Cloud-managed stacking
The Instant On mobile app and cloud-based web portal make cloud-managed stacking easy — just follow the recommendations to stack up to four (4) Instant On 1960 switches and manage as a single entity. The Instant On mobile app automatically detects members, making it easy to set up and manage the stack remotely, through a single dashboard and without the need to reboot.

Easy set up and management
The Instant On mobile app allows you to set up, manage, and monitor Instant On switches and access points directly from your phone. Within the app, you get guided step-by-step instructions to install Instant On devices to get your network up and running quickly — no technical expertise required. Cloud-based access allows you to access the network from anywhere, at any time.

Luggage tag
This switch has a pull-out tag, known as a luggage tag, on the front panel. The tag includes a QR code that includes switch ID information (SKU number, SKU name, serial number, and MAC address) for easy switch onboarding through Instant On mobile app.

Optimised user experience
The Instant On mobile app provides common workflows for Instant On switches and access points, making it easier to configure, monitor and manage your network remotely without the need for additional hardware like a cloud key. You can also update firmware on your Instant On devices directly from the cloud whenever you want, from wherever you are.

Site inventory and topology view
The site inventory view shows all Instant On switches and access points on a single interface, and the topology view provides an intuitive structure of all Instant On devices deployed on the network — allowing you to quickly identify non-functioning devices and troubleshoot accordingly. Network issues can be easily diagnosed with connectivity tests like Ping and Traceroute.

Built-in security
Built-in security features protect your network from external threats by blocking malware attacks and keeping unauthorised users off the network. Network traffic can be filtered and access restricted based on MAC and IP address.

No hidden fees
All features are included in the price of the hardware — there are no recurring subscription or licensing fees. Expert-level support and industry leading limited lifetime warranty are also included, along with chat support for the life of the product (available via manufacturer).

Multi-site remote management
The cloud-hosted web interface and mobile app make it easy to remotely manage multiple sites, multiple networks, distributed deployments and multi-tenant deployments. Each site is logically separated and has its own configuration, statistics, guest portal, and admin read/write privileges. Instant On allows you to create three admin accounts per site, offering the option to lock accounts from accidental deletion or to allow your account to be managed by a trusted partner.
