In this chapter, you’ll learn how to implement User Group based Device Access Restrictions with the help of Device Views. By assigning one of these Views to a User Group, you control which Devices the Users in that Group can see. Implementing Device View restrictions allows members of User Groups to focus on only those […]
Nectus AWS monitoring does not require root user permissions to performs it’s actions. Actually it requires a small set of permissions, so it’s more secure and reasonable to have a special AWS user’s account having that minimal set of grants. This guide will show to create such user’s account. First login to the AWS console […]
Creating User Accounts and User Groups In this chapter, you’ll learn how to create User Accounts and assign them to User Groups. You’ll also learn how to create User Groups and set their Access Rights. The specific topics we will cover in this chapter are: Creating User Accounts Creating User Groups Setting User Group Access […]
Troubleshooting of any wireless problems usually starts with determination of specific Access Point where client is currently associated with and tracking wireless client’s roaming behavior in time. Access Point detection helps to understand current RSSI levels at given selected channel and presence of alternative AP at the client’s location. Nectus provides basic tools that make locating […]
Generating Wireless Heat Maps Wireless Heat Map is the visual representation of the wireless signal levels at different locations of specific selected area. Area can be a building floor or outdoors. We read signal level directly at the antennas of the Wireless APs and calculate signal attenuation with a distance and overlay resulting signal levels […]
