Central Management with DrayTek VigorACS

The DrayTek products can be managed by the VigorACS central management system; a Cloud or Self-Hosted platform which can manage most DrayTek products - routers, wireless access points and Ethernet switches, giving you complete visibility and control of your DrayTek product estate, even without a DrayTek Vigor router on site.

VigorACS is now available in two versions; VigorACS 2 and VigorACS 3:

VigorACS 2

Available as Cloud and Self-Hosted services. This gives you full control and oversight of all your DrayTek products, with automation of firmware updates, notification of disconnected VPNs & WANs. With options for reporting and advanced provisioning facilities, to batch configure many Routers, Switches and Wireless APs at once, across many sites.

DrayTek Access Points can be managed on-site by the VigorConnect local management service which is a stand alone software package you can install on a local Windows machine.

VigorConnect enables you to centrally control, manage and administer multiple AP devices installed around your building/campus. It simplifies the initial setup through device discovery to add all your VigorAPs into the system and then allow you to provision them quickly by deploying your wireless profile to the devices.

VigorConnect makes it easier to complete maintenance tasks such as firmware upgrades and configuration backups and scheduled gives control over when they occur. Monitoring, logs, alarms, and floor plan all help to make it easier to manage your network.

Central Management with a DrayTek Router

Most of the DrayTek routers come with the build-in wireless controller that can centrally manage Vigor Access Points. Set your APs with pre-defined profiles to match the wireless SSIDs, passwords, and manage your wireless traffic with features such as load-balancing.

Manage the whole VigorSwitch range with Router-based Central Switch Management, or from the cloud with the VigorACS Central Management platform (selected models). Monitor network usage, provision VLAN configurations, set individual port rates and schedule port operation all from a single point of management.
