About Apple@Work: Bradley Chambers managed corporate IT networks from 2009 to 2021. How Apple works.

how it works

• Automatic detection: Telepod recognizes all connected devices and marks those that are in DFU mode with a clear “DFU” icon.
• Quick start: To initiate DFU mode, simply connect a device to your Mac host’s DFU port, move it to the hub, and repeat the process with the next device.
• batch: Once all devices are connected, a single workflow restores their operating systems to the latest version, ensuring consistency and saving time.

Telepod’s secondary DFU mode is designed for integration with hubs from Kallysta and Cambrionix, providing reliability and efficiency for even the largest fleets.

why it helps

For IT teams, this feature eliminates the hassle of manual DFU startup. No more fumbling with buttons or remembering model-specific steps. Assisted DFU mode ensures that each device is restored quickly and correctly, allowing technicians to focus on the big picture—deployment and strategy, not the details.

It’s ideal for setups in batch and sort workflows, reducing downtime and streamlining the entire equipment preparation process.
