Explore new features that simplify management and empower every user
Our engineering team continues to improve the Instant On Cloud Portal with Release 3.3.2, which delivers meaningful enhancements to improve everyday network management. Continuing the progress of versions 3.3.0 and 3.3.1, this release responds to users’ feedback with high-impact features designed for real-world needs, whether you’re managing a growing business, a busy classroom, or a smart workspace.
Policy Creation Wizard: Traditional vs AI-Driven
One of the most exciting enhancements in 3.3.2 is our revamped Policy Creation Wizard. Administrators with Instant On Secure Gateways deployed now have the flexibility to create network policies using the familiar traditional method or leverage our new Network Assistant.
· Traditional Wizard: Perfect for those who want hands-on control or have specific requirements. You can build policies step-by-step, tailoring settings to your exact needs.
· AI-Driven Wizard: Great for users seeking speed and simplicity. Just provide a few details and let the Network Assistant suggest optimal policy configurations—saving time and reducing guesswork.
Use Cases:
· Small business owners can quickly set up secure guest networks with AI assistance, while IT pros can manually configure policies for complex scenarios.
· Schools with rotating student groups can use AI suggestions for dynamic policies, ensuring smooth and secure access for all.
Client classification tags: Smarter organization for your devices
The way Instant On classifies and tags clients has evolved. With Release 3.3.2, tags are now more intuitive and flexible, making it easier to identify, group, and manage devices on your network. Whether you’re tracking workstations, mobile devices, or IoT sensors, updated tags help you spot trends, troubleshoot issues, and manage devices more easily.
Use Cases:
· Retail shops can tag POS terminals separately for monitoring and security.
· Office IT managers can distinguish between BYODevices and IoT sensors, streamlining controls and automation.
Port speed and duplexing control: Fine-tuned control
For users who require precise control over their network hardware, Release 3.3.2 introduces support for manually configuring port speed and duplex settings. You can now override auto-detection and set these parameters directly on switches and gateways.
Scenarios where useful:
· IT administrators troubleshooting compatibility or performance issues can manually set ports to match connected devices.
· Businesses with legacy hardware or specialized equipment can ensure stable connections without relying on auto-negotiation.
Restore factory settings locally
Do you need to start fresh or resolve persistent issues? You can now restore factory settings directly through local management on all Instant On Switch Series (1830, 1930, 1960) and Secure Gateways (SG1004, 2505P). No cloud connection required, just fast, secure resets wherever you are. To support this feature, the device must be onboarded to the Instant On Cloud Portal.
Who benefits:
· Installers can reset devices before deploying to new environments, ensuring a clean slate.
· Admins facing configuration problems can recover devices instantly, minimizing downtime.
· Users preparing equipment for resale or transfer can wipe settings with confidence.
Take your network further with 3.3.2
Instant On Cloud Portal Release 3.3.2 is all about giving Instant On customers more choices, smarter tools, and greater peace of mind. Whether you’re a networking novice or a seasoned admin, these features are designed to make your workflow smoother and your network stronger.
We encourage you to dive into the new capabilities, try out the AI-driven policy wizard, experiment with manual port settings, and experience the convenience of local factory resets. Look out for more updates and let us know how 3.3.2 is helping you achieve more!
