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.
