Network Management Systems are an essential tool for multi-site deployments. Ruijie Cloud is designed for that specific purpose and is completely free. Ruijie Cloud allows users to quickly and easily deploy networks with minimal setup complexity.
You can watch our video on the topic, or read about it below.
In this blog we'll be discussing the different methods network engineers can use to manage Reyee devices and where they are most suitable. If you are not familiar with Reyee products, we recommend checking out our other videos on our blog.
Ruijie Cloud App
The Ruijie Cloud App is available to download on Android and IOS. The mobile app is the most efficient and accessible option for network professionals which allows users to create and manage projects on the fly. Projects are the individual networks linked to your Ruijie account. After creating a project, users access a dashboard that shows the network topology. It also shows connected client information, their wireless experiences, as well as the amount of data used.
There are numerous settings available that allow users to configure guest networks, set parental controls, manage users or user groups, and several other features that are based on the scenario chosen for the project.
Some tools can be used to configure, test, or optimize the network. Users can create a network report which can be shared with other users to let them know how the network is configured. You can also share the project with other admins so they can collaborate at the click of a button. In essence, this is for network professionals on the go with access to most major functions available in the cloud.
Ruijie Cloud Browser
Ideally for admins who are looking for more granular control of their projects, Ruijie Cloud via a web browser is the way to go.
This browser allows for configurations that are not available on the app. For example creating captive portals, managing vouchers, and setting notifications to specific contact groups. You can even plot out the geographical locations of your sites through Google Maps.
There are plenty more features to this platform, so if you're in front of a computer, this is the best way to manage Reyee networks.
eWeb Direct Management
eWeb Direct Management offers a direct connection to the device's web UI which can be accessed via the cloud by selecting the device and selecting the eWeb option. This creates a secure tunnel to the device without any additional configuration.
The eWeb login gives you access to advanced features which may not be available on the Cloud interface. This offers users maximum flexibility to fine-tune individual devices which is especially useful for Reyee gateways as they offer a lot more features than the other products.
Reyee Router App
The Reyee Router App is available to download on Android and IOS and will work with routers from Reyee's EW Series. The router app is designed for end users. It provides a basic, but still informative, overview of what is happening on your WiFi router.
This includes the overall load on the network, a list of connected clients, throughput on the WAN connection, as well as performance of each client device. You can configure parental control schedules, create a guest wifi network, and blacklist devices.
In the settings tab, you get some basic diagnostic and optimization tools to help fix any issues. Advanced user settings include changes to the management password, the LAN IP, and DHCP settings. You can share the home network with another user or even a technician. It's intuitive and perfect for making small adjustments to your network.
Using this in conjunction with the cloud is a great way to empower the end user while potentially reducing time on support calls.
Regardless of your role in managing a Reyee network, there are suitable options for all types of users. This brand adds a lot of value and since the barrier to entry is so low, it enables anyone to provide a professional network service.
