Access Points

• Beta – Contact Support Initially – Automatic Transmit Power Adjustments – Have your APs do the heavy lifting of figuring out their optimal transmit power based on their physical placement and proximity to other Datto APs.

NOTE  This feature is being rolled out slowly. If you’d like to fast-track access, please contact Support. By default, it will be kept off for new and existing networks. In the future, we’ll examine turning it on for new networks.

• For more information on Troubleshooting mode, refer to Access Points page overview

D200, Access Points, Managed Power, Switches

• All Datto Networking devices require a subscription to use them. Now, the devices’ subscriptions are visible in the network manager as; in a good state (not expiring soon), expiring soon (30 days or less) or expired. These details will be visible on the Device Status pages of respective products.
• Add end of sale and end of life attributes to Network Manager
• While Datto Networking products are built to last, like most IT equipment, they eventually reach a defined end-of-sale and end-of-life date. These are known as lifecycle status dates. Now, these dates are displayed within Status Pages and tables for handy reference.

NOTE  D200 devices will not show embedded lifecycle status information – instead, they will show a link to the referenced KB article above.

New features

• Autotask Ticket Integration: A PSA is the source of truth and the lifeblood of an MSP’s practice – if information isn’t captured there, it might as well not exist. When any of your Datto Networking gear generates an alert, that information needs to be routed into your PSA so that your techs can appropriately triage and action it.

  This update to Datto Network Manager provides an initial integration with Autotask that enables you to map Autotask companies to Network Manager networks, assign ticket severity priorities, and choose notification channel options for each alert within the Global Settings and Network Alert Settings pages. The integration will become available to you over the course of April as Autotask completes the rollout of the 2023.2 release.

  Learn more in our Configuring the Datto Networking Autotask integration article.
