Re: [WISPA] Redirect clients
Yes if you have a mikrotik box at your headend you can put in rules to intercept clients ip addresses. AFter the rules are put in you can just add the ip address to a list, they just enable/disable when they are behind or caught up. Your headend mikrotik router can also serve as your bandwidth manager too. -- Original Message -- From: ~NGL~ n...@ngl.net Reply-To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Date: Wed, 14 May 2014 13:23:01 -0700 How can I redirect slow pay clients to a Pay your bill web site.

Josh, I did see his email go out right before mine and checked and saw other messages from him to the list over the last 2-3 weeks when I haven't heard anything back from him. I've politely asked if he is able to complete this for me and if not, please simply reply that he cannot complete the project so I can find another consultant. I've never been mad in the emails and continue to ask if he can complete our project or not so I can move on. Sounds like I'm beating a dead horse and I'll probably just move on and try to get my prepaid hours back. We'll see if anyone can pull some strings for me.

Re: [WISPA] Small IP PBX - Grandstream UCM
First of all, thank you for this great discussion, while we are discussing the finer points of how we approach things, I would like to state for the record, it is not my intent to critique one method over the other, rather a discussion on how we solve the common issues related to providing the service to our customers. It is also refreshing to get some overview details on how each of our inhouse systems are created / configured / integrated. Speaking for myself, I always get some good ideas / feedback from such discussions, and hopeful provide the same for yourself and or others. BTW, thanks for the detailed explanation on B2BUA, I had attempted to do a brief explanation for the benefit of others who may be following this thread. What I find very interesting is how each of our solutions tend to be influenced by external factors, business practices, technologies, and our understanding / implementation. Our inhouse Voip platform is built on Virtual Hosting hardware (we are using Proxmox) for our hosting cluster. Some of us are using OmniOS as a Storage Box, others are using local Raid 10 HDD for storage. We are using A2billing as LCR call routing, and internal account management, we use the post paid capabilities to limit any clients exposure to LD Charges in case of a compromise, we are in the process of implementing 3rd iteration of the platform, adding scalability, local and geographic redundancy, and integration of Freeside billing. We provision Sip Trunks to IAD for Sip Trunking clients (Sip to pri), and or Sip Trunks to a dedicated Hosted PBX (VPS) Freepbx/asterisk instance for Hosted PBX Clients. The IP phones at client site register to the Hosted PBX.. We use proactive security on the Hosted PBX Instances. (these days we are favoring OSSEC over some of the other usual tools / scripts). Interesting point to note, while common thinking is that Phone Hacking happens at the PBX level, in reality, VM and IP Phone compromise are much more the norm in such cases the PBX is not able to determine a compromise. Having a solid Virtual Hosting Platform, solved a number of other problems for us, than just Voice Service Offerings, as such it is easier (less taxing) to address security / updates / maintenance / redundancy / scaleability etc etc at a central location. While there is nothing wrong with an on-premises PBX deployment, I know some ISP's who prefer doing onsite hardware deployment, but then they also put in a larger box, and enable additional services for the client thus getting a better ROI... (backup/ router / virtual Hosting etc). While you and I may choose to follow different strategies, one thing neither one of us will disagree on is that having options and choices to do things one way or the other is always a good thing. I hope this discussion, encourages others to test the waters, and not scare them away from considering offering services to their clients. The key is doing it right, with the bigger picture in mind, trying to deal with / put up with limited hardware options from any mfg. whether it is Cisco or Grandstream, does not need to be tolerated. :) Regards.

We can provision an account as either a single line (one DID, one SIP registration from an ATA, 2 channels for call-waiting) or a SIP trunk (multiple DIDs, one SIP registration from a PBX, multiple channels), and whether it is a single-line or trunk account, the customer has the option of specifying an emergency call forward number that calls are sent to if either their ATA or PBX goes down for whatever reason, or if our main NOC goes down completely (worse-case scenario where all connectivity and power redundancy utterly fails). So we are using Asterisk, but we are not using it on our side in our NOC as a PBX in the traditional sense or understanding. We are using it more like a telephony software platform or SDK. If a customer needs a PBX and doesn't have a preference, we will sell them an Asterisk-based one (an Asterisk instance that is configured more traditionally) to live on their premesis, and typically also set up VPN access to it so that we can manage and troubleshoot it remotely. That on-site PBX will get calls sent to it from our Asterisk-based server. We do have enterprise-ish customers that do want BYOPBX, and they successfully peer (via SIP) with our Asterisk server using
