OKB Tehnoavtomatika - MTA-03 Configuration

This page documents the public configuration context for using the OKB Tehnoavtomatika MTA-03 tracker with Plaspy. It describes the shared Plaspy server settings, the typical setup workflow, and practical considerations for preparing the MTA-03 to report location and status so it becomes visible in the Plaspy platform. The content is based on public device characteristics and the standard Plaspy server parameters used for all compatible trackers.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol when a device connects. Exact manufacturer side configuration steps for the MTA-03 can vary depending on firmware revision, hardware revision, installation type, and the vendor configuration tool or SMS command set you use. Use this guide for practical setup context and always confirm device specific steps with the device documentation.

Configuration Overview​

The goal of configuring the MTA-03 for Plaspy is to ensure the device can reach the Plaspy server endpoint reliably and report location and event data so the unit appears correctly in the platform. Configuration prepares the device network parameters, selects transport type if required, and validates connectivity to Plaspy.

  • Provide the MTA-03 with valid internet connectivity via GPRS or enable SMS reporting where applicable so it can reach Plaspy
  • Configure the device server endpoint and port so all telemetry is sent to the Plaspy server
  • Select UDP or TCP transport if the device requires an explicit transport choice
  • Save and apply settings, then validate that the device registers and reports to Plaspy
  • Confirm visibility and basic telemetry in Plaspy to verify the configuration has taken effect

Plaspy Server Settings​

Use the following public Plaspy server settings when configuring the MTA-03 to report to Plaspy:

  • Server domain d.plaspy.com
  • Server IP 54.85.159.138
  • Port 8888
  • Transport support for UDP or TCP
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol when a device connects

Note that Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices and will handle protocol detection automatically on connection.

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • Ensure the MTA-03 has a stable power supply and a charged internal battery where applicable
  • A SIM card with active data (GPRS) or SMS capability if you plan to use internet reporting or SMS commands
  • Access to the official OKB Tehnoavtomatika configuration method such as manufacturer software, web tool, or supported SMS command set
  • The device documentation and firmware notes for the specific MTA-03 hardware revision you have
  • A way to place the device in a location with adequate GSM coverage during initial testing
  • Basic knowledge of whether the device firmware requires TCP or UDP to be set manually

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

When configured for Plaspy, the MTA-03 sends its location and status data to the shared Plaspy server endpoint and port so Plaspy can present real time location and event information. Plaspy receives the incoming connection and automatically determines the tracker protocol to process the data.

  • The tracker is configured to report to the Plaspy server endpoint d.plaspy.com or the equivalent server IP 54.85.159.138
  • Telemetry is sent over port 8888 which Plaspy uses for all supported devices
  • You may choose UDP or TCP as the transport if the device firmware requires an explicit selection
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol and maps incoming data to the device record
  • Successful connection and reporting enable location visibility, event reporting, and operational monitoring in Plaspy

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official OKB Tehnoavtomatika configuration method or software for the MTA-03 (manufacturer tool, web interface, or SMS command set).
  2. Enter the Plaspy server address using the domain d.plaspy.com or the server IP 54.85.159.138 as allowed by the configuration method.
  3. Set the server port to 8888 as the device server port.
  4. Choose UDP or TCP transport if the device requires a transport selection in its settings.
  5. Apply or save the configuration changes in the device configuration tool or send the corresponding SMS commands.
  6. Restart the MTA-03 if required by the firmware or configuration guide to apply network changes.
  7. Validate that the device reports to Plaspy by checking device status and recent messages in the Plaspy platform.

Example Configuration Commands​

The MTA-03 supports configuration through manufacturer software tools and commonly through SMS commands or GPRS parameter setting depending on firmware. Exact SMS command syntax and software UI commands vary by firmware and tool, so consult the device manual for the precise syntax. Because commands and syntax are determined by the manufacturer and firmware, the exact method may differ across devices and revisions.

If you have the official command list or configuration string from OKB Tehnoavtomatika for the MTA-03, apply the commands in the order recommended by the manufacturer, typically:

  • Set server domain or IP
  • Set server port 8888
  • Set transport UDP or TCP if required
  • Save and reboot or send an apply command

Preserve placeholders provided by manufacturer commands such as [apn], [apnu], or [apnp] when present; they represent APN and APN credential values required for GPRS.

Configuration Notes​

  • Firmware differences can change the exact SMS or software command syntax. Confirm commands against the MTA-03 manual for your firmware version.
  • In many deployments you can choose UDP for lower overhead or TCP for guaranteed delivery. Follow local network requirements and device behavior when selecting transport.
  • Installer tools from OKB Tehnoavtomatika may offer a GUI method to set d.plaspy.com or the numeric IP. Use the method recommended by your vendor.
  • SMS based setup is often supported for initial provisioning where GPRS is not yet active; consult the device SMS command reference.
  • Always verify that the device has adequate GSM/GPRS coverage and the correct APN settings before expecting Plaspy to receive telemetry.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Configuring the MTA-03 to report to Plaspy provides a straightforward path for organizations to add this tracker into a centralized monitoring workflow. Once the device is pointed to Plaspy and verified on port 8888, Plaspy’s automatic protocol detection simplifies integration and reduces the need to manage protocol selection manually. This makes it practical to monitor vehicle fleets, stationary assets, and specialized equipment in one platform.
