Top Ten Reasons to Upgrade to VIP Release 2.1.0.
 |
1. Improved Fault Management with Email
Alarm.
The new e-mail alarm feature notifies you via e-mail when an error in the network has occurred. Notifications can be sent for a variety of alarms including when a radio is rebooted, an RF link is dropped, or when the received signal strength drops below the fade margin set for the link. You can have these notifications sent via e-mail directly to your cell phone so that you are kept up to date on the status of your network. You can even choose to have the e-mail filtered to different members of your technical support team—integrating into your technical support escalation model.

2. Graphical Web Interface.
An attractive new feature included in Release 2.1.0 is the built-in Graphical
Web Interface. The Web Interface mirrors all the options and functionality
for configuring and monitoring radios in your VIP network as the CLI interface,
but in a familiar point-and click environment. The only requirement to use
the web interface is a modern java-capable web-browser. The Graphical Web Interface
reduces the learning curve on the VIP since you are not required to memorize
the CLI commands. The complete functionality is provided in an intuitive point
and click environment.

3. Better Control with Configuration Files.
Save time configuring new nodes. You no longer have to configure each VIP node by connecting a laptop to the serial port of each radio. As soon as a new node is added to the network (typically through Plug-and-Play) a configuration file can be remotely downloaded to its flash-file system, which contains all the necessary configuration parameters.
|
4. Customize Your Network Using Auto-Configuration Scripts.
In addition to the Configuration files, VIP Release 2.1.0 adds the ability to
load and run script files. A configuration script differs from a configuration
file in that it can run a set of commands on the VIP Radio. The script is downloaded
to the auto-run directory of the VIP radio and is automatically run the next
time the VIP 110-24 powers up.
|
5. Beef-up Security with User Permission Roles.
The new VIP firmware supports the ability to create two different types of users; a read-only User account and a Supervisor account. The Supervisor Account has the ability to change configuration parameters and execute commands. These granular user roles add to your overall network security strategy by allowing you to tightly control access to the VIP network.

 |
6. Priority Transmission Queuing.
Roles.
Release 2.1.0 improves on the priority queuing available in previous software releases. Packets are placed in priority queues based on their Type of Service or VLAN tags. This queuing determines what order traffic is placed in the RF queue. Priority Queuing allows network operators to provide differentiated services to their customers. For example, set different priorities for a VoIP line, a high-speed business VLAN and low priority internet browsing.
|
 |
7. Password Recovery.
Prior to Release 2.1.0 the only way to recover a lost password Challenge Password
was to physically mail the entire unit back to the factory and go through the
RMA process. Now the process for password recovery is simplified. If you forget
your administrator password, enter a special command at the login prompt and
the VIP will return a Challenge Password Key. Send this key to EION Wireless
technical support and we will provide you with a Challenge Password License
Key to unlock your radio.
|
8. Dynamic Power Control.
Dynamic power control cuts down on interference issues and ensures your radios are operating optimally for the conditions. A Leaf with dynamic power control will automatically adjust its transmit power to its parent node based on the link margin, transmission speed and signal strength.
|
 |
9. Add Services using VLAN Support.
Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN) allow the network administrator to plan and segment a network into multiple Local Area Networks at the Leaf, Repeater or Root Level. Groups of users using a common VLAN can communicate securely over a LAN without being seen by any other group or individual using the network. The new integrated VLAN feature in VIP Release 2.1.0 increases network security with out the use of any additional hardware.
|
 |
10. Faster Installations with Plug-and-Play.
RF Plug-and-Play enables you to install and configure Leaf nodes in your VINE
network, without having to connect to a computer to the VIP’s serial
port. On power-up a new Leaf Node immediately searches for and connects to
the strongest parent signal. Through a series of audible pings, an installer
can quickly align the VIP antenna. The leaf is automatically configured to
work on the parent it attaches to.
