Sanav - CT-58 Configuration

This page covers the public configuration context for using the Sanav CT-58 mini GPS tracker with the Plaspy platform. It summarizes the practical steps and publicly available SMS commands needed to direct the CT-58 to report to the Plaspy server so the device can be monitored from the platform. The guidance here is focused on the shared server settings Plaspy requires and the common SMS-based commands provided in the device's public configuration notes.

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 with firmware, hardware revision, installation type, and vendor tools. Use this guide to prepare and apply the public Plaspy settings, and always cross-check device-specific details against the official Sanav documentation and firmware release notes.

Configuration Overview​

The goal of configuring a Sanav CT-58 for Plaspy is to prepare the tracker to connect over GPRS and send periodic location and event reports to the Plaspy endpoint so vehicles or assets appear and update reliably in the platform.

  • Configure the tracker to use the operator APN and valid GPRS credentials for data connectivity.
  • Point the CT-58 to the Plaspy server endpoint and port so the device can send telemetry to the platform.
  • Choose the appropriate transport (UDP or TCP) if required by the device firmware.
  • Apply an appropriate reporting interval so position updates appear at the desired frequency in Plaspy.
  • Validate connectivity and confirm the device is visible in Plaspy after configuration.

Plaspy Server Settings​

  • 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 and all devices in Plaspy use the same port

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • A charged CT-58 with access to the device SMS configuration interface or the manufacturer configuration tool.
  • An active SIM card with data and SMS capability inserted in the tracker and an operator APN available.
  • The device default password if required for remote SMS setup (the provided public commands use the default password 0000).
  • Access to a phone or SMS gateway to send configuration SMS commands to the tracker.
  • The official Sanav user manual or configuration reference for the CT-58 to confirm username and command syntax.
  • Basic ability to restart the device and observe status LEDs or logs during validation.

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

When configured for Plaspy, the CT-58 is set to send its location and event messages to Plaspy's shared server endpoint and port so the platform can ingest and decode the tracker data.

  • The tracker uses GPRS data to transmit position reports to the Plaspy endpoint.
  • The configured server endpoint points to d.plaspy.com or the Plaspy IP 54.85.159.138 at port 8888.
  • Transport can be TCP or UDP depending on device preference and firmware support.
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol so the device does not require a unique port configuration; all devices use the same port.
  • Once connected, Plaspy receives periodic updates and event reports which enable location visibility and operational monitoring in the platform.

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official Sanav configuration method for the CT-58 such as the SMS command interface or the vendor tool referenced in the Sanav manual.
  2. Ensure the device has a working SIM and set the operator APN values when required.
  3. Enter the Plaspy server as either d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 and set the server port to 8888.
  4. If the device requires a transport selection, choose UDP or TCP according to your deployment needs.
  5. Apply or save the configuration on the device and send any final SMS commands needed to commit settings.
  6. Restart the tracker if the device requires rebooting for new settings to take effect.
  7. Validate that the device reports to Plaspy and appears in the platform with the expected reporting interval and events.

Example Configuration Commands​

The CT-58 can be configured by sending SMS commands to the device. The following public commands are provided in the device configuration notes. The tracker command syntax uses a username placeholder and a password. The default password shown in the public commands is 0000. Replace username with the device username if applicable and replace the APN placeholders with your mobile operator details.

  • Optional initial factory reset (use only when needed or during first setup):
#username,0000,9*
  • Set the operator APN. Replace [apn] with your operator APN, [apnu] with the APN username if required, and [apnp] with the APN password if required:
#username,0000,3,[apn],[apnu],[apnp]*
  • Set the GPRS server to Plaspy using the Plaspy public IP and port 8888:
#username,0000,18,54.85.159.138:8888*
  • Set the data transmission route to use server reporting (public example command as provided):
#username,0000,14,9*
  • Set the update interval to 60 seconds (example sets interval and a parameter value as shown in public configuration):
#username,0000,6,60,9999*

Notes on placeholders and fields:

  • [apn] is the mobile operator APN string required for GPRS data.
  • [apnu] and [apnp] are optional APN username and password fields for operators that require them.
  • Keep the default password 0000 unless you have changed it; follow manufacturer guidance for changing device passwords.
  • Preserve the order of commands when order matters, for example setting APN before server settings to ensure the device can reach the server.

Configuration Notes​

  • Firmware or hardware revisions can change command syntax or available options. Verify commands against the CT-58 official manual for your firmware version.
  • The CT-58 supports SMS based configuration in the public guidance above; other configuration tools from Sanav may also be available and should be used when appropriate.
  • Choosing TCP versus UDP affects transport behavior; select the transport supported or recommended by your deployment and the device firmware.
  • Ensure the APN settings are correct for the SIM operator before pointing the device to the Plaspy endpoint.
  • Use the device restart step if settings do not appear to take effect immediately.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Configuring the Sanav CT-58 to report to Plaspy provides a straightforward path to integrate a compact tracker into a centralized fleet or asset management workflow. With the CT-58 reporting to Plaspy's shared server endpoint, organizations gain near real time visibility and event reporting that can support monitoring, asset protection, and operational decision making.
