Chapter 1 Introducing Vantage Access

1.2 Key Features

This section describes the main features of Vantage Access.

Remote Device Management

You can remotely manage compatible devices through Vantage Access. In addition, you can set Vantage Access to update service provision parameters (such as the WAN connection type, IP address, etc). Changes can be applied to more than one ZyXEL device.

Device Firmware Upgrades

Batch download device firmware from Vantage Access (after downloading the firmware from a web site) to multiple devices located anywhere, minimizing time, effort and room for error as well as ensuring firmware consistency across devices. Batch upgrades can be scheduled using the upgrade scheduler. Device owners can be notified automatically and reports can be generated detailing any device’s firmware upload history.

Device Monitors and Logs

Monitor the status of all your devices in one application. You can also look at the logs for all your devices in Vantage Access. Configuration changes logs are also stored for future reference.

Statistical Reports

Stores reports for historical analysis. These reports include device registration logs, firmware upgrade history logs and access logs.

File Management and Data Maintenance

You can backup Vantage Access database (containing the device information) and restore them later.

Multiple Administration Level

Vantage Access provides different login account types (root, manager and call center) that allow separation of system, device and user management.
