"WiFi Manager allows us to monitor, manage and report on all aspects of our wireless systems," said Bryan Dearlove, network analyst at Guelph General Hospital, Ontario, Canada and a customer of WiFi Manager. "We monitor our systems, alerting us to errors or security breaches. We manage our systems through WiFi Manager by changing settings and updating firmware whenever required. Professional reports are created and given to management on any aspect required. This system does everything we require and then some in an easy to use web framework," he added.
WiFi Manager 5.0 eliminates that issue by providing a single point solution that can manage all access points. Currently, WiFi Manager has added support for D-Link (Trapeze) wireless switches. They plan to add support for more models of wireless switches in the future. WiFi Manager supports more than eighty different models of thick access points.
Other features in the WiFi Manager 5.0 includes:
o Added support for User Based Views. Network managers can assign access to different devices and resources to different users. Only users who have access to the device can view & manage them.
o Enhanced Notification Profiles to allow users to select devices for which notification is needed.
o Overall enhancements in the UI to facilitate better usability.
o Support for Skins. Now you can switch the look & feel of the WiFi Manager web-client.
o Clean up mobile user information from database with custom interval.
