Maintenance suggestions:
Perform quarterly firmware updates via the web interface to ensure compatibility with the latest cloud protocols and security patches. Inspect Ethernet and power connections monthly for looseness or corrosion, especially in humid environments. Monitor data transmission logs to identify anomalies (e.g., dropped packets), which may indicate network issues. Clean dust from vents biannually with compressed air, avoiding direct airflow on circuit components. Store spare ICMFA000000-ABAC modules in anti-static packaging at 10–30°C with <60% humidity, testing connectivity annually to confirm functionality.
