MERAKI New Feature Alert – Prepaid cards for billing SSIDs http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/2013/03/meraki-new-feature-alert-prepaid-cards-for-billing-ssids/ http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/2013/03/meraki-new-feature-alert-prepaid-cards-for-billing-ssids/#comments Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:30:40 +0000 tina http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/?p=3238 NEW FEATURE ALERT – Prepaid cards for billing SSIDs

With Meraki you can easily setup a billing SSID and charge users for wifi internet access. This currently requires a major credit card, with Meraki doing the payment processing and payout.

With prepaid cards, you can create a batch of PIN codes with a user-defined value and time that can be sold to customers, or given away for short term internet access.

You can configure your billing SSIDs to accept prepaid cards, credit cards, or both. If you want to take the list of prepaid cards #’s and actually print physical cards, or stickers, you can do a Microsoft Word mail merge, using the prepaid card csv file.

You can create prepaid card’s under Configure->Prepaid Cards.

The advent of pervasive WLAN promised to accelerate productivity and profitability gains even further. The challenge now is to identify the right solution that can truly optimize your supply chain operations and make this promise a reality.

The warehouse environment creates serious challenges for traditional WLAN deployments. Though warehouses are typically open spaces that would seem suited to wireless signal propagation, their construction and layout can be problematic, with metal structures and corridors making coverage difficult to achieve. Other obstacles include a changing RF landscape due to the movement of goods and roaming and re-authentication issues that can impact productivity of a highly mobile workforce.

How Remote Data Backup Works

Functionality

The Gigasoft software runs a daily fully automated offsite data backup of your important files and data.

After installation of the software you select the files and/or directories that you wish to backup.

Then after encryption and compression a full offsite back-up will be made from the selected files. These files are sent to the Gigasoft offsite servers for safe storage through a SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connection.

From that moment on, a daily incremental backup will be made of all new and changed files. This is at a time of the day determined by yourself. Your data is constantly being replicated from our data centre to another secure data storage location to ensure that there’s always a copy available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.

You can access and use your remote backup data at any time and from anywhere through a standard internet browser.

You will receive reports concerning data backup status, file sizes as well as an overview of all activities.
