FOTA WEB Files menu

FOTA WEB supports various tasks that require files to be used (Update configuration, update firmware, upload TLS certificate...). The files section on FOTA WEB is used to manage all your files for easy and quick use with the task system.

Availability of files for task creation

Depending on the company and its place in the hierarchy, the file uploaded by this company (FW, configurations, etc.) will have a different access range.

Let's imagine that we have the following hierarchy of companies:

• A (client level 1)
  • B (virtual level 2)
  • C (virtual level 2)
    • D (virtual level 3 child of C)

In this case, depending on which company the file was uploaded to, the following options will be available for creating tasks:

• A can create task for B with A file (straight downwards);
• A can create task for D with C file (straight downwards);

Delete

Delete menu allows the user to delete selected files from the FOTA WEB. The files that should be deleted can be selected by just adding a checkmark next to them, filtering them,

or listing the ID's of the files in a .csv file.

NOTE: Scenario files can not be deleted from the FOTA WEB files menu.

NOTE: configuration files that were downloaded via Devices -> Create task -> Receive configuration shall appear in FILES tab.

Configuration files can be downloaded to your PC from FILES menu. Configuration files can be opened only with the FM configurator.

To download you should locate your file from the list and click on the Download Button
