Tired of CLI Juggling? How to Unify Your PPPoE, Hotspot, and Network Management into a Single Pane of Glass

Ditch the terminal windows and endless config files.

For network engineers, the command-line interface is a second home. It's powerful, it's precise, but let's be honest: managing a growing ISP network through a maze of terminal windows and custom scripts is unsustainable.

You're not just an engineer; you're a firefighter, a planner, and an architect. You need tools that empower you, not hold you back. It's time to talk about a Single Pane of Glass.

The Fragmentation Problem

  • PPPoE Services: User authentication in RADIUS, session control in your router OS, logs in a text file.
  • Hotspot Management: Vouchers in one database, bandwidth limits in another, the captive portal on a separate server.
  • Static IPs: Tracked in a spreadsheet that’s already out of date.

This fragmentation creates complexity, increases the risk of errors, and makes troubleshooting a nightmare. A simple customer change requires multiple steps across different systems.

The Unified Solution: Centralized Control for Critical Services

Imagine managing your entire network operations from one intuitive dashboard. Here’s how it works:

1. Streamlined PPPoE Management

Forget manually editing RADIUS files. You can:

  • Create, enable, or disable PPPoE users in seconds.
  • Set bandwidth limits (upload/download) directly in the user profile.
  • View active sessions and historical connection logs instantly.
  • Diagnose authentication failures without digging through logs.

2. Command Over Hotspot Services

Create a seamless customer experience without the backend hassle:

  • Design Customizable Login Pages (captive portals) that match your brand.
  • Generate vouchers with specific time or data limits directly in the system.
  • Enforce bandwidth limits and access policies per user or voucher code.
  • Manage user authentication from the same place you manage everything else.

3. Confident Network Oversight

  • Geospatial Mapping: Visualize your entire network. See customer locations, router positions, and coverage areas on an interactive map. Plan expansions and troubleshoot coverage gaps visually.
  • Real-time Monitoring: Get Push Notifications directly to your phone for critical events. Know about a node outage before the tickets start pouring in.

Reclaim Your Time for What Matters

By unifying PPPoE, hotspot, and network management, you free yourself from repetitive tasks. This means more time for strategic projects—like optimizing network performance, planning for fiber expansion, or finally implementing that new service you've been dreaming of.

Stop juggling interfaces and start commanding your network.
