OKB Tehnoavtomatika - MTA-12 Configuration

This page covers the public configuration context for using the OKB Tehnoavtomatika MTA-12 tracker with Plaspy. It explains the shared server settings that Plaspy requires and describes the practical steps used to point an MTA-12 device at the Plaspy service. Use this as a platform-focused reference while also consulting manufacturer documentation for device specific commands and interfaces.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol when data arrives. Exact manufacturer side setup steps for the MTA-12 can vary by firmware, hardware revision, installation type, and the configuration tools your vendor provides. The MTA-12 supports reporting over GPRS and notifications by SMS in addition to CAN telemetry for vehicle state information, so choose the configuration method that matches your installation and firmware capabilities.

Configuration Overview​

Configuring the MTA-12 for Plaspy prepares the device to send location and status data to a single Plaspy endpoint and port. The goal is to ensure reliable GPRS connectivity, correct server endpoint and transport selection, and to validate that the device is visible and reporting correctly in Plaspy.

  • Point the tracker to the Plaspy server endpoint so data is routed to the platform
  • Select the transport protocol supported by the device and Plaspy either UDP or TCP on the shared port
  • Verify GPRS connectivity or SMS setup depending on how the device sends data
  • Confirm CAN enabled mappings if you require vehicle telemetry such as fuel or ignition state
  • Validate that the tracker appears and reports in Plaspy after saving settings

Plaspy Server Settings​

Use the following public Plaspy settings when configuring the MTA-12 device:

  • 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 data arrives

Note that Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices and that the MTA-12 may be configured to use either UDP or TCP on port 8888 depending on your device firmware and vendor tool options.

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • Confirm the MTA-12 has a stable power connection and is installed according to manufacturer guidance
  • Ensure a working SIM with data enabled if you will use GPRS for internet reporting
  • Obtain access to the official OKB Tehnoavtomatika configuration interface or vendor configuration tool
  • Know whether your installation will use GPRS reporting or SMS based notifications and prepare settings accordingly
  • Have the device firmware version and hardware revision available for reference in case behavior differs
  • Prepare any CAN mapping requirements if you intend to forward vehicle telemetry such as fuel or ignition state

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The MTA-12 can be configured to send periodic position and state reports to Plaspy over GPRS. Once the device is pointed at the Plaspy endpoint and the transport is selected, the platform will detect the protocol and begin ingesting data for display and monitoring.

  • The tracker reports location and telemetry to the Plaspy server endpoint d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138
  • Data is sent on port 8888 using either UDP or TCP as configured on the device
  • Plaspy automatically detects the device protocol when the first valid packet arrives
  • Reported CAN telemetry such as fuel and ignition state can be processed if the device is configured to send it
  • Visibility in Plaspy confirms successful communication and allows operational monitoring

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official OKB Tehnoavtomatika configuration method or vendor software for the MTA-12
  2. In the device server settings enter the Plaspy server domain d.plaspy.com or alternatively the server IP 54.85.159.138
  3. Set the destination port to 8888
  4. Choose UDP or TCP as the transport if the device requires a transport selection
  5. Configure any APN or GPRS parameters needed for the device to reach the internet if using GPRS reporting
  6. Apply or save the configuration in the device tool and, if required, restart the tracker to activate settings
  7. Validate that the device reports to Plaspy and appears in the platform using operational monitoring or a test report

Example Configuration Commands​

The exact commands and configuration strings for the MTA-12 depend on the manufacturer utility, firmware, and vendor tooling. OKB Tehnoavtomatika devices often support configuration via a vendor software tool and may also allow SMS based parameter setting. Because methods vary, consult the official OKB Tehnoavtomatika documentation for device specific command syntax and examples.

If your vendor provides SMS command templates or a configuration SDK, follow those templates to set the server domain or IP and port to the Plaspy values listed above. For example many trackers require a sequence like set server, set port, set transport, then save, but the exact command names are vendor specific.

Configuration Notes​

  • Firmware and hardware revisions may change available configuration options and command syntax; always confirm the firmware level before applying a procedure
  • Choose UDP or TCP based on compatibility with your firmware and network stability considerations; Plaspy accepts both on port 8888 and will detect the protocol automatically
  • If using GPRS, ensure APN and related data settings are correct for the SIM in use; vendor tools will typically expose these fields
  • SMS configuration routes are often supported for initial or fallback setup but refer to OKB Tehnoavtomatika documentation for exact SMS command formats
  • All devices configured to send data to Plaspy should use the shared port 8888 to maintain consistency across devices

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Using Plaspy with the OKB Tehnoavtomatika MTA-12 provides a straightforward way to collect location data and vehicle telemetry in a centralized platform. For organizations that require fleet visibility, operational alerts, and telemetry such as fuel and ignition state from CAN, directing the MTA-12 to the Plaspy server enables consolidated monitoring and reporting.
