Management Plane
EnGenius Fit provides flexible options to manage your devices based on your network planning and deployment.
- Option A: Cloud Management
- Option B: On-Premises Management
- Option C: Standalone Configuration
Cloud Management
Manage and monitor the Switch through the FitXpress Platform with a mobile app or through the web portal. FitXpress App {iOS/ Android)
- Download the FitXpress mobile app App Store click here
- Download the FitXpress mobile app Google Play click here
On-Premises Management
If you want to manage the device in on-premises mode, you need an onsite management station running the FitController connected to the same Layer 2 network. FitController FitController is a custom-built appliance with optimized network management software installed to ease onsite deployment without manual server configurations.
Standalone Configuration
Using your computer, you can connect to the same network (subnet) as the Switch and use the web browser to access the device’s local web GUI page for configurations whenever the device is set to Standalone mode.
Option A: Cloud Management with FitXpress
Step 1: Connecting Ethernet
Connect the Ethernet cable from the EnGenius Fit Switch directly to the DHCP-
enabled network and make sure the Switch can reach the Internet.
Step 2: Register Device
You can register the access point with the FitXpress app.
- Open the FitXpress mobile app and create an account.
- Log in and go to the Devices section. Click the Add (+) button.
- Scan the QR code on the back of the device via the app.
- If the camera successfully scans the QR code, the app will display the device information. You can tap “Register” to complete the registration.
Step 3: Connect to FitXpress
Once the device is powered on and ready to connect to the Internet, the PWR
LED will stay Solid On, which means the device is now connected to the
FitXpress platform. It will automatically download the default configuration
settings from FitXpress for automated provisioning. When the Switch is
connected to the FitXpress Platform for the first time, it will automatically
check the latest firmware version available. If a firmware upgrade is
required, it might take 8~10 minutes to complete the process. All LED
indicators will be Flashing (0.5 sec) till the process is finished.
Step 4: Manage with the FitXpress
Log in to the FitXpress app to configure detailed settings and monitor your
devices.
Option B: On-premises Management with FitController
Step 1: Connecting Ethernet
Connect the Ethernet cable from the EnGenius Fit Switch directly to the DHCP-
enabled network, which is the same Layer-2 network as FitController
.
Step 2: Log in to the FitController
Launch your web browser to access the login page of FitController and
create an account. Enter the email address and password that you created and
click Sign In. The FitController default IP address in DHCP client mode will
get an IP address (e.g. X.X.X.X:8080) from the DHCP server. If FitController
cannot get an IP address from the DHCP server, the default IP address will be
192.168.1.250:8080.
Step 3: Register Device and Assign to the Network
- Go to the system > Inventory page and click “Register Device (+)”.
- FitController will list all EnGenius Fit devices discovered from the same L2 network in the Pending Approval section. Select the device and Click “Register” to add to the inventory. You can also tap the “Manually” tab and register your Fit device by entering your Serial Number.
- From the Inventory page, Select the newly added device and click “Assign to Network” to add the device to your personalized network.
Step 4: Pairing the Device
- Go to an access point or switch list.
- Select the newly added device and click “Pairing” to allow the access point to build an encrypted connection between the device and FitController.
Step 5: Manage with FitController
Navigate to the left side menu to configure & manage your network and view
network statistics using the FitController management interface.
Option c: Standalone Configuration
Step 1: Access to Local Web
- Connect the Ethernet cable from the laptop directly to the EnGenius Fit Switch.
- Under your web browser, enter the URL: http://EnGenius.local or http://192.168.0.239 to access the device’s user interface.
- Use the default login credential (ID/PWD: admin/password) to log in to the device’s local web page.
Step2: Configure and Manage the Device
After logging into the device’s local web page, navigate to the left-side menu
to configure and manage the Switch accordingly.
How to Change Management Mode
EnGenius Fit devices support versatile network management methods, but the device can only be managed under one management mode at a time – either FitXpress, FitController or Standalone. Therefore, you need to reset the device before changing to a different management mode. Then follow Quick Start Guide instructions for the device onboarding.
