The March 2023 QxControl update has been released!
New Bandwidth Management tools enable choosing how much bandwidth your Gateway can consume when uploading to the cloud service, and when, based on a schedule. All of this is displayed on a new dashboard on the Gateway Info page where you can see this and other valuable networking information. You can drag new Bandwidth widgets into a Live view and build your own dashboard to monitor bandwidth statistics in Live.
We have also expanded the ability to easily reboot devices remotely saving you even more truck rolls when managing customer sites!
Here are all the details on the March 2023 QxControl update:
