FOTA 2.x - desktop application
File: fota_2.10.8_setup.exe (or later)
It updates the firmware of FM devices over the cellular network.
It requires an SMS service.
FOTA 2.x requires additional SQL server as a database
Installed and licensed application is needed as well as FM36XY device as a Modem for SMS dispatcher
FOTA 2 is not recommended for new projects.
Compliant devices:
- Most FMxxxx devices
FOTA 3.x (lite) - desktop application
File: fota_3.0.8_setup.exe (or later)
It updates the firmware of FM devices over the cellular network.

Fota 3 is much easier to use than FOTA 2 because it has its own database and doesn't require any SQL server.

Installed and licensed application is needed as well as FM36XY device as a Modem for SMS dispatcher

Port: 5000
Period: 720 minutes (every 720 minutes device shall connect to FOTA)
Using VPN SIM cards
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 http://fm.teltonika.lt 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:
- 2000
- 3000
- 4000
- 5000
- 6000
- 7000
- 2000
When using VPN SIM cards, you should still configure http://fm.teltonika.lt domain in your configurator, not the plain IP address.
Web Access
FOTA is reached using domain address http://fm.teltonika.lt. FOTA uses HTTP ports 80 and 85 for authentication so if your network has HTTP proxy service or is blocking outgoing traffic – make sure that those two ports are added to exceptions in network proxy service and firewall.
