Xexun - XT008 Configuration

This page covers the public configuration context for using the Xexun XT008 GPS tracker with Plaspy. It gathers the practical, publicly available steps and commands used to point the tracker at Plaspy so the device can report position and status to the platform. Where manufacturer commands are available they are presented as examples in the Example Configuration Commands section.

Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol, while exact manufacturer side setup steps can vary by firmware, hardware revision, installation type, and vendor tools. The XT008 supports SMS based configuration commands and GPRS server settings in public documentation, so this guide shows how those commands are typically used with Plaspy server settings.

Configuration Overview​

This configuration process prepares the XT008 to communicate with Plaspy by setting operator APN, the Plaspy GPRS server endpoint, transport, and reporting interval. The goal is to establish reliable data delivery so the device appears in Plaspy and reports expected telemetry.

  • Configure the operator APN and optional APN credentials so the tracker can use mobile data.
  • Point the device GPRS server to Plaspy using the published server address and port.
  • Select UDP or TCP transport if the device requires an explicit choice.
  • Set the device reporting interval to match your monitoring needs for Plaspy.
  • Validate the tracker is reporting to Plaspy and visible in the platform.

Plaspy Server Settings​

Use the following public Plaspy server settings when configuring the XT008:

  • 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

Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices and will attempt to detect the correct protocol automatically when the tracker connects.

Typical Requirements Before Setup​

  • A powered and reachable XT008 with access to its SMS configuration phone number or manufacturer configuration tool.
  • A SIM card active for data and able to send and receive SMS messages if you will configure the device by SMS.
  • The device default password or the configured admin password for command authentication; the public example uses 123456 as the default.
  • Operator APN details including APN name and optional APN username and password.
  • Basic mobile network coverage for GPRS data so the device can reach Plaspy.
  • Access to the official manufacturer documentation or installer tool for reference during setup.

How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy​

The XT008 is configured to report location and status data to the shared Plaspy server endpoint and port. Once the tracker has correct APN settings and the Plaspy server configured, it will send periodic updates that Plaspy ingests and displays.

  • The tracker sends GPRS traffic to the configured Plaspy endpoint using the server IP or domain and the shared port.
  • Transport can be UDP or TCP depending on device settings; Plaspy accepts either and auto detects the protocol.
  • Periodic location updates are delivered according to the configured reporting interval.
  • Plaspy receives and processes the incoming data so the device becomes visible in the platform for monitoring and alerts.
  • Server configuration and testing are the primary steps to ensure the device reports successfully to Plaspy.

Common Configuration Workflow​

  1. Access the official manufacturer configuration method or SMS command list from Xexun or your installer.
  2. Confirm the operator APN and prepare any APN username or password required by the SIM.
  3. Enter the Plaspy server address by using d.plaspy.com or the server IP 54.85.159.138 in the device settings.
  4. Set the device port to 8888 as this is the port Plaspy uses for all devices.
  5. Choose UDP or TCP if the XT008 requires an explicit transport selection.
  6. Apply or save the configuration and restart the tracker if the device requires a reboot to apply changes.
  7. Validate that the device reports to Plaspy and appears as an active tracker in the platform.

Example Configuration Commands​

The XT008 public configuration can be performed by SMS commands. The sample commands below use the default device password 123456. Placeholders such as [apn], [apnu], and [apnp] should be replaced with your operator APN, APN username, and APN password respectively.

  • Optional initial factory restore command (use only if needed to reset settings):
begin123456
  • Set the operator APN:
apn123456 [apn]
  • Set the APN username (if required by your operator):
apnuser123456 [apnu]
  • Set the APN password (if required by your operator):
apnpasswd123456 [apnp]
  • Set the GPRS server and port to Plaspy (public example uses the server IP and port):
adminip123456 54.85.159.138 8888
  • Configure GPRS mode (device specific mode command as published):
gprsmode123456
  • Set the device update interval to 60 seconds (example format shown in public commands):
t060s***n123456

Notes about these commands:

  • The default password 123456 is included in the example commands and should be changed according to your security practices if the device allows.
  • If your device firmware accepts a domain name in the server command, you can substitute d.plaspy.com for the IP address; consult Xexun documentation or test with a single command before wide deployment.
  • Replace [apn], [apnu], and [apnp] with your mobile operator values. These placeholders are deliberately preserved in the commands.

Configuration Notes​

  • Firmware and hardware revisions may change the exact command syntax or the availability of SMS configuration features; always verify commands against the current Xexun documentation.
  • SMS based setup is commonly used for XT008 but manufacturer tools or USB installers may also be available for bulk or offline configuration.
  • Choose UDP or TCP based on your installation needs and device firmware options; Plaspy accepts both and will auto detect the protocol from incoming connections.
  • Ensure the APN settings match the mobile operator on the SIM card to provide working GPRS data.
  • Keep device passwords secure and document any changes to avoid locking out configuration access.

Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration​

Configuring the Xexun XT008 to report to Plaspy gives organizations reliable visibility into asset and vehicle movements using a proven platform. With the Plaspy endpoint and port set on the device, the tracker can provide interval updates and alerts that support operational monitoring, geofencing, and event review.
