I thought powercode had a feature that put the customer in a walled garden until they signed into their account, which would register THAT device mac in their account table.
I’ve seen it do that at Digis, but maybe that was a feature only they had. I need to do the same thing. I’m thinking of implementing a similar process, but without the login. I would limit one MAC per customer, and the background system would recognize a ‘rouge’ MAC, look up the chain of device in reverse from the router, and then assign that to the customer database/field. This would mean I would still have full IP control and lookup, assigning that customer to their same IP, even when they swap their own routers on DHCP. Sounds like a nightmare to implement though. Anyone willing to try? I’ll pay you.

Do you control access by manually turning their ethernet port on/off? With powercode the solution is going to be you gotta get a mac address so you can assign them an equipment with an ip address. I can't think of any other work around that will maintain the monitoring and delinquency disable. We are doing a ftth deployment and this same situation came up, we decided to supply a cpe/router just like we do with wireless customers.
