8. What is included with the wiTECH Diagnostic Extender Kit?
9. Why do dealers need an additional Access Point with their wiTECH Access Gateway?
The wiTECH Diagnostic Extender will be an extension of the wiTECH Access Gateway (WAG) and provides a much needed wireless technology update since 2008/2009 wiTECH deployment to improve performance, coverage area, throughput, and reliability with various tools
Small dealers have wireless interference issues similar to larger dealers and the updated wireless technology capabilities of the Access Point improve performance and reduce interference issues
Offers better signal strength and power, along with ease of mobility (location in service department can easily be changed based on dealership needs)
Access Point provides low cost scalability to expand wireless coverage and throughput to different areas or buildings on the dealer campus
Creates a more robust system for dealerships and aligns to roadmap of future wireless infrastructure enhancements
10. Why will a dealer still need their existing WAG?
The WAG will still provide Network Security, Access Control Lists (ACL), Reporting, Central Management System (NSM) and IP Address Management for ongoing support and maintenance requirements.
The wiTECH Diagnostic Extender will provide the additional wireless power that dealers require with the wireless signal on the WAG turned off
Can the microPODs be interchangeable between programs (i.e. wiADVISOR)?
Currently no; there may be an ability to switch profiles in the future.
Can I buy additional microPods now?
Additional microPod II devices will be available for purchase after the initial deployment to NAFTA
dealers is complete.
11. Why do I need an 8-port PoE injector?
The 8-port PoE injector will power the wiTECH Diagnostic Extender, wiADVISOR Access Point, and any
other future expansions to the wiTECH System. It will minimize the number of power injectors and electrical plugs needed at the wiTECH Access Gateway.
