Yeah but you bought the advantage GUI license, right?

Maybe it's because it gets all the information at once, maybe not. Don't care. I want it to be more smooth and faster. My phone (Droid Maxx) is one of the most recent models for Android. The interface is terribly slow and clumsy on that. Well if you feel a poor technology choice was the cause, that's fine, but it's just flat out wrong. I don't want to carry a big fat i7 laptop up the tower when I could just simply use my phone. It works with Ubiquiti, FSK Cambium, Tranzeo, Trango, Mikrotik, etc it should only make sense the one product with a clumsy interface needs fixed instead of changing my devices that work with the competitors products (as well as different products under their portfolio).

There are people with slower laptops that work with other modern devices and epmp is the only interface that loads slow. There's no point in arguing peoples valid complaints. Are you trying to direct the engineers attention to something else?

The first like 10-15 seconds just load and load and load. Once you're in, it's acceptable in terms of page rendering.

It was UGLY, but they fixed that with version 2.0 haha. not sure why everyone says it's slow tho because we've never seen it. 2 cents -sean On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 9:57 AM, Nate Burke <[email protected]> wrote: Ok, Cambium, this is a little sad. My Field Laptop, a Lenovo S10-3t, Atom Processor with Windows 8.1 cannot load the EPMP WEB Pages in a timely manner. We're talking 40-60 seconds for initial load, and 20-30 seconds per screen refresh/menu change. Since I'm going to have to go to the boss, and tell him that I need a new laptop to do any field troubleshooting for these new radios, what are the minimum system specs for a machine to view the EPMP Screens? Unless Cambium is going to get their Web interface under control as of Yesterday. They still swear that the GUI was all developed in house and not purchased (something I still can't believe). I'd like to know who the engineers/managers are who signed off on that design. I can only imaging that there was a group of guys sitting around the conference table, watching the presentation on the GUI on the projector up front, all nodding their heads in agreement, "I think this is a wonderful layout, the field tech's won't mind waiting a couple extra minutes for the pages to load so they can look this pretty!!" I think that Cambium should step up and get engineers from ALL aspects of product development out into the field. 40 seconds waiting for the page to load is fine when you're sitting in the office, but not when you have the laptop balanced on a stack of firewood in the freezing rain trying to get to the monitoring page to see why a radio isn't linking up. I think that every WISP on this list would be more than happy to host an engineer for a day. Heck, even if they go into the parking lot and assemble it on the tailgate of someone's Pickup, they'll get some idea of what we experience. I have a feeling that if all steps of the Dev process took a week in the field, We'd have a radio that had a GUI that responded instantly on any device, and radios that assembled and mounted (and unmounted) with 1 gloved hand. </rant> Nate
