Ubiquiti Networks
AirControl beta
Centrally Manage 1000s of Ubiquiti Devices
Loaded with Powerful Features
AirControl is a powerful and intuitive web based server network management application which allows operators to centrally manage entire networks of Ubiqutii devices.
-
Network Map
View access points and stations on a Google Road, Terrain, or Satellite Picture Map to aid in installation planning. Export to KML.
-
Monitor Device Status
View status, information, and statistics of devices managed by AirControl on customizable and easy-to-read graphs.
-
Mass Firmware Upgrade
Upgrade individual devices or groups of devices with synchronization for wireless association dependency.
-
Web UI Access
Access the AirControl user interface through a web browser (HTTP or HTTPS); no installation is required on the client.
-
Manage Groups of Devices
User-defined, dynamic, and auto device groups provide easy navigation and device management.
-
Task Scheduling
Schedule tasks such as firmware update, reboot, IP range scan, device configuration backups, ping watchdog and custom commands execution.
- Discover Ubiquiti devices
- Discover Ubiquiti devices (access points and stations) within subnet(s) associated to the servers network interface(s). The discovery scan works exactly as found in the existing Ubiquiti discovery tool. In addition, for devices not discovered through scan, there is an option to add a device manually by specifying its IP address or an IP range to scan for devices.
- Monitor Device Status
- Devices that are under "management" will periodically report runtime status to the AirControl server, which will monitor status updates.
- Firmware update
- Devices that are under management can be updated from AirControl. Multiple devices can be updated as a single batch. Firmware images are uploaded by the administrator into AirControl prior to device update.
- View runtime status
- The main screen allows reporting on any of the runtime attributes from the device in either the device table or the device details view. The output can be customized.
- Device Grouping
- A device tree provides for easy navigation and device selection. Built-in auto-groupings categorize discovered devices by network ID (ESSID) and firmware version. The device tree can be customized by adding custom device groups ("watch lists"). These can be either static groups or dynamic groups, based on reporting criteria.
- Device activity log/history
- Reporting of history for specific device in the details area, for the entire system in the log screen and for current activity with the "Live Log" popup. The main screen will also indicate in-progress activity.
- Access to UI through web
- Server application with access to user interface through web browser (HTTP or HTTPS). Multiple users can access single server, no installation required on client other than the web browser. Broad platform support (server runs on every platform for which Sun's Java 6 is available).
- Mass Firmware Upgrade
- Automatic server updates as patches and new releases become available. These updates preserve your data (unlike uninstall/reinstall).
- Charts and Graphs
- Historic device statistics reporting through charts. Attributes for which to collect history can be configured and charts plotted for a selected period (minute, hour, day) and number of data points.
- Tasks Scheduling
- Schedule firmware update, reboot, IP range scan, device configuration backups, ping watchdog and custom commands execution. The start and end dates of tasks can be defined as well as the interval period (minutes, hours, days).
- Speed Test
- Launching this utility (compatible only with firmware 5.1 or higher) allows running an Iperf speed test between compatible devices, or between a device and the AirControl software (requires installation of Iperf software).
- Device configuration backup and restore
- Allows for remote backups or restoration of multiple device configurations. A new backup file will be made in case of changes between the latest backup and the actual configuration.
- Network Map
- Display AP or Station locations overlaid onto a Google Road, Terrain, or Satellite Picture Map. It allows display of device status on a map view, planning new AP location, and provide more information for installers about reference points for a new installation, to mention only a few of all possible uses.
