Creating a Network on Network Manager
Overview: what we’re doing
This guide is intended to help you set up your first cloud-managed wireless
mesh network with Datto Network Manager. Network Manager is a cloud-based
network controller that makes it easy for anyone to build, manage, and monitor
wireless networks from anywhere in the world.
This guide will assist you in setting up a new network on the Datto Network Manager web application. For easier, faster setup, use the Datto Networking for iOS or Datto Networking apps. No matter which version you start with, you can switch between the web and mobile apps seamlessly.
Here’s what’s about to happen
- Log into your Datto Partner Portal
- We’ll create a new network on Network Manager.
- We’ll add access points to the network.
- We’ll physically install the access points.
- We’ll do some basic network configuration.
This guide is not intended to cover every aspect of Network Manager. To learn more about planning your network, view the Datto Knowledge Base (kb.datto.com)
What you’ll need To set up your network, you’ll need the following
- One or more Datto Network Manager-compatible wireless devices, such as the DSE641T & DSE641TL, AP840 or AP840E
- An Internet connection with at least one Ethernet port available on your modem or router
- one Ethernet cable and a 802.3at POE source
- A computer with a browser pointed to datto.com, or an iOS or Android device running the Datto Network Manager App
Terminology
We’ll make this process as easy and nontechnical as possible. Here are a few
key words that will help.
- Network: A group of computers or devices that can talk to each other (in our case, wirelessly). Gateway: A Network Manager-compatible router that is connected to the Internet (usually through a DSL, cable, or LAN connection).
- Repeater: A Network Manager-compatible router that is not connected to the Internet that repeats the signals from local computers and other access points to the gateway.
- Access point: A generic name for an Network Manager-compatible router/access point which can be either a Gateway or a Repeater. You may also see these called “Nodes.”
All Datto Networking Access Points configure themselves: they become gateways or repeaters depending on if they are connected to the Internet or not.
- Step 1 : Log into the Datto Partner Portal(datto.com) and Navigate to the Network Status Page Then Select to Add Device, as shown in the Diagram below in the top right corner of the screen You will now be automatically redirected to the Datto Networking Manager webpage, as seen below: Now you may create new network to add this device to, or navigate to the network you would like to add this device to. For this guide we will be setting up a new Network. So click “Create Network”
- Step 2 : Create a new network
You’ll automatically be taken to a page, similar to the one below, to create your first network.
Fill in the following information
- Network name : This is the name you want to give this specific network. You will use this name to make changes to the network, display reports, etc.
- Password : This is the password for local administrators and should be different from your master account login. This limits access and prevents users from making changes to your network.
- Email : Enter your email address or the address of a local administrator to contact. We will never share this with others.
- Network Location : Enter a street address for the first access point. To add access points, you will be shown a map that you click on to place access points. By entering an address here, you will be centered on the correct location for your network.
- Email for Notifications: Enter the email addresses, separated by spaces, for all people you’d like to receive “outage” notifications. These are sent hourly.
- When finished, click “Create” to save your new network settings.
Step 3: Add access points to your network
- It’s time to let Network Manager know which access points you want to include in the network. Adding them to Network Manager will allow you to manage and monitor the access points from anywhere.
- Navigate to the Manage > Access Points screen.
- There are three options to add access points to your network: click the “Add New” button to add access points one at a time by clicking on a map, or use the down arrow to the right of that to add access points in bulk.
If you add access points the default way, you’ll be taken to the Map tab of the Access Points page. A Google map, centered on the address you entered when you created the network, will show a popup to enter your first access point. You can often (depending on location) click the “Satellite” view button and zoom in for a closer look.
Fill in the following information
-
Name: Enter a name for this access point. This name is used to reference its location and will be displayed in reports. It does not affect users.
-
MAC address: A MAC address is a sequence of 12 numbers and the letters A-F often separated by colons (Eg: 00:02:6F:8A:B2:6E). This can be found on a label on the bottom of the router and on
the side of the product box. -
Description: You can enter optional descriptive text that will be shown on the reports. This is typically used to keep notes on where the access point is installed, etc.
Click “Add” and repeat the process for each additional access point.
If you need to add a large number of access points, you may want to add them
in bulk. You can do so two ways: by entering the MAC addresses in a text field
(one per line), or by uploading a list of access points (along with optional
name, location, channel overrides, etc.) in a CSV file.
For both of these options, your access points will be added to the map based
on your network location (similar to how the Datto Networking iOS and Android
apps add access points). You can reposition these access points on the map
after adding them.
When adding by CSV, the CSV file must be in a specific format. You can
download a sample CSV file here.
Step 4: Install the access points
Once your access points are added to Network Manager, it’s time to install
them. If you’re using an enclosure, video installation guides are available
here.
First, connect your Gateway unit to the Internet with an Ethernet cable. This
can be plugged in directly to your high-speed modem (if it has a single
Ethernet port, power cycle it first), or it can be fed from a router or
switch. If it can get an Internet connection through the cable, it’ll connect
to Datto Network Manager. Once the Ethernet cable is plugged in, connect
power.
The Ethernet cable (PoE device) must be connected only to PoE networks that is
SELV circuit and without routing to the outside plant.
Next, plug in additional access points as either gateways (connected to
Ethernet) or repeaters, connected only to power.
When mounting Datto access points directly onto a wall, use a minimum 30 mm
screw length.
To ensure strong, consistent signal coverage, follow these guidelines
- Place your gateway in the center of the network. For most devices, every time data is transmitted over one repeater hop, it loses half its speed. A central gateway minimizes the number of hops required.
- Never go through more than three to four walls or floors.
- Never go more than 50-150 feet (depending on building materials) between access points.
- Install no more than about five repeaters to every one gateway.
Once all access points are plugged in, you should see them turn green on the Network Manager Status page in about 5 to 15 minutes. For more detailed information on planning and optimizing your network, see the Network Planning Guide.
Configuring A Network
Your network should now be up and running, but there’s a lot we can do to customize it to meet your specific needs. We’ll walk you through the most common settings here.
Configure > General Settings
-
The General Settings tab controls network-wide settings. This will be partially filled in with the information you used to create the network.
-
Location : This defaults to the first address you entered when setting up the network. You can change it at any time. Note that the location only determines where your access point appears on the map; radio settings will be based on the IP address of the access point.
-
Network name: The login name for this network on the dashboard, and also the login ID to access this network individually by a site administrator. This is NOT your master login. This allows you to give access to only the network settings for that network without allowing access to your master account.
-
Time Zone : Used in displaying the local time on reports.
-
AM/PM time : Used in displaying the local time on reports.
-
Display Name: Used to display a more descriptive name (other than the login ID) on reports.
-
Password: The administrator password for this network. Again, this is only for this network and is not your master login password. It is also not the password your users will use to connect to the network.
-
Disable Limited View : If unchecked, users will be able to see a limited view of the network status. The password will still be required to change any network settings.
-
Email : Your email in case we need to contact you. We will not share this with others. Notification Email: The email address notifications will be sent to if enabled. You can list multiple email addresses, separated by spaces.
-
Email Alerts: Select this box to send notifications of network outages each hour to the email addresses you entered above.
-
Network notes: Enter any unique notes for this installation you’d like to be able to refer to later. Configure > SSID 1, 2, 3… Each device can broadcast four unique SSIDs that users can connect to. Each of these SSIDs are controlled independently in Network Manager. Typically users have a mix of public SSIDs – with splash pages, bandwidth throttling, DNS filtering and client isolation – and private SSIDs, with WPA Enterprise authentication and access to LAN resources and other clients. When we created your network, we set the first SSID to be public and the second SSID to be private, but you can adjust these any way you wish.
We’ll go through most of the features you may want to enable or change. You can also learn more about voucher access, pay networks and more by following the links at the end of this document. Common Settings -
SSID name : The name you’d like users to see and connect to with their device. You can also check the box below to use each access point’s name for its SSID instead.
-
Enable : When selected, this SSID will broadcast on all access points in this network. When deselected, it won’t broadcast but your settings will be saved.
-
Visible : When enabled, this SSID will advertise itself publicly so users can select it from their list of available networks. When disabled, users must enter the SSID name manually.
-
Band Use this to limit what bands the SSID is broadcast on. Note: Selecting the ‘only’ options in a network with single radio devices (like the OM2P) may cause the SSID to not be broadcast at all.
-
Authentication: Enable this to authenticate users with WPA-PSK or WPA-Enterprise at the time they connect to the SSID. This isn’t required if you wish to authenticate users on a splash page.
-
WPA Pre-shared key (Password): If you would like to secure your network with a password, enter it here. It must be eight characters or longer and contain no spaces.
-
WPA Enterprise: Uses 802.1x authentication that requires a unique username and password for each user.
Captive Portal Settings
- Bandwidth Throttling: Enable and set download/upload limits to set the maximum speeds users will get when connected to your network. You may want to set these to between 10 and 25 per cent of the speed of your Internet connection, ensuring that one or two users can’t consume the entire available bandwidth.
- Splash Page/Splash Page Type : Enable or disable a page users will see before connecting to your network. You can set this to Custom (hosted by Datto), Facebook WiFi, or a hosted remotely version for advanced users.
- Splash Page Authentication: Choose Network Manager, RADIUS or HTTP Authentication. Read more here.
- Client Force Timeout : Minutes client is idle (Idle Timeout) before showing splash page, or minutes between showing splash page regardless of activity (Force Timeout) for non-voucher access. 1 day=1440.
- Require voucher: Require a valid voucher on splash pages. If unchecked, allows you to provide a basic tier of service at the rates and durations above and (optionally) faster service using vouchers or PayPal.
- Redirect URL: The page to display after the splash page. Leave blank to display the user’s requested page.
- Include user data in redirect URL : If set, additional information specific to the request is added as URL parameters when the final redirect occurs. The parameters node mac, client_mac, and client_url will be set to the MAC addresses of the Access Point and Client, and the original request URL, respectively.
- Block Unauthenticated Users : Block all ports until a client device has been authenticated. If unchecked, only browsing is blocked. When selected, unauthenticated users trying to access https websites will not be redirected to the splash page.
- White List: MAC addresses, one per line that will NOT see the splash page, if enabled. Useful for game consoles that do not have a browser.
- Walled Garden: Sites and resources (images and files for the splash page, etc.) users can visit prior to authentication. Blocked Devices MAC addresses that are blocked from this network.
- Blocked Message Message to display on the splash page to users who are blocked
Availability
Schedule WiFi A WiFi schedule allows you to enable or disable each SSID for
specific times of the day. The SSID will be enabled or disabled upon checkin
to Datto Network Manager, typically within five minutes of the times
specified. This schedule will control the SSID only if Enabled for the SSID.
Advanced Settings
Band Steering Attempts to connect clients to the 5Ghz band when possible in
order to best utilize available bandwidth. Band Steering is only available
when “Band” is set to “Both – Combined SSID”.
802.11r Fast BSS transition (FT), attempts to reduce handoff delay in
situations where an end device is roaming from one AP to another. This is
useful in applications such as VoIP calls that must maintain continuity of
connection. This option is only available if the SSID has WPA authentication
enabled.
- Block LAN Access : Prevents users on this wireless network from accessing your wired LAN.
- Client isolation : Prevents your wireless users from being able to access each other’s computers and common for public networks. Unchecking this box will allow you to do things like share a printer attached to the network, but will also allow malicious users access to other users on the network. Uncheck this ONLY if you know all users have a firewall enabled on their computers.
- DNS Intercept this must be enabled for Alternate DNS, Blocked Devices, Blocked Message and Splash Page functionality to work
- SMTP Redirect: Alternate SMTP server IP address for your network. This allows users to send SMTP email by using your ISP’s SMTP server.
- Alternate DNS : Alternate DNS server IP addresses, one per line, for this SSID. This setting will override your network-wide Alternate DNS settings on this SSID. This allows you to use services such as OpenDNS for content filtering, client tracking and more.
- Access Control List : MAC addresses allowed to use this Access Point, one per line. All other users (MAC addresses) will not be able to browse on this access point.
- Leave blank to allow all MAC addresses (recommended).
- Bridge to LAN : Each SSID can be bridged to the LAN for access to local LAN resources.
- Bridge to VLAN : Each SSID can be tagged with a number from 2-4094 so you can control traffic flow within your LAN. Using a VLAN automatically bridges the SSID to the LAN.
- PayPal Item ID : You can require guests to pay for all service or enhanced service through PayPal.
- See the guides at the end of this document.
Configure > Radio
The Radio settings controls network-wide access point settings. The main items
you’ll want to set are Channels and Internet Check.
Channels: Auto Channel will let Network Manager optimize channel settings
daily for your network, taking into consideration mesh repeaters, nearby
access points, and sources of interference. Auto Channel respects the
Maintenance Window setting in Configure > Maintenance to avoid disruptions
during critical times. If Auto is selected then the ability to specify
channels, on either a per-network or per-access point basis, is disabled.
Manual lets you specify a single channel per band to use for all access
points. You can override individual access points in Manage > Access Points.
Internet Check: When selected, the wireless network will only be available
when there is an active Internet connection. This allows access points to
recover quickly when they lose a connection and is the recommended setting.
When deselected, the wireless network will stay up even when there is no
Internet connection. This allows local resources such as printers and shared
drives to continue to function, but access points may take longer to recover
when they lose a connection.
Configure > Maintenance
- Automatic Upgrades: When enabled, your network will automatically upgrade to the latest firmware version as new stable upgrades become available.
- Maintenance window : Select the period of time each day when Network Manager can perform maintenance on your network. This maintenance includes firmware upgrades and Auto Channel scanning and configuration.
Configure > Display
The Display section allows you to customize the look and feel of Network
Manager, and enable external embeds.
- Display Name: Used to display a more descriptive name on reports. When none is entered, the network name will be used.
- Update Logo: Load your own logo to replace the Network Manager logo in the top left corner of the application.
- Allow Read -Only: Click to enable the password-free read-only view of the network status. When enabled, read-only view can be accessed by entering just the network name in Network Manager without a password. The password will still be required to change any network settings.
- Enable 12 Hour Display: Check to display time in 12 hour (am/pm) format.
- External embeds : Use the HTML snippet to embed Network Manager reporting pages= on an external site like a client portal.
Configure > Advanced
The Advanced Settings page has a variety of settings that most users won’t
change.
This section will touch on the more common settings.
AP Mesh When disabled, this turns off meshing on your APs. Mesh Encryption
must be enabled.
- Mesh Encryption : Encrypts all mesh traffic with WPA2 protection. Access points not belonging to this network won’t be able to join the mesh due to the encryption.
- Alternate DNS : Alternate DNS server IP address for your network, such as OpenDNS. OpenDNS provides several additional features such as content filtering that you may find helpful. This setting applies to all SSIDs and can be overridden by setting an Alternate DNS for each individual SSID.
- Presence Reporting Settings to configure exporting presence data about wireless clients. Commonly used for location analytics. Note that this feature will be part of a paid package of services in the future. Learn more Status
- LED(s) When disabled, this turns off LED lights on your APs Share Vouchers: When enabled, vouchers created on this network will be usable on all other networks under this account.
- Bridge wired clients: When a wired client is connected to an access point, it will use settings from this SSID.
- Application Reporting (DPI) Disabling this will cause application data (pie chart and table) in the clients page to not be displayed and application data in the networks overview page to display all traffic as ‘unclassified’.
- IGMP Proxy When enabled multicast traffic will be allowed over the LAN. When disabled multicast traffic will be blocked from entering the LAN Roaming VLANs Provides seamless roaming to all SSIDs that aren’t bridged to the
- LAN. Requires that your Switch already be configured to utilize our VLANs. To learn more about setting this feature up, click here. Not compatible with Client Isolation.
- Bridge SSID : Select an SSID to bridge to the LAN. This gives clients access to LAN resources such as file servers and printers, disables NAT and lets your LAN assign all client DHCP addresses. You can bridge additional SSIDs by using a VLAN tag on each SSID settings page.
- Delete Network: Select to delete this network from Network Manager.
Monitoring, Management, and Troubleshooting
With your network running and customized, you can now monitor its usage and status by selecting the Network Status link. Here’s an overview of the tools available:
- Network Usage graph at the top of the page shows the number of users on SSID#1 and the amount of upload and download traffic.
- Node Map shows the nodes relationship to each other on a map.
- Node List gives details on each individual node.
- Node Outages Chart shows the check-in status of a node using colors.
STATE | COLOR |
---|---|
Cloud check-in succeeded | Solid Teal |
IP acquired via DHCP, butinet test is failing | Flash Purple |
Users List shows all users connected to the network.
Network Diagram shows how all nodes relate to each other.
STATE | COLOR |
---|---|
Check in performed, mesh speed <= 2Mbps | Flash Green |
Orphan mode | Flash (Yellow), then Green |
Lonely mode | Flash (Red), then Green |
check in performed, mesh speed >2Mbps | Solid Green |
You can use each of these tools to see how your network is doing and troubleshoot issues.
Troubleshooting in Datto Network Manager
Have you have created a strong, healthy network? While there are plenty of diagnostic tools available, the following two are most telling
- On the Node Outages Chart : dark/light green indicate a gateway/repeater is online and hasn’t missed a check-in, yellow indicates a node has lost contact with the mesh and is in lonely/orphan mode, pink is when a node needs re-pairing (update of network settings), and gray indicates it’s down, offline or has missed check-ins.
- On the Node Map : (click on a node, then select Neighbors) all nodes will have at least one (preferably two) connections with an RSSI of 17 or more. If not, you need to reposition your node closer to the others or in a better line through fewer walls. You may need to add new nodes.
- On the Node List : the number of Hops should be three or less (fewer is better). If not, you need to add additional gateways or reposition nodes.
