Use the Schedule Tasks feature to control the time(s), or day(s) of a week, or date of a month to automatically perform the following task.

From here, you can troubleshoot any issues you have with access points connected to the network. This feature is designed primarily for administrators to verify and test the link route between the switch and the access point. A troubleshooting solution is provided by the system so that administrators can know where the problem lies. Note that the topology of the network needs to be saved for this function to work properly.

Choosing an Access Point to Diagnose

A list will show the current status of access points on the network. Select an access point to begin a diagnostic test. If multiple access points are connected, use the search bar in the top right of the page to find the access point you wish to troubleshoot. The controller will run a diagnostic test for the selected access point. Click Start to run the test. The test takes a few seconds to complete. Afterwards, the results will display on the page.

In addition to EWS management switch’s check code, use this feature to generate a list of 'Check Codes' for the APs that your EWS switch is current managing. Check Codes are used for registering devices to ezMaster for remote management.

SSL certificates enable device or user identification, as well as secure communications. Administrators can create a self-signed SSL certificate to secure communications between the switch and access points. Note that access points will disconnect and reconnect using a new certificate upon applying changes.

Generate New Certificate

Enter the information below to generate a request for an SSL certificate for the controller.

Restore to Default Certificate

Click on Restore button under Advance Options to restore to the default SSL Certificate settings.

The EWS switch can be configured to automatically check for new firmware updates for your EnSky devices. The icon below will appear on the upper right corner of the user interface when a new update is available. Simply click on the icon and follow the on-screen instructions to update your devices.

Check updates from specific server

Apart from copying firmware image files into the specific http/ftp path, an index file is required in the same folder.

Follow the instructions below for creating the index file.

1. Create a new .txt file with the name "lastfwlist.txt".

2. In the file, create entries based on the format below and save the file.

<Model Name>,<Firmware Version>,<File Name>,<MD5>,<SKU>
