Nebula Control Center (NCC) WLAN Enhancements: Mesh Uplink Signal Display

Zyxel_Claudia

In environments with mesh networks, understanding the signal quality of mesh uplinks is crucial for optimizing performance. In NCC 18.20, Zyxel has added an uplink signal strength indicator for access points connected via mesh. This enhancement allows administrators to monitor mesh link quality directly within the site topology.

Key Benefits

1. Improved Signal Visibility:
   • When hovering over a mesh-connected access point in the topology view, users can now see the uplink signal strength for that device. This information helps determine the quality of the connection between the access point and its uplink.
2. Easier Troubleshooting:
   • With real-time insight into uplink signal quality, administrators can quickly identify areas with weak signals that may affect network performance. This enables faster troubleshooting and adjustments, such as relocating devices or optimizing positioning for better connectivity.
3. Enhanced Network Optimization:
   • By regularly monitoring mesh uplink strength, users can maintain optimal mesh configurations and ensure that all access points are receiving adequate signal strength for reliable performance.

How to Use the Mesh Uplink Signal Display

To view the uplink signal strength for a mesh access point:

1. Go to Site Topology in NCC.
2. Locate the mesh access point and hover over it to see detailed information.
3. The uplink signal strength is displayed, allowing you to assess connection quality quickly.

Summary

The latest NCC WLAN enhancements improve the usability and functionality of wireless network management.
