How to remotely manage the new APs?

 

 

Enable Remote Management

 1. Check the box of Enable Remote Management

 2. Select Insights as Management Type and Cloud as Connection Type. This option will let AP connect to the Insights cloud server (ap.insights.altaitechnologies.com)

 3. Select one of the following options for the management type on both radios: (1) Radio0(2.4G); and (2) Radio1(5G)

    Not Management: Under this mode, all the radio configuration and statistics monitoring will be disabled in Insights
 
    Full Management: Under this mode, the radio will be fully managed by Insights. Any configuration changes made on the AP radio and WLAN profiles in Insights will be provisioned to the AP. In general, this option is selected when the device is operating in AP mode
 
    Monitor Mode: Under this mode, all the radio settings in Insights will become non-configurable. Also, any configuration changes made on the WLAN profiles in Insights will not be provisioned to the AP. In general, this option is selected when the device is operating in Station Mode, Bridge Mode and Repeater Mode for radio statistics monitoring

 4. Click "Submit" button

Note: Make sure the firewall and IP routing settings of the local network allow the AP traffic to reach Internet via local management VLAN for the AP connection with Insights cloud server.

 
 
 
 
 

Save & Apply AP Configuration Change

  Note: Be reminded to click "Save & Apply" at the top right corner of WebUI to make all configuration changes take effect.

 
 
 
 

AP Registration 

  • Click "Add" to register a new AP in Insights-Access Point.  
  • A "New AP" window pops up. Give a name for the AP. This name setting will be provisioned to AP as "System Name" once the AP is connected with Insights.
  • Enter the AP Serial Number. You can directly copy it from AP WebUI "About > Product Serial Number".
  • Click "Create" button to confirm the AP registration to the organization.

Note: The status will turn from "Red Icon" to "Blue Icon" for the AP entry once the AP is successfully connected with Insights. On AP WebUI, it will also show the status of Remote MGT as "Connected".
