One-Click Update
Notification will appear when new firmware is available.
Receive new firmware notifications in GUI so users can conveniently check that the current firmware on their APs is the most up-to-date version.
Bulk Firmware UpgradeUpgrade firmware for managed APs: Single or multiple units to save time, and avoid repeating the process over and over again.
E-mail AlertezMaster’s event log is designed to monitor the operation of both the system and the APs by recording the network event messages it generates during normal operation. These events may provide vital information about system activity that can help in the identification and solutions of system problems.
When an alarm event is detected, ezMaster will record it in the events log, and if configured, will send an email warning.
