Description:
The Habitat Wifi Location Scanner retrieves from Wifi enabled agents a current list of seen Wifi devices on the networks being accessed. It is an automated service that has a control in the Habitat automated services manager and it executes every hour keeping track of when the device was first seen and when it was last detected and weather or not the device is actively online (pingable).
Network Device View
Device names maybe blank if they do not broadcast a name. However they will broadcast a net adapter company name which helps to identify the type of devices.
- Amazon Technologies Inc. = Alexa Audio Device
- Nintendo Co. ,Ltd = Nintendo game system
- Google, Inc. = Google Audio Device
- Roku Inc. = RoKu TV devices
Network Access Point View
This view will allow you to identify what networks an agent is able to see. compare that with another agent at the same location to determine signal strength across the clients location. This is really cool when you have a client location that utilizes multiple access points providing you with a better picture of radio coverages. We also added a manual scan button along with the ability to disable the automated scans. This gives you the preference to get hourly updates or to only run when you need it, or both. Each agent that has Wifi will contribute to the Network Access Point view expanding the visibility on this tool.
