PLANNING AND DESIGNING

Planning with EWS
Planning with EWS is simple by using the visual monitoring method. With
the ability of combining the topology with floor view it enhances the
usage of applying diagram to indicate the location of the Access Points.

Web Interfaces
Planning with EWS
Using the floor View, images of layout can be imported and allow the indication of
the position of the Access Point

Using the Map View which uses google map, it allows ease of Outdoor
application. Access Point can be emplace to indicate the position. Default
location of map is Taiwan until the EWS is able to get a gateway to the
internet to set its actual location at site.
Planning with EWS

Manage APs with Ease: Cluster Management
The system can group a variety of wireless settings into single
repository so users can just assign this collection of settings to specific
AP upon discovery. It will save time on tedious repeated configuration
steps on individual settings and allows for fast deployment.

This network deployment managed up to 170 APs. Please note that the EWS
Switches manages the AP based on “1st come 1st serve” basis. Therefore,
the 171th AP which that is “plugged” in last cannot be managed.

RSSI: <(-70dBm)
Behavior of any wireless Client - Once it is associated to the
1st AP, it will “STUCK” to it unless it disconnect itself.
RSSI level can be set to facilitate wireless clients to handover
to adjacent AP(s) with better signal. This feature can assist to
maintain the best available signal quality across multiple AP
within the wireless network.
RSSI: -60dBm
