WiFi Manager

WiFi Manager enables IT teams to upgrade firmware of access points. Wireless LAN administrators can import the firmware image into WiFi Manager and apply it to select access points simultaneously. For ease of use WLAN administrators can group access points, based on vendor/model/firmware/channel etc., and apply firmware to select group. WLAN administrators can also schedule the upgrade to happen at a later time. WiFi Manager firmware management capabilities include:

• Firmware upgrade to single access point
• Firmware upgrade to multiple access points
• Scheduled firmware upgrade
• Firmware audit

Firmware upgrade to single access point/ multiple access points

WiFi Manager allows Wireless LAN operators to import the latest firmware image into the system. Once imported the firmware can be associated to any number of access points.

Scheduled firmware upgrade

Critical maintenance operations such as firmware upgrade are better done at off-office hours where there is less wireless traffic. WiFi Manager can schedule these upgrades for later execution and thus enables Wireless LAN operators to carry on maintenance operations even at their absence.

Firmware audit

Every firmware upgrade that is executed using WiFi Manager is logged in the system for later auditing. The status of the upgrade, whether it was success or a failure, is also logged in along with the list of access points to which the firmware was applied.
