1. What is OTA and how it works

Dragino gateways support firmware OTA auto-update. In OTA update, the gateway will connect to Dragino update server and get the latest firmware and update it to the gateway for bug fix and new features

In below case, gateway will connect to Dragino server to check for updates:

  • Every reboot
  • Every midnight (~UTC time: 12:00)
