YulongDa - TK102 Configuration
This page documents the public configuration context for using the YulongDa TK102 GPS tracker with the Plaspy platform. It focuses on the practical server settings and SMS commands that are commonly used to point the TK102 to Plaspy, and it explains the basic workflow required to prepare the device and validate connectivity. The technical details here are derived from the model description and the publicly available configuration commands for the TK102.
Plaspy uses shared server settings across supported devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol, but exact manufacturer side setup steps can vary with firmware, hardware revision, installation type, and vendor tools. The TK102 supports GSM and GPRS and can be configured by SMS according to the public commands shown below. Use the manufacturer documentation and tools when available to confirm device specific details.
Configuration Overview
Preparing a TK102 for Plaspy means configuring its GPRS server settings or sending the correct SMS commands so the tracker reports to the Plaspy server endpoint. The process ensures the device can register on the cellular network, establish a GPRS session, and transmit position and status updates to Plaspy for visibility and monitoring.
- Set the tracker to report to the Plaspy server endpoint so positions arrive in the platform.
- Configure APN and GPRS parameters so the device can open a data session on the mobile network.
- Choose transport type UDP or TCP on port 8888 if the tracker requires an explicit selection.
- Validate connectivity by confirming the device is visible and reporting in Plaspy.
- Use SMS based commands or the vendor configuration tool according to the device firmware and installer preference.
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 and all devices in Plaspy use the same port
Typical Requirements Before Setup
- A valid SIM card installed in the TK102 capable of GPRS data and SMS operation.
- Sufficient battery charge or external power to avoid interruptions during setup.
- Access to the official manufacturer configuration method or SMS control commands for the TK102.
- Knowledge of the correct APN and any operator credentials required for mobile data on the chosen SIM.
- A handset able to send SMS commands to the tracker if using SMS configuration.
- Confirmation that the tracker firmware supports SMS commands shown below and accepts the default password if applicable.
How This Tracker Connects to Plaspy
The TK102 is configured to report location and device events to the shared Plaspy server endpoint and port so the device appears in the Plaspy platform for monitoring and analysis. Once the tracker has a working GPRS session and the server settings are applied, Plaspy will receive periodic position updates and any supported alerts the device sends.
- The tracker initiates a GPRS connection using the configured APN and credentials.
- It opens a data session to d.plaspy.com or 54.85.159.138 on port 8888.
- The tracker sends location and status messages over UDP or TCP depending on the selected transport.
- Plaspy automatically detects the device protocol and processes incoming messages for display.
- Visibility in Plaspy is verified when the device begins reporting and positions appear in the platform.
Common Configuration Workflow
- Access the official manufacturer configuration method or software, or prepare to send SMS configuration commands according to the TK102 instructions.
- Enter the Plaspy server address as d.plaspy.com or enter the server IP 54.85.159.138 in the device settings.
- Set port 8888 for the GPRS server; note that Plaspy uses the same port for all supported devices.
- Choose UDP or TCP if the device requires a transport selection, based on installer preference or network conditions.
- Configure the APN and any operator credentials required for mobile data connectivity.
- Apply or save the configuration and restart the device if the tracker firmware requires a reboot to activate the new settings.
- Validate that the device reports to Plaspy by checking for incoming positions and device heartbeat messages in the platform.
Example Configuration Commands
The TK102 supports SMS based configuration. The following public commands are taken from the device configuration examples and are intended to be sent as SMS messages to the tracker. The device default password used in these examples is 123456. Preserve the placeholders when sending your actual APN values.
- Optional initial factory restore command
#begin#123456#
This command restores factory settings and may be used as an initial step if you need to reset the device. Only use it when a reset is required.
- Set the operator APN
#APN#123456#[apn]#[apnu]#[apnp]#
Placeholders explanation
-
[apn] is the mobile operator APN name required for GPRS data.
-
[apnu] is the optional APN username if required by the operator.
-
[apnp] is the optional APN password if required by the operator. If the operator does not require username or password, those placeholders can be omitted according to the device command format.
-
Set the GPRS server to point to Plaspy
#adminip#123456#54.85.159.138#8888#
This command configures the tracker to send data to the Plaspy server IP and port. Alternatively, you can use d.plaspy.com in vendor tools that accept domain names.
Send these SMS commands from an authorized phone number or through the manufacturer recommended tool according to the device manual. Keep the command order when performing an initial setup as shown above.
Configuration Notes
- Firmware versions and hardware revisions can change command formats or supported features; verify the exact syntax in the official user manual.
- The TK102 supports SMS configuration as shown in the examples above; some installers prefer vendor software or USB tools when available.
- TCP and UDP are both supported for transport; choose the option best suited to your network and firewall environment.
- Plaspy uses the same port 8888 for all devices and automatically detects the tracker protocol, so use the listed port when configuring the device.
- Ensure the SIM APN and credentials are correct before testing server connectivity to avoid connection failures.
Why Use Plaspy with This Configuration
