V-SUN - TLT-3A Configuration

This page documents the public configuration context for using the V-SUN TLT-3A GPS vehicle tracker with the Plaspy platform. It focuses on the practical server settings and the common SMS commands and steps that are publicly available to prepare a TLT-3A for reporting to Plaspy. Use this guidance together with the device manual and vendor tools to complete an installation.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol when the device connects. Manufacturer side steps can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, installation type, and vendor configuration tools; the TLT-3A commonly supports SMS and GPRS based configuration and the examples below use the publicly available SMS commands and placeholders where applicable.

Configuration Overview​

The goal of the configuration process is to point the TLT-3A at Plaspy's network endpoint, ensure the device has a working data connection, and enable regular position updates so the device becomes visible inside Plaspy. The steps below are practical and suitable for technicians preparing the tracker for fleet use or a one-off installation.

  • Configure the device to use Plaspy as its GPRS server so it reports position and events to the platform.
  • Provide correct APN and SIM data so the tracker can establish a GPRS session.
  • Verify transport and port settings to match Plaspy server requirements on port 8888.
  • Enable tracking and adjust moving and stationary update intervals for the deployment.
  • Validate connectivity and that the device appears in Plaspy after applying settings.

Plaspy Server Settings​

  • Server domain d.plaspy.com for DNS based configuration when a domain is requested by the device.
  • Server IP 54.85.159.138 as the numeric destination for direct server configuration.
  • Port 8888 which Plaspy uses for all supported devices.
  • Transport support for UDP or TCP; the device may be configured using either UDP or TCP on port 8888.
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol when the device connects so no manual protocol selection is required on the platform side.

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • A charged and correctly installed TLT-3A with access to the device SMS or configuration interface.
  • An active GSM SIM with data enabled and a known APN for the mobile operator.
  • Access to an SMS-capable phone or an operator tool that can send configuration SMS messages to the tracker.
  • Knowledge of the device password; the publicly published default device password for these commands is 0000.
  • A web or network connection to confirm device presence in Plaspy after configuration.
  • Manufacturer documentation or vendor configuration tool for firmware specific options and advanced settings.

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The TLT-3A is configured to send location and event data to the Plaspy server endpoint and port so Plaspy can display and monitor the device. Typically, the tracker uses its GPRS data connection to open a TCP or UDP session to the server and then transmits regular position updates.

  • The tracker is pointed at the shared Plaspy server endpoint and port so data is routed into the Plaspy platform.
  • Once the GPRS session is active, the device transmits periodic updates according to the configured moving and static intervals.
  • Plaspy automatically detects the protocol used by the tracker and accepts the connection on port 8888.
  • Event reporting such as geo-fence breaches or movement alerts is forwarded to Plaspy when enabled on the device.
  • The platform provides visibility and operational monitoring once the device successfully reports to the shared server.

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official manufacturer configuration method or software, or prepare an SMS-capable phone to send configuration messages to the device.
  2. Ensure the device has a working SIM and you know the operator APN values you will use.
  3. Enter the Plaspy server domain d.plaspy.com or the server IP 54.85.159.138 in the device server configuration.
  4. Set port 8888 as the destination port; remember Plaspy uses the same port for all devices.
  5. Choose UDP or TCP if the device requires a transport selection; either is supported by Plaspy on port 8888.
  6. Apply or save the configuration and, if applicable, restart or power cycle the device to apply changes.
  7. Validate that the device reports to Plaspy by checking device connectivity and last reported time inside the platform.

Example Configuration Commands​

The TLT-3A commonly accepts SMS commands for configuration. The following commands are extracted from publicly available model configuration examples. The default device password used in these examples is 0000. Preserve the placeholders when replacing with your operator values.

  • Factory reset (optional initial step)
*RESET#0000##
  • Set the operator APN. Replace [apn] with your operator APN. If your operator requires APN username and password, replace [apnu] and [apnp] with those values. The APN username and password fields are optional depending on operator requirements.
#803#0000#[apn]#[apnu]#[apnp]##
  • Set the GPRS server to Plaspy using the public server IP and port 8888
#804#0000#54.85.159.138#8888##
  • Set the update interval while moving (example sets reporting to 120 seconds)
#805#0000#120#1##
  • Set the update interval while static or parked (example sets reporting to 120 seconds)
#809#0000#120#1##
  • Enable GPRS mode so the device will attempt to use data
7100000
  • Enable GPS mode (device will attempt to acquire GPS when enabled)
2220000

Use these commands in the order shown when performing an initial configuration. Adjust the timing values and APN fields to match your deployment requirements. The placeholders [apn], [apnu], and [apnp] should be replaced with the operator APN, APN username, and APN password respectively when required.

Configuration Notes​

  • SMS based configuration is commonly used for TLT-3A devices; ensure your SMS syntax matches the exact firmware variant on your tracker.
  • Firmware and hardware revisions can change command formats or default passwords; confirm the commands against the device manual for your unit.
  • Choose TCP or UDP according to installation needs; Plaspy accepts either transport on port 8888 and will detect the protocol automatically.
  • Confirm APN formatting with your mobile operator if the device cannot establish a GPRS session.
  • If a reset command is used, label it as optional and only perform it when you need to clear existing configuration.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Configuring a V-SUN TLT-3A to report to Plaspy provides a straightforward path to integrate a reliable GPS tracker into a centralized fleet or asset monitoring platform. With the device pointed at Plaspy's shared server endpoint and port, organizations gain near real time visibility, event reporting, and monitoring without having to manage unique server endpoints for each device.
