Some of devices I have do not appear in my FOTA WEB. How can I make the device appear in my account?

Please contact your Sales Managers, devices that are bought from third parties are not added automatically to your FOTA WEB account.

How to know that the device successfully uploaded Firmware and Configuration?

The device update status changes in this order:
1. After assigning the firmware/configuration file > Device status will be shown as pending.
2. Then the device connects to FOTA WEB (by default device will connect to FOTA WEB every 12 hours to check if any tasks are pending), its status will change to updating.
3. After the device finalizes an update, then the device status will change to the completed.

Why the device does not connect instantly to the FOTA WEB when I assign the update?

The connection to the FOTA WEB comes from the device's side. There is a need to wait for the 12 hours by default for the device to connect. The connection period can be changed in the device configuration.

How to know which task I assigned will be done first?

Make sure that the devices have the required Firmware version 01.03.13 for FOTA WEB supportive.
Make sure that the FOTA WEB settings are set according to the manual. >>> Getting Started 
Due to factors like system load and device network quality, Teltonika Telematics cannot guarantee immediate FOTA WEB task execution. 
To ensure optimal FOTA WEB performance, we recommend the following: 
Scheduled Updates - Devices should follow a configured schedule on your devices to avoid overwhelming the system. 
Staggered Deployment - Minimize simultaneous "web_connect" requests from multiple devices to maintain optimal system responsiveness and prevent peak server loads. 
By adhering to these guidelines, you can maximize the efficiency and reliability of your device's updates using FOTA WEB.
