Configuration and Management Protocols

Configuration is handled by our Cisco Certified Engineers at SKYRS, focusing on performance tuning for the specific radio frequency (RF) environment of Pakistan.

Key Configuration Steps

• Regulatory Domain (PK): We prime the controller for the Pakistan (PK) country code. This is critical for ensuring your Access Points operate on legal frequencies and power levels defined by the PTA.

• CleanAir Technology: Activation of Cisco CleanAir to automatically detect and mitigate interference from non-WiFi sources like microwave ovens or industrial machinery.

   

• Guest Anchoring: Setting up secure DMZ-based guest access with custom captive portals for visitors.

• Application Visibility (AVC): Prioritizing critical business traffic (Zoom, ERP) over background data.
