=== Answers ===

==== How should I mount the device in the vehicle or asset? ====

Transight devices support multiple mounting options such as:

• Adhesive pads

• Zip ties
 [[#Questions|Back to Questions]]

==== Are the devices water and dust resistant? ====

Yes. Entry-level trackers are IP54-rated, while rugged models offer IP67 protection.
 [[#Questions|Back to Questions]]

==== How do I know if the device is powered on and connected? ====

Check the LED indicators:

• Power

• GSM/Network

• GPS

Each LED gives visual feedback on device status.
 [[#Questions|Back to Questions]]

==== Does the device support firmware updates over the air (FOTA)? ====

Yes. Most devices support FOTA and COTA using GPRS/SMS or the cloud platform.
 [[#Questions|Back to Questions]]

==== Is internet access required during installation? ====

Yes. Internet is required to verify server connectivity and test protocol communication (e.g., TCP, HTTP, or SMS).
 [[#Questions|Back to Questions]]

==== How do I verify GPS/GNSS functionality during setup? ====

Ensure:

• Clear view of the sky

• Outdoor environment

Devices use GPS, GLONASS, NavIC, etc., and offer <2.5m CEP accuracy in ideal conditions.
 [[#Questions|Back to Questions]]

==== Can the device be installed on electric vehicles (EVs)? ====

Yes. Advanced models support wide voltage and low power usage, ideal for EVs.
 [[#Questions|Back to Questions]]

==== What should I do if the device doesn’t come online after installation? ====

Troubleshooting steps:

• Check power and connections

• Verify SIM/APN settings

• Ensure network signal

• Reboot device

• Observe LEDs

• Contact Transight support if unresolved
