On a related topic, what about TR69 software? I saw GenieACS and FreeACS, but they both required a big time investment. Commercial TR69 servers appear to all be big $$. I'm wondering if there's something basic that costs less than a used car :) We paid $6k for a TR69 ACS and it's junk. The

Re: [AFMUG] CenturyLink installing these

For people at the bottom end of the economic scale (thinking about seniors on Social Security), it seems to me the ideal combination is a Lifeline cellphone and an OTA TV antenna with a DVR. The cellphone eliminates all worries about crappy copper, power outages, etc. and it works in the

Re: [AFMUG] SNMP Monitoring Programs

Thanks Simon. Yes my understanding is that Telrad is going to eventually abandon the "Star ACS" system they inherited from Alvaion and put at least some TR-69 functions into Breezeview. I have heard as stated goals that Breezeview will collect performance data from the CPE and perform bulk

Re: [AFMUG] SNMP Monitoring Programs

Go to the Broadband Forum website and look at the Board of Directors. I know half those people from my participation in the first ADSL standard 20 years ago. They are all “big telco” people. TR-069 is what you’d expect from them. Their world is evolving also, with stuff like small cells,

[AFMUG] Providing Service at Different Rates / in Different Markets

How do others handle providing service in different markets at different rates? As I've expanded into different areas, I've found I need to charge significantly different rates and have to provide different speeds. I adjusted my website to say things like: "...up to" and "...starting at $...".

Ok, but cutting power is all about energy density right? The light exiting a multimode cable should scatter pretty rapidlyor so I would think. -- Original Message -- From: "Chuck McCown" To: af@afmug.com Sent: 2/1/2017 1:19:21 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Fiber

[AFMUG] Scheduling software for home automation

Anyone know of a scheduling software that's like powercode but not for monthly clients? I work for a home automation company big need for something like that, but it's not monthly service when it's done. it's done. If anyone knows of something like that Or willing to make 1 for us please let me

Re: [AFMUG] CenturyLink installing these

Chuck, Explain why we would have to bury fiber for that customer when the current standard for ‘served’ for Internet is 10Mbps which is easily done with wireless, and “Advanced Broadband” is 25/3Mb.I still think there is a very valid argument that 10Mbps is more than sufficient for the

Re: [AFMUG] CenturyLink installing these

Because you don’t build copper any more. The RUS will not finance a copper build. The USF contribution base is largely coming from cell phone carriers these days, but yes it will probably eventually expand to all internet services. Hey, I didn’t write the rules, I just read them. Don’t hate

Re: [AFMUG] Fiber Optics Transmit Data and Power Over Same Cable

Imagine unplugging a fiber that has 60 watts on it. You will be cutting holes in all kinds of things. Could slice off a whole row of other fibers in a heartbeat. I would think you could cook the socket by just unplugging it. -Original Message- From: Matt Sent: Wednesday, February
