SinoTrack - GT06N Configuration

This page covers the public configuration context for using the SinoTrack GT06N with the Plaspy platform. It consolidates the known public commands and server settings used to point a GT06N tracker to Plaspy so the device can report location and status to the platform. Use this information alongside the device manual and vendor resources.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol. Exact manufacturer side steps can vary with firmware, hardware revision, installation type, and vendor tools. The commands shown here are the commonly published SMS based sequence used to configure GT06N devices to report to Plaspy.

Configuration Overview​

The GT06N configuration process prepares the tracker to communicate reliably with Plaspy and to appear correctly in the platform. Typical configuration sets the device time zone, APN, GPRS server target, reporting intervals, and the device mode so that data is sent to Plaspy.

  • Configure the device to use the operator APN so GPRS data is available
  • Point the tracker to Plaspy server settings so position reports arrive at the platform
  • Set periodic report intervals to control update frequency and power use
  • Switch the tracker into GPRS reporting mode so it transmits to Plaspy automatically
  • Verify configuration with the device verification command so the device ID used by Plaspy is known

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

These exact values are the public Plaspy endpoint settings used to receive data from supported trackers including the GT06N.

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • Reliable power to the device during configuration and testing, using the vehicle power source
  • A working SIM card with mobile data service and a correct APN for the mobile operator
  • Access to the tracker configuration method published by the manufacturer, for GT06N this commonly includes SMS commands
  • A phone or management tool able to send SMS commands to the tracker phone number
  • The device must be registered in Plaspy using the device ID that the tracker reports after configuration
  • Basic familiarity with vendor commands and awareness that exact commands may differ by firmware

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The GT06N is configured to send location and event data over GPRS to the Plaspy server endpoint and port. Once the device is pointed to Plaspy and is online, Plaspy recognizes the tracker protocol and processes incoming messages automatically.

  • The tracker uses the configured APN to establish a GPRS data session
  • Device reports are sent to d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 on port 8888
  • Transport can be TCP or UDP depending on device or preference
  • Plaspy auto detects the tracker protocol so no per device protocol selection is required on the server side
  • Validation of the device ID using the RCONF command confirms the identity Plaspy will use

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official manufacturer configuration method or software for the GT06N, typically SMS commands or an approved configuration tool
  2. Send or enter the server address either as the domain d.plaspy.com or the IP 54.85.159.138 as the GPRS server
  3. Set the server port to 8888 in the device configuration
  4. Choose UDP or TCP transport if the device requires an explicit transport selection
  5. Configure the APN for your mobile operator so GPRS sessions will succeed
  6. Apply or save the configuration and switch the device to GPRS mode if required
  7. Restart or power cycle the tracker if the vendor instructions recommend it
  8. Validate that the device reports to Plaspy by checking the tracker ID output or using the RCONF verification command

Example Configuration Commands​

The following commands are the publicly documented SMS commands commonly used to configure SinoTrack GT06N trackers for Plaspy. Send these commands as text messages to the device phone number in the order shown when following an initial setup flow.

  • Optional initial factory restore
RESET

Label this RESET step as optional or only use when a full factory restore is required.

  • Set the time zone to UTC 0
8960000E00
  • Set the APN of the operator
8030000 [apn] [apnu] [apnp]

Explanation of placeholders:

  • [apn] is the APN name for the mobile operator

  • [apnu] is the APN username if required by the operator

  • [apnp] is the APN password if required by the operator If your operator does not require username or password, leave those placeholders empty or follow the manufacturer SMS syntax.

  • Set up the GPRS server to Plaspy by IP and port

8040000 54.85.159.138 8888

You may use the domain d.plaspy.com instead of the IP if the device accepts a domain string in place of an IP address.

  • Set update interval when the device is on
8050000 60

This example sets a 60 second reporting interval for the on state. Adjust the numeric interval per your requirements and vendor command reference.

  • Set update interval when the device is off
8090000 60

This sets the off state reporting interval to 60 seconds in this example.

  • Switch the device to GPRS mode so it reports to the server
7100000
  • Verify settings and retrieve the device ID
RCONF

Use RCONF to confirm APN, server and mode settings and to read the device ID that Plaspy will use for identification.

Configuration Notes​

  • SMS based configuration is commonly used for GT06N devices; follow the exact SMS syntax required by your firmware
  • Some firmware revisions accept domain names instead of numeric IPs when specifying the server; if supported you can use d.plaspy.com in place of the IP
  • Choose UDP or TCP transport based on your device options; Plaspy accepts both and auto detects the protocol on arrival
  • Reporting intervals and other parameters shown are examples and should be tuned to your operational and data usage needs
  • Always cross reference these public commands with the manufacturer manual and your device firmware notes

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Using Plaspy with a correctly configured SinoTrack GT06N provides centralized visibility of vehicle location and status. Pointing the device to the shared Plaspy endpoint and port simplifies device onboarding and lets Plaspy automatically detect the protocol so incoming messages are processed without per device server customization.
