Peplink uses the URL download.peplink.com for it’s various methods of updating a devices firmware:
— device webUi → system → firmare → check for updates’ button
— IC2 firmware manager (org, group, and device levels)
Simplecom says this could be an issue for potential customers with a large amount of devices on a private network that cannot whitelist FQDNs. This would require that they need to manually upload the firmware to every device instead of being able to utlilize the IC2 firmware management features.
The current customer with this issue only has a few devices now but has the potential for ~300 for the whole SCADA project that is ongoing. This would be a huge pain when needing to update firmware.
Thank you,
