Navtelekom - СИГНАЛ S-2613 Protocol

This page summarizes the public protocol context for using the Navtelekom СИГНАЛ S-2613 with Plaspy. It focuses on how the tracker communicates with Plaspy in non sensitive terms, what connection settings are used, and what to verify when integrating the device into a Plaspy deployment. The goal is to help installers and fleet administrators understand the communication role without exposing firmware internals.

Plaspy uses shared connection settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol when the device is pointed at the Plaspy endpoint. Exact protocol behavior for the S-2613 can vary with firmware version, hardware revision, and manufacturer implementation, so device behavior should be validated against manufacturer documentation and the installed firmware state.

Protocol Overview​

The S-2613 uses a device reporting protocol that enables GNSS coordinates, timestamps, and telemetry to be transmitted from the tracker to a backend server for visualization and processing. In practical terms the protocol defines how the tracker identifies itself, how it reports position and input/output events, and how it exchanges any supported remote control signals or acknowledgements with the server.

  • Enables transmission of GNSS position, velocity, and time data to a remote server.
  • Communicates discrete input and output state changes for alarms and control functions.
  • Encapsulates sensor and analog telemetry so Plaspy can surface usable metrics.
  • Supports remote command and control channels where the device firmware exposes them.
  • Provides identity and status information so the server can associate data with a specific unit.

How Plaspy Detects the Protocol​

Plaspy receives incoming device traffic on a single shared endpoint and port and automatically determines which supported tracker protocol is in use. When the S-2613 is configured to report to Plaspy, no manual protocol selection in Plaspy is typically required provided the device is sending to the Plaspy endpoint.

  • Plaspy listens on a single public endpoint for device reports so the same inbound port is used for all devices.
  • The Plaspy server domain is d.plaspy.com and the public server IP is 54.85.159.138 for device reporting reachability.
  • Plaspy uses the shared port 8888 for incoming tracker connections across all supported devices.
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol when valid device traffic arrives at the Plaspy endpoint.
  • If a device is correctly pointed at d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 and uses the allowed transport, Plaspy will ingest the data without requiring manual protocol selection.

Transport and Connection Context​

Connection context describes the transport layer options that the S-2613 can use to reach Plaspy and the practical considerations for choosing UDP or TCP. The device may be configured to use either transport depending on firmware and configuration tools.

  • The S-2613 may be configured to use UDP or TCP on port 8888 to report to Plaspy.
  • Devices can be pointed to the Plaspy server domain d.plaspy.com or directly to the server IP 54.85.159.138.
  • Plaspy uses the same port 8888 for all supported devices to simplify configuration and firewall rules.
  • Choice of UDP versus TCP depends on device capability and reliability needs in the deployed network.
  • Ensure network firewalls and carrier APN settings allow outbound traffic to the Plaspy endpoint on the configured transport and port.

Protocol Compatibility Notes​

  • Firmware revisions can change how the device reports certain telemetry items or which transport options are available.
  • Hardware revisions and optional interfaces such as RS-485 or Bluetooth can affect the set of telemetry the device can send.
  • Manufacturer side configuration tools or provisioning steps may be required to point the unit at d.plaspy.com or the Plaspy server IP.
  • Transport selection between UDP and TCP should match the device configuration and any network constraints in your deployment.
  • Validate that the installed firmware version on each unit supports the telemetry and remote control features you intend to use with Plaspy.
  • When in doubt, consult the device installation guide and the official Navtelekom resources to confirm feature availability.

Why Protocol Understanding Matters​

A clear, practical understanding of the tracker protocol helps ensure reliable device behavior, faster troubleshooting, and predictable integration with Plaspy. Knowing what the protocol carries and how the device connects lets administrators configure networks, validate incoming data, and manage fleet devices more effectively.

  • Helps confirm that GNSS coordinates and telemetry fields required by Plaspy are being reported.
  • Reduces time to diagnose connectivity problems by narrowing down transport and endpoint configuration.
  • Supports informed decisions about choosing UDP or TCP based on network reliability and latency needs.
  • Aids in validating firmware updates that may change the set of telemetry or control commands.
  • Prevents misconfiguration by ensuring devices are pointed at the official Plaspy endpoint and port.

Why Use Plaspy with This Protocol​

Using the Navtelekom СИГНАЛ S-2613 with Plaspy gives organizations a straightforward path to ingesting GNSS location and telemetry into a managed fleet platform. Plaspy's single endpoint approach and automatic protocol detection simplify device onboarding and reduce the configuration steps required at scale. For typical fleet and asset monitoring use cases, this combination supports real time tracking, event driven alerts, and historical reporting.
