Network requirements

If your SIM cards are within Mobile Operator’s VPN (private APN), the following must be ensured and paid special attention.
1. Must ensure that domain fota.teltonika.lt (for FT devices) and domain fm.teltonika.lt (for older devices e.g. FMBXXX) can be resolved from within Operator’s network.
2. Following IP and ports (egress) must be allowed by the operator.

  • IP: 35.156.7.140
  • Ports:
    • 5000 (TCP)
    • 5055 (UDP)
    • 5005 (TCP)
    • 6000 (TCP)

When using VPN SIM cards, you should still configure the domain in your configurator, not the plain IP address.

How to access FOTA WEB

FOTA WEB is reached using domain address https://fota.teltonika.lt. FOTA WEB uses HTTPS port 443, so if your network has HTTPS proxy service or is blocking outgoing traffic – make sure that those two ports are added to exceptions in network proxy service and firewall.

1. Invitation for FOTA WEB is being delivered to user e-mail. Press the URL to create a password for your account. 2. After pressing the URL Link you will be asked to create a password for your account. 3. Last step is logging into FOTA WEB with the newly created account by entering your email address and password for your account. Email address is the same as the address you've received the invitation.

Select company

At the top-right corner, you can find the Company selector button. Pressing on a button will open a list of parent and child companies. Selecting a company allows for filtering resources available such as devices, task groups, groups, users, and files. It is an easy way to separate resources and make sure that you are working with the correct ones. Company selector button behavior:

  • When a single company is selected, you will see the company button label change to the selected company's name.
  • When two or more companies are selected, you will see a number of companies selected instead of an icon and "Companies" label.
  • When nothing is selected, you will see everything available and "All companies" label.

Note: Every company has to be selected individually.

Notifications

Notifications will inform you when certain actions are completed such as devices firmware got updated, configuration got uploaded to or downloaded from the device and also notifies when devices are transferred from one company to another or moved from main company to child company.

FOTA Web availability expectations

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.
