Right. We have our telco backend billing system (MACC) and some other custom stuff we handle it all out of.
We use an in-house developed user management system for creating logins, managing email accounts and assigning radios/routers for provisioning. We’re mostly Cambium at this point. Working on a few legacy WiMAX conversions still. It’s all RADIUS for bandwidth settings, VLANs and such though for both systems. We just put the user in the system with the radio MAC and a billing code. The rest is handled by a custom RADIUS authentication module we wrote. We are using SmartRG and Calix routers. Since we have them in inventory already, we assign the MAC to the customer and it’s automatically authenticated with the Patriot system. Disconnects are automatically suspended. A router swap will suspend the old device and authenticate the new device. Unknown wireless radios aren’t authorized and known radios not assigned to a customer get a 256k/256k plan. 😊 We also enforce simultaneous use from the Patriot system. If a customer has our router then connects their own, the original lease would be suspended on expiration. If they reconnect the other router, it’s suspended so they would have to authenticate again. If they try to authenticate multiple devices, the leases will expire and they will have to login again. There is also a simultaneous use report from the Patriot system we can look at. __________________________________ Charles Boening Network Manager 800-858-2399 | Office [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> www.cot.net<http://www.cot.net/> | Find us on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cal-Ore/205066716227707> __________________________________ Cal-Ore | Local.

So I take it you don't run a Powercode/Sonar/VISP/etc? Instead you run DHCPatriot?

Essentially, I think they have tapped into the lease hooks ISC provided and run custom scripts. I’ve never seen the code but that’s what I expect based on some ISC customization I’ve done to populate database information when a lease is issued or released. __________________________________ Charles Boening Network Manager 800-858-2399 | Office [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> www.cot.net<http://www.cot.net/> | Find us on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cal-Ore/205066716227707> __________________________________ Cal-Ore | Local.

The telco I sold my WISP to used it as well. I always wondered why, but never asked. I just assumed it was one of those "If it's free, it can't be good" decisions made by a pointy-haired boss. I just checked into their website. There's a chart there on the home page that shows how obviously awesome it is and how obviously un-awesome the open source ones are. Mostly marketing hype I'd guess. In fact, I'd bet it's an open source DHCP server dressed up in a pretty package with fancy reports and such.
