AltoCommand introduction

Altowav's AltoCommand offers advanced access to your network, and is designed to provide management of Altowav networks and individual devices that off-the-shelf tools cannot deliver.

AltoCommand is available in two formats: A subscription-based instance running in the cloud, or pre-installed on a fanless industrial PC designed to operate in your on-prem network.

AltoCommand makes site administration easier in the following ways:

  • The Dashboard quickly brings network issues to the attention of the site administrator:
    • Devices down.
    • Incidents of poor Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), poor Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS), link flapping, and disconnected links.
    • Types and number of devices in your network.
    • Firmware version compliance.
    • Device authentication status, to allow authenticated communication with AltoCommand (AltoPlex devices only).
  • Investigate issues and areas for optimization:
    • View incidents during a specific time period, and see their current status.
    • View and compare graphs of different metrics for a specific Incident, time, link, or device.
    • Visualize links, channels, and device positions on a map.
    • Use analytics to analyze long-term network behavior and link quality.
  • Simplify common administrative tasks, such as:
    • Investigating details and generating log data for specific links or devices.
    • Link quality reporting.
    • Device configuration.
    • Fleet-wide device upgrades.
    • Network setup and device discovery.
    • Incident threshold configuration.
    • Intelligent rebeamforming activities (AltoPlex devices only).
    • Managing users / permissions.
