Assistance with Vodafone ACL Setup and Arduino MKR NB 1500 Configuration


Hi ThingSpeak Community,
I hope you are all doing well.
I am currently setting up a Vodafone ACL for a SIM card that will be used in a device destined for a remote charity deployment in a week. The goal is to ensure that the device can reliably upload data to ThingSpeak without any connectivity issues.
Here are the details of my current ACL setup:
  • FQDN: api.thingspeak.com (specified as the API endpoint)
  • IPv4 Address: 184.106.153.149 (found online)
  • Port: (left empty)
I've attached a photo of the setup for reference.
Could you please confirm if the above ACL settings are correct? Additionally, if there are any other considerations or settings I should be aware of for ensuring reliable connectivity with ThingSpeak, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.
Currently, all I am using for the device credentials is the PIN number. Do I need to adjust any settings in the Arduino code or the ACL to maintain stable connectivity with ThingSpeak, especially considering the device will be in a remote location and difficult to access for adjustments?
Your prompt assistance and advice will be immensely valuable, as I want to ensure everything is correctly configured before deployment.
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Arthur

The static IP address will be removed in a future release. It is not recomended for use with new projects.
You haven't provided any code to analyze "Do I need to adjust any settings in the Arduino code". I would at least maye sure you have a fall back if the network connectivity is lost, or if the device fails to make a connection. Perhaps it could save data locally until the connection is strong again.
