We are in the process to develop an App for the iPhone / iPod Touch (then for the iPad and later a MacOS X app , too - we are currently using the Winbox with MacPort / Wine but it so slow… ) … We are testing right now with 3.30 and 4.10 RouterOS version on several hardware platform (RB1000,RB433,Oldish RB532) since we use Mikrotik primary here in the company … We are looking for 5 to 10 Beta testers to see how it works with different configurations (iPhones models, iPod Touchs , iOS versions, Carrier Networks) … please if you are interested send us the UDID , we appreciated your time to find bugs & develop this needed App.
Just some background information about us : We are a company with one MikroTik Certified Consultant and are using this Routers from the past 7 years.
Currently the Application can do the following Stuff:
Can reads all the info via API from any Mikrotik 3.30 - 4.11.
Can save and add several hosts , edit them , remove them , and check status via Ping.
Can navigate within the same menu as the Winbox from Mikrotik guys.
Can show the Monitor Traffic in real time , Monitor Status , Resources , and a lot of useful information.
Etc.
( Update: here’s a new link with a more resolution video
I am interested in Beta, i have a 3GS running iOS 4.0.1 and approx 80 Routerboards of various mdels , just say the e-mail to send my iPhone’s UDID, and i can test the MAC OS X app in future…
you have “tickbox” and “tikbox” mentioned on the website, which one is it ?
also, I see that for example the logging settings are all shown in one big list, maybe you can collapse the items somehow, and only show their settings once they are clicked? In case there are more items, the list can become quite large. Same goes for IP addresses and some other places.
From a usability point of view, the reboot and shutdown options seem out of place, maybe there is some other solution of placement and visualization. Currently they look like expandable menu options (arrow on the right) but they actually toggle a popup.
You have right … is TikBox without the ‘C’ , thank you for inform us .. we are going to correct that …
We are in the process to correct some views… because as you mentioned some as : logs, address , arp .. can really grow big …
about the reboot and shutdown … yes we are going to remove the > at the right … We put all the menus and submenus in the TikBox equal to the Winbox just to be for anybody more easy …
the port field when adding a new mikrotik device is limited to 4 digits, making it impossible to connect to 5 digit ports
You may also want to make a specification that this is the ssh port you are supposed to enter, not the winbox port
program looks good so far, I am still exploring it
?
