1.2 Key Features
This section describes the main features of Vantage Access.
Remote Device Management
You can remotely manage compatible devices through Vantage Access. In addition, you can
set Vantage Access to update service provision parameters (such as the WAN connection type,
IP address, etc). Changes can be applied to more than one ZyXEL device.
Device Firmware Upgrades
Batch download device firmware from Vantage Access (after downloading the firmware from
a web site) to multiple devices located anywhere, minimizing time, effort and room for error as
well as ensuring firmware consistency across devices. Batch upgrades can be scheduled using
the upgrade scheduler. Device owners can be notified automatically and reports can be
generated detailing any device’s firmware upload history.
Device Monitors and Logs
Monitor the status of all your devices in one application. You can also look at the logs for all
your devices in Vantage Access. Configuration changes logs are also stored for future
reference.
Statistical Reports
Stores reports for historical analysis. These reports include device registration logs, firmware
upgrade history logs and access logs.
File Management and Data Maintenance
You can backup Vantage Access database (containing the device information) and restore
them later.
Multiple Administration Level
Vantage Access provides different login account types (root, manager and call center) that
allow separation of system, device and user management.
