Are you using SMX?  How are you adding the FSAN?

    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.

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

      It does run Linux under the hood and I believe ISC DHCP.  



      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.

      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.

          A company I am partnered with uses DHCPatriot to serve all of its

DHCP.



          Does anyone here use it?
