server endpoint so the device can be tracked in Plaspy.
  • Configure device reporting interval and event reporting so the platform receives timely location and alarm data.
  • Verify APN and SIM connectivity so GPRS sessions succeed when reporting to Plaspy.
  • Use SMS or the manufacturer tool to apply settings and confirm the device is reachable by Plaspy.
  • Keep a record of the device password and change it if required by your security policy.

Plaspy Server Settings​

  • Server domain d.plaspy.com
  • Server IP 54.85.159.138
  • Port 8888
  • Transport support for UDP or TCP; the device may be configured to use either transport on port 8888
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol
  • All devices in Plaspy use the same port for server communication

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • A powered and installed MVT-600 with access to its SMS or configuration interface
  • An active SIM card with a data plan and the correct APN credentials for GPRS
  • The device default password if required to send configuration SMS commands (public examples use 0000 as the default)
  • Access to the official Meitrack configuration method such as SMS commands or vendor software
  • A test procedure to validate that the device is visible in Plaspy after configuration

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The MVT-600 is configured to report location and event data to the shared Plaspy server endpoint and port. Once the device is pointed to Plaspy and the network session is established, Plaspy will detect the tracker protocol and begin ingesting telemetry for live tracking, alerts, and historical logs.

  • The tracker sends GPRS packets to d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 on port 8888
  • The device can be set to use UDP or TCP transport depending on firmware and installer preference
  • Plaspy automatically detects the protocol used by the tracker for correct parsing
  • Event reports and periodic location updates make the device visible in Plaspy for monitoring
  • Successful connection lets Plaspy receive alarms, movement reports, and configured telemetry

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official Meitrack configuration method for your device, typically SMS commands or vendor configuration software.
  2. Enter the Plaspy server address by specifying either d.plaspy.com or the server IP 54.85.159.138, according to the device command format.
  3. Set the port to 8888, noting that Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices.
  4. Choose UDP or TCP transport if the device requires an explicit selection.
  5. Apply or save the configuration and restart the device if required by the firmware or workflow.
  6. Validate connectivity by confirming the tracker reports to Plaspy and appears in the platform with expected updates.
  7. If reporting fails, verify APN credentials, SIM data connectivity, and that SMS commands were accepted by the device.

Example Configuration Commands​

The public Meitrack MVT-600 configuration example below uses SMS commands. The sample setup assumes the device password is 0000, which is the factory default in this public example. Replace [apn], [apnu], and [apnp] with the SIM card APN, APN username, and APN password as required by your operator. Commands should be sent as separate SMS messages in the order shown when order matters.

  1. Optional initial factory reset or restore to factory settings (use only when needed):
0000,F11
  1. Set the GPRS server to Plaspy. This example uses the Plaspy server IP and port and includes an APN placeholder. If your device accepts a domain name instead of IP, you may use d.plaspy.com in place of the IP.
0000,A21,2,54.85.159.138,8888,[apn],[apnu],[apnp]
  • Explanation: [apn] is your mobile data APN. [apnu] and [apnp] are APN username and password placeholders and should be omitted if not required by the network operator.
  1. Set the time zone to UTC 0:
0000,B36,0
  1. Set the periodic update interval to every 1 minute:
0000,A12,6,0
  • Explanation: The exact A12 parameter syntax can vary by firmware. This example sets a reporting mode and interval of 1 minute as shown in the public sample.
  1. Configure event reporting (example sets events to value 0 in the public sample):
0000,C03,0

Note: Keep the device password and command syntax consistent with your device firmware. If your firmware requires the domain name instead of the IP, replace 54.85.159.138 with d.plaspy.com in the A21 command.

Configuration Notes​

  • SMS-based configuration is a common method for Meitrack devices and is used in the public example above; vendor tools may offer a GUI alternative.
  • Firmware versions and regional variants can change SMS parameter syntax and available command sets; always confirm the syntax for your device firmware.
  • Choose UDP or TCP according to installer guidance and network behavior; Plaspy accepts either and detects the protocol automatically.
  • Verify APN, username, and password values with the mobile operator before sending GPRS server commands.
  • If you perform a factory reset as part of initial setup, treat that step as optional and only use it when preparing a device for reconfiguration.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Using Plaspy with the Meitrack MVT-600 gives organizations a practical way to centralize vehicle visibility, event monitoring, and historical reporting while using a consistent server endpoint and port for all supported devices. The MVT-600's capabilities such as optional camera snapshots, sensor inputs, and event reporting make it a flexible option for fleets that need both location tracking and complementary telemetry.
