Zyxel Nebula Control Center Release Note

Common NCC (Organization,Site-wide,etc.):

1. The MSP Admins & teams feature sets have been redesigned. The new roles not only have clear definitions and a hierarchical structure but also facilitate operational automation such as ownership transfer of customer organizations. This makes it significantly easier for the MSP to manage their own admins & teams and their corresponding customer organizations & groups and centrally manage all the administrators in their customer organizations in a simpler and more intuitive way, and scale business seamlessly. (Nebula MSP Pack license is required)
2. Together with Circle, Pay-as-You-Go (PAYG) mode is added to ease the license renewal process for partners.
3. Org-wide configuration management supports synchronizing settings: SSID Profile, Switch Port Profile and Switch PoE Schedule. (Nebula Pro Pack license is required)
   
   
4. Topology (Nebula Plus/Pro Pack license is required)
   - Enhanced the device icons to mirror the actual product image.
   - Now supports PoE connectivity, trace client path and refresh button.
   
   
   
   - The uplink device's name and notes are now editable.
