Probably better turnout for training sessions.
Actually, include free training with purchase and you'll need to hire Scrooge 
McDuck to count all the coin.

Come work for us and solve that problem! We're trying to hire a couple more 
tier 3 support guys right now.


The only actual legitimate complaint I have with them is around events like 
wispapalooza they shortstaff, but they gotta make that cheddar.

Powercode is Static DHCP, MAC reservations from a non dynamic pool, if there is 
no device registered with that mac it pulls from a dynamic pool for each POP 
and all that traffic is redirected to the powercode web server

Now that DHCP is reliable its DHCP, everything is DHCP that way we can move 
customer IP space at whim. If a customer throws in one of our replacement 
routers we either pill the MAC from the bridge table on the SM/AP and update it 
or watch the DHCP log in the BMU to either pull the MAC (if its their personal 
router) or log into the catch all IP theyre handed if its ours to get it and 
complete the set up
If powercode would set it up to where the redirect page pulled the IP the 
customer is coming from and compared it to the DHCP log, customers could even 
self provision their own devices, but they say its not possible, so it does 
require a call in to tech support to provision, unless they can get on the horn 
with their router vendor to get the WAN MAC, since all the boxes list the 
wireless or LAN MAC for some reason

thats the very reason we use the air router
DHCP used to not be reliable through powercode so we needed a way to ensure 
that they couldnt reset them and have no service. We just created a default 
config with our remote access and the reset button disabled the techs load in 
at installation time. anything specific to the customer is named CHANGEME 
including the device name, that way they know what to change and the ones that 
werent configured completely are easy to ID. We also leave some of these with 
the default config file loaded into them at our retail shop, that way customers 
can just pick one up if their personal router is causing trouble or if our air 
router fails (which suprisingly for 28 bucks, they rarely do)

We don't nat at sm and the tech test speed at Poe I don't allow speed tests via

Does the air router allow u to disable reset button?

are you NAT at the SM? it depends on whether youre bridging or NAT. If youre 
briddging, like us, throwing the router in saves on support calls. If they opt 
to use their own router, then all your support needs to do is give them the 
manufacturers support number, also it eliminates support on wireless issues. We 
throw in a 28 dolar air router, set the ESSID with a set key that doesnt 
change, any issue on the wireless on that and we tell them to contect their end 
device manufacturer and provide them the ESSID and key. we dont give them a 
personalized key. Ever since we started this, the number of wireless issues we 
have had to support is zero. We do leave an extra patch cord and dont accept 
speedtests over wireless. Most people who say everything is wireless dont even 
realize their laptop has an ethernet connection on it
