Managing Active Sites 🏢
Introduction
Active sites in Amplifi-Qx Hub represent locations where our hardware has been installed and is operational. Effective management of these sites is crucial for maintaining optimal system performance and ensuring high levels of client satisfaction. This guide will walk you through the essential aspects of managing active sites efficiently.
Key Components of Active Sites
Hardware Devices 🔧
Every active site contains two primary types of hardware that require regular monitoring and management:
Network Units (NU)
The Network Unit serves as the core of your installation, acting as the primary signal source for the entire system. Regular monitoring of your NU includes checking its connection status, reviewing performance metrics, and ensuring optimal operating temperature. Each NU provides real-time data through the Hub, allowing you to proactively identify and address any potential issues before they impact service.
Coverage Units (CU)
Coverage Units work in conjunction with the Network Unit to distribute signal throughout the site. These units require consistent monitoring of their signal strength and coverage effectiveness. Pay particular attention to their LED indicators, which provide immediate visual feedback about their operational status and connection quality.

Site Monitoring 📊
Dashboard Metrics
The Amplifi-Qx Hub provides comprehensive real-time monitoring of your active sites through an intuitive dashboard interface. This central command center displays critical performance indicators that help you maintain optimal system operation. You can view device status, signal strength measurements, and overall network performance at a glance.
Automated Alerts
Our automated alert system acts as your early warning system for potential issues. When a device disconnects, performance degrades, or temperature readings exceed normal parameters, the system immediately notifies relevant team members. This proactive approach ensures you can address problems before they affect the client's experience.
Regular Maintenance 🔨
Scheduled Visits
Maintaining active sites requires a structured approach to regular maintenance visits. The process begins with careful planning, where you'll schedule regular checks and assign appropriate engineers based on site requirements and complexity. Each visit should have clear objectives and documented requirements to ensure consistent quality of service.
When conducting maintenance visits, engineers must complete comprehensive inspection forms that capture all findings and changes made to the system. This documentation creates a valuable history of the site's maintenance and helps track the system's evolution over time.

Document Management 📑
Site Documentation
Maintaining accurate and up-to-date documentation is crucial for effective site management. The Hub provides a centralised location for storing and accessing all site-related documentation, including detailed floorplans showing equipment locations, comprehensive installation details, and current configuration settings.
Form Submissions
The forms system in Amplifi-Qx ensures consistent data collection across all site visits and maintenance activities. Engineers can submit detailed maintenance records, including inspection checklists and performance test results, directly through the platform. This standardised approach helps maintain high quality standards and provides a clear audit trail of all site activities.
Performance Monitoring 📈
Signal Quality
Maintaining optimal signal quality requires continuous monitoring and periodic optimisation. Regular analysis of this data helps identify potential coverage gaps or areas where performance could be improved.
System Health
Beyond signal quality, the overall health of your system requires constant attention. The Hub monitors various aspects of system health, including hardware status, software versions, and connection stability. Temperature monitoring helps prevent hardware issues before they occur, while performance metrics provide insight into the user experience.
Issue Management ⚡
Problem Resolution
When issues arise, the Hub provides tools for efficient resolution. The process begins with clear issue identification through monitoring alerts and performance reviews. Once identified, problems can be prioritised based on their impact and urgency.
The resolution process is tracked within the Hub, ensuring clear communication and documentation throughout. Engineers can access historical data and previous resolution notes, helping them implement effective solutions more quickly.
Client Communication 🤝
Portal Access
Clients can access their site information through dedicated portal access, providing them with visibility into their system's performance and maintenance history. This self-service capability helps reduce support queries while keeping clients informed about their installation.
Best Practices 💡
Daily Management
Effective daily management of active sites involves regular system monitoring and proactive maintenance planning. Start each day by reviewing device status and any overnight alerts. Prioritise any issues that require immediate attention and update documentation as needed.
Quality Assurance
Maintaining high quality standards requires consistent monitoring of performance metrics and regular compliance checks. Document all changes and improvements, ensuring that records are easily accessible for future reference. Regular quality reviews help identify areas for improvement and maintain high service levels.
Site Options ⚡
Management Tools
The Hub provides quick access to essential management functions through the site options menu. From here, you can edit site details, view the installation on various portals, create site visits, and manage maintenance agreements. These tools are designed to streamline common management tasks and improve operational efficiency.
