Ubiquiti? It is Ubuntus install engine -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] För Scott Granados Skickat: den 24 augusti 2015 22:08 Till: Blind sysadmins list Ämne: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Ubiquiti Access Points Hi Vic, I have configured many of these so would b glad to help you out. I have had no accessibility issues but remember I use Voice Over although I have configured under JFW also with no issues. Basically, you will install their server software that opens up some listeners and it's own web server. You'll browse to the new web server, log in and add / configure devices. Devices come unconfigured and you boot them via DHCP either directly connected to the configuring PC or via a switch on the same segment. You'll see the Mac addresses appear in the lists and you can configure / upgrade them from there. There is no CLI to speak of although once configured you can ssh in to the access points, they run a small version of Linux underneath that does have ssh enabled. What else would you like to know? The Ubiquiti line of devices either has their own web page onboard you browse to or uses custom software called unifi software for the access points. Never had any accessibility issues with any of their product lines. Let me know if I can be of any further help. Thanks Scott

Good day everyone

I've been asked if I can help install and setup a Ubiquiti Access Point. Before I make any promises I want to know if anyone has any experience with this AP and if it is reasonably accessible to Window-Eyes or NVDA. My experience doesn't stretch to dedicated access points, just a variety of routers and some data switches I accessed with terminal emulation software.

Hi, Or in this case they are a wireless network provider. Google them and you'll get their products.

Vic, They are decent devices for the price point. They do have chipset compatibility issues so for example using 802.11N if you’re trying to connect a Mac to a ubiquity access point you might only get half speed of 130 MBPS instead of the full 300 but it will work. Their gear works especially well with other devices in their catalog which is probably no different than anyone else. In general though you should be happy with the devices and find them easy to set up. Post away if you have any problems. Good luck

My primary concerns were with the accessibility of the interface. Knowing that you were able to work with them using Jaws, I suspect that NVDA or Window-Eyes should be able to manage.

Also, thanks for the excellent overview and how they allow you to manage the device.

Should I run into any issues when setting it up, I'll post a note. Now I can let them know it is OK to go ahead and purchase one.

Well, as long as the beer was cool it’s all good.:) I would completely echo your coworkers findings. The handoff on the Unify access points is very good, especially for the price point. We wired up several large hotels in South Florida as well as a retirement community called the Villages and they worked great. Definitely better than your off the shelf Linksys garbage. They make several versions, there’s the normal access point, there is the 802.11AC access point and there’s the LR or long range outdoor model. I have a few of each. The LR takes care of my entire condo complex, the AC does well at higher speeds inside the house and the normal units are good for augmenting dead spots. They aren’t bad, you’ll be surprised how well they do for the m money.

During coffee at work, I discovered one of my co-workers has some experience with the Ubiquiti products. He found that when using multiple access points from them the hand-off works better than many of the consumer end solutions he noticed people trying in larger environments where they should have spent more than $50.00 on wireless routers built for home use. Sadly I was at a resort where they used devices like Linksys and D-Link routers to connect to their service provider. They blamed their provider for the complaints they continue to receive from the people booking their facilities instead of the hardware they implemented, because it was inexpensive.

I didn't say anything, my cabin was comfortable, the fridge worked and the beer was cold.
