V-SUN - TLT-8B Configuration

This page documents the public configuration context for using the V-SUN TLT-8B tracker with the Plaspy platform. It summarizes the practical steps and publicly available SMS commands that are commonly used to prepare the TLT-8B for communication with Plaspy, and it highlights the shared server settings Plaspy requires. The guidance here uses the TLT-8B description as the main factual grounding and incorporates manufacturer-provided SMS command patterns when available.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol, but exact manufacturer-side steps can vary depending on firmware revision, hardware version, installation type, and vendor tools. Where public SMS commands are available they are shown below; confirm any device specific differences with V-SUN documentation before applying settings.

Configuration Overview​

This configuration process prepares a TLT-8B to send location and status messages to Plaspy so the device becomes visible and trackable in the platform. The steps focus on telling the tracker where to report, ensuring GPRS is enabled, and validating communication from the vehicle to Plaspy.

  • Point the tracker to the Plaspy server endpoint and port used for all devices
  • Configure or verify the device APN so GPRS data works on your SIM
  • Enable GPRS and GPS reporting modes so the tracker sends position data
  • Set appropriate reporting intervals for moving and stationary states
  • Verify the tracker appears and reports correctly in Plaspy after setup

Plaspy Server Settings​

  • Server domain d.plaspy.com
  • Server IP 54.85.159.138
  • Port 8888
  • Transport support: UDP or TCP may be used depending on device selection
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol when the device connects

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • A powered and accessible V-SUN TLT-8B installed in the vehicle or connected to its OBD II port as applicable
  • An active SIM card with data enabled and the correct APN information for the mobile operator
  • Ability to send SMS commands to the tracker or access to the manufacturer configuration tool if provided
  • Knowledge of the device default password if required for commands (public sample uses 0000)
  • A brief maintenance window to reboot or restart the device after applying configuration
  • Access to the official manufacturer documentation for any firmware specific details

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The TLT-8B uses its GSM GPRS connection to send position and status messages to Plaspy's shared server endpoint. Once configured with the correct server and port the device will transmit data over the chosen transport and Plaspy will recognize the tracker protocol automatically.

  • The tracker is instructed to send GPRS data to d.plaspy.com or directly to 54.85.159.138 on port 8888
  • Transport can be set to UDP or TCP depending on device capabilities and network conditions
  • Plaspy receives the incoming messages and maps them to the platform using automatic protocol detection
  • Once reporting is active the device appears in the Plaspy platform for live tracking, event alerts, and history upload
  • Regular reporting intervals control how frequently moving and static updates are sent to Plaspy

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official V-SUN configuration method for the TLT-8B such as SMS commands or vendor software
  2. Enter the Plaspy server as either d.plaspy.com or the IP 54.85.159.138 in the device server field
  3. Set the server port to 8888 in the device configuration
  4. Choose UDP or TCP transport if the device requires a transport selection
  5. Configure the APN and any required APN username or password so the SIM can open a GPRS session
  6. Apply or save the configuration and send any required enable commands to switch the device to GPRS mode
  7. Restart or power cycle the device if required by the device firmware
  8. Validate that the device is reporting to Plaspy by checking the device status in the platform and confirming received messages

Example Configuration Commands​

The following SMS commands are public examples used with the V-SUN TLT-8B. The device sample uses the default password 0000 in these commands. Preserve the placeholders and replace them with your operator values where required.

  • Optional initial factory reset command (use only when needed):
*RESET#0000##
  • Set the operator APN. Replace [apn] with your operator APN. If your APN requires a username and password include [apnu] and [apnp]:
#803#0000#[apn]##

or with username and password:

#803#0000#[apn]#[apnu]#[apnp]##

(Keep the placeholders exactly as shown and replace them with your operator values.)

  • Set the GPRS server to Plaspy using the public IP and port. This points the tracker to Plaspy on port 8888:
#804#0000#54.85.159.138#8888##
  • Set the update interval for moving state (sample command uses the value 120 in the public example):
#805#0000#120#1##
  • Set the update interval for static state (sample command uses the value 120 in the public example):
#809#0000#120#1##
  • Enable GPRS mode on the device (public sample command):
7100000
  • Enable GPS mode on the device (public sample command):
2220000

Follow the command order when that order is important. The examples above are derived from publicly shared device command patterns; verify exact syntax for your firmware version before sending commands.

Configuration Notes​

  • Firmware variations can change command syntax and available parameters; always confirm with the manufacturer for your firmware revision
  • SMS based configuration requires that the SIM can receive SMS and that you know the device password; the public samples use 0000 as the default
  • Choosing TCP versus UDP can depend on the network and device behavior. Plaspy supports both transports and will accept data on port 8888
  • APN credentials are operator specific. Use the exact APN, username, and password provided by your SIM operator and replace placeholders accordingly
  • Some changes require a device restart or power cycle for the new server and modes to take effect

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Using the V-SUN TLT-8B with Plaspy provides a straightforward way to centralize vehicle location and status into a single platform. Pointing the tracker to Plaspy's shared server and port makes the device visible in the platform, enabling operational monitoring, event reporting, and historical playback for fleet or vehicle management workflows.
