Access Zones

February 27, 2024

AK-Fi Work allows you to set up 3 separate zones to ensure the safety of all of the devices connected to your network. A separate SSID is used to access each zone. 
 

Secure zone 

The Secure zone is meant for devices that require the most protection, such as point of sale (POS), security cameras, and network servers. Printers, file servers, and other devices you want to selectively share access to over the local network with your employees can also be placed in this zone. All Ethernet-connected devices are automatically placed into this zone. 

Devices connected to this zone can access each other over the local network but are completely inaccessible from the other zones by default.

Local access to Secure zone devices can be selectively shared with selected employees. Devices can be grouped to make it easier to share multiple devices.    
 

Employee zone

This zone is meant for your employees' devices. Each employee can have their own profile with assigned devices, allowing you to gain valuable insights through Keycard analytics. 

All devices connected to the Employee SSID have local network access to each other. 

Each employee can have customized local network access to specific Secure zone devices. Online Protection, Content access, and Adblocking can also be customized at the individual employee level. 
 

Guest zone

Your guests will use a custom guest portal when connecting to the Guest SSID. The Guest portal can be customized with your company name, image, terms, and conditions to provide a branded experience. Multiple login options are available for the Guest portal so you do not have to worry about setting up a password. 

All devices in this zone only have Internet access with no local network access. 

Guest Internet speed can also be limited so you don't need to worry about guests slowing down your employees or the rest of your business. 

Best of all, Concierge turns guest analytics into opportunities for you. React to visit frequency, data usage, length of stay, and more.
