TrackerKing - DK19 Configuration

This page covers the public configuration context for using the TrackerKing DK19 with Plaspy. It focuses on the practical server and platform settings needed to make the DK19 visible in Plaspy and explains what to prepare before integrating the device with the platform.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol. Exact manufacturer-side setup steps can vary by DK19 firmware version, hardware revision, installation type, and the vendor configuration tools used during commissioning.

Configuration Overview​

This configuration process prepares the DK19 to communicate reliably with Plaspy so you can see real-time location, status events, and basic telemetry in the Plaspy dashboard.

  • Point the device to the Plaspy server endpoint and set the shared Plaspy port so the DK19 reports to the correct platform.
  • Choose the transport type (UDP or TCP) if the DK19 configuration interface requires selection.
  • Save and apply the new server configuration and restart the device if the manufacturer tool requires a reboot.
  • Verify the DK19 reports location and events to Plaspy and confirm it appears in your account.
  • Validate alarms and key inputs such as ACC ignition detection and immobilizer inputs in Plaspy after the device is reporting.
  • Note that all devices in Plaspy use the same port and Plaspy will automatically detect the DK19 protocol for parsing.

Plaspy Server Settings​

  • Server domain: d.plaspy.com
  • Server IP: 54.85.159.138
  • Port: 8888 (Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices)
  • Transport: UDP or TCP are both supported by Plaspy; configure the DK19 for either transport if required by the device settings
  • Protocol detection: Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol so you do not need to preselect protocol parsing on the platform

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • A powered and operational DK19 unit installed or connected to a bench power source within the device voltage range.
  • An active cellular SIM and mobile connectivity for the DK19 since it uses a 4G Cat‑1 module with fallback to 2G where applicable.
  • Access to the TrackerKing manufacturer configuration method or software used to provision DK19 settings.
  • A Plaspy account and access to the Plaspy platform so you can verify the device after it begins reporting.
  • Knowledge of the device firmware version and any vendor-specific setup instructions that affect network or protocol behavior.
  • Tools for logging or monitoring the device session during initial configuration, such as a serial console or a manufacturer utility if available.

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The DK19 streams location, movement and device status to the Plaspy endpoint so fleet managers and owners can monitor the asset in real time and receive event-driven alerts.

  • The DK19 is configured to report to the shared Plaspy server endpoint and port (d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 on port 8888).
  • Device telemetry and alarms are sent over the selected transport (UDP or TCP) and parsed by Plaspy.
  • Plaspy automatically detects the DK19 protocol among supported formats so tracking data is interpreted without manual protocol selection in the platform.
  • After configuration, Plaspy displays live position updates, ignition state events, and alarm notifications from the DK19.
  • Historical routes and retransmitted points from blind-area retransmission are available in Plaspy once the device is reporting consistently.

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official TrackerKing DK19 configuration method or software provided by the manufacturer or installer.
  2. In the device server settings enter the Plaspy server using either the domain or the IP: d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138.
  3. Set the device port to 8888 (this is the shared port used by Plaspy for all supported devices).
  4. If the DK19 requires a transport selection, choose UDP or TCP depending on your network preference or installer guidance.
  5. Apply or save the configuration in the DK19 tool and confirm changes were accepted.
  6. Restart or power-cycle the device if the manufacturer instructions indicate a reboot is required.
  7. Validate that the DK19 reports to Plaspy by checking your Plaspy account for the device, confirming telemetry and event reporting appear correctly.

Example Configuration Commands​

The DK19 manufacturer documentation and configuration utilities vary by firmware and provisioning tools. Because the DK19 configuration commands and formats are provided by TrackerKing and its configuration tools, the exact steps and command syntax can differ.

If you are using a TrackerKing provisioning tool, follow the vendor instructions to set:

  • Server: d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138
  • Port: 8888
  • Transport: UDP or TCP

For precise command examples and device-side command syntax consult the TrackerKing DK19 user manual or the vendor configuration software. Plaspy will receive and parse the data once the server and port are correctly set.

Configuration Notes​

  • Firmware differences can change configuration menus and available options; always confirm the DK19 firmware version before following steps.
  • Choosing UDP versus TCP can affect delivery semantics; both are accepted by Plaspy, so pick the transport that matches your network reliability needs and installer guidance.
  • Because Plaspy automatically detects protocol, you do not normally need to change protocol parsing settings in the platform when onboarding DK19 devices.
  • Installer best practices include verifying mobile network registration and signal quality before finalizing the device position.
  • Review the TrackerKing product documentation for any device-specific commands or special provisioning steps prior to mass deployment.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Using the DK19 with Plaspy provides a straightforward way to collect real-time location, ignition status and alarm events from a compact vehicle tracker. Plaspy’s shared server configuration model simplifies onboarding because a single server endpoint and port are used across devices and Plaspy handles protocol detection automatically.
