Don't bother emailing them either, if they do respond it won't be till 5:00
on a Friday that way you can't email them back.

If it's just reporting you want, Cymphonix makes boxes that do exactly
what you're asking for.  Can be a transparent bridge or a NAT gateway,
has all kinds of fancy reporting, tracking, and filtering
capabilities.  I've had one for a while I keep meaning to put in place
for our offices (our customer network has long since outgrown its
capabilities).

That, along with similar systems from Allot and Packeteer probably
cost more than Ntop, Mikrotik, etc. but they provide tech support etc.
that you may not want to have to do.

Re: [WISPA] Employee Tracking Program

2008-08-21 Thread Tom DeReggi
 Employers own the content of all correspondence
 That has been time tested.

Not true, from my experience. Expecially if the correspondance is 
non-business related.

Actually, I was involved in a case where the employer was successfully sued 
by the employee for violating their employee's privacy.
The employer was threatening to fire certain employees, based on the content 
(most likely porn) of personal Emails sent and read from work, and Web 
access to some sites.
We installed the original tracking system, and we de-installed it after they 
lost the suit, and re-installed the new solution that did not put the 
employer at risk to lose another costly law suit of that nature.  Granted, 
this took place probably 8 years ago, when I was still in the LAN network 
integration business. There could have been newer law changing legislation.

Regardless of what the current laws are or are not, an Employer really needs 
to think about whether they really want to go there in the first place, to 
risk defending litigation. Privacy issues can be very complicated, and 
expensive to defend.  By default the legal system favors the employee in 
almost all aspects, and the employer is held responsible for the burden to 
setup the policies, proceedures, and agreements in advance in a way that are 
law biding.  At minimum, a clear plan has to be defined on what the privacy 
policy is. In many cases if a policy is set AFTER an employee starts 
employment, it can be argued that the employee was Coerced/forced to sign an 
agreement that they did not want to agree to, or they'd lose the job that 
they rely on, which they committed to based on other terms.  So there is 
even the possibilty that signed privacy agreements can be thrown out as 
non-inforcible. Again, these are very generalized statements, and there are 
many variables that go into what is and isn't legally inforcible.

Installing a solution that allows one to manage there network, completely 
avoids the privacy issues and any law suits, and often accomplishes the same 
goals, to keep employees focused on work and not personal activities.

To be clear, there are four issue here.
1) Tracking someone's use without letting them know that you are tracking 
it. (remember why someone must disclose if a telephone call or conversation 
is being recorded?)
2) Tracking someone's use with or without an official privacy/usage policy. 
(remember discussions regarding ISPs privacy issues)
3) Whether you are allowed to track someone's personal/private Internet use 
in the first place, and if so, how its distinguished which use/content is 
personal/private versus business.
4) Whether being on-the-clock and within a Business office is enough to 
for someone's Internet use/content to be considered Business property.

Prior to tracking Employee's use the Employer should have a clear legal 
understanding of how they can defend each and every one of these things, are 
they are putting themselves at a legal risk.

I can tell you, the case I was involved in was not a small claims court 
case.  Big dollars were put on the table.  If this same situation occured to 
a small company, I'd bet that 99% of the employers would be forced to settle 
out of court early, and payoff the employee, because the cost to defend the 
case would far outway the benefit, and getting compensation from the 
employee for the legal fees is not a likely thing to occur.

Its something to think about.

Re: [WISPA] Employee Tracking Program

2008-08-21 Thread Tom DeReggi
Eric,

 The matter
 at hand is to monitor traffic as a summary

OK. I did not understand that initially, since you referenced keylogger as 
the previous solution that logs content and spys on Employee's private 
usage.

 I am not a lawyer, so I
 will leave that for this employer to consult his attorney

Agreed. Thats the approach we take. If they want a solution we give it to 
them, but we advise them that some issues could exist, and they should 
address them with their attorneys, if they are concerned about it.

 I want suggestions at this point.

I'd agree with others' advice. NTOP is probably a good way to do it.

Actually anyone that runs a Linux router with Iptables, generally can get 
basic data. For example, a Firewall rule can be set up to allow each service 
that they want to track. Then you can count how many hits each rule gets. Or 
just send to a log, all firewall matches. And write quick scripts that looks 
at each line in the log and matches the IP and port. Of course, not a good 
end user solution, nor the advised way to do it, for anything other than 
troubleshooting when you don't have a solution in place.

I can't really advise on a package, because so much has changed in the last 
8 years, since we installed them. Some have been discontinued as their proxy 
technology did not handle all the new ways web sites work and such. But 
again, I seem to remember than many web proxies provide much of that data. 
If primarily web usage tracking is wanted, Things like Windows 2000's proxy 
server, Firedoor, WinProxy, I think could do it. Haven't used those for ages 
though.

The common namebrand firewall appliances like Sonicwalls, now have modules 
for content control and management, at some level. Which provide some layer 
of tracking. As they are trying to migrate to attrack MSPs.

Outside of that... others actually doing it now, will probably have better 
advise for products to use.

I have a company that would like to track real-time and summary
 information of internet activity of it's employees (by IP).  They are
 looking for summary information, not email content/instant messenger
 chats/passwords.  What would be ideal would be a passive device that
 acts like a sniffer that either hits layer 7 and reads the
 www.xx.com from the data portion of the packets, or just looks at
 the DNS traffic, tracks IPs and reports it.  Maybe even amount of
 bandwidth spent at each IP... or something of that nature.



 Any ideas?  I have recommended software that is a keylogger and
 recorder, but they want something that is totally transparent, i.e.
 sniffer.

Re: [WISPA] Fiber Costs

2008-08-21 Thread Tom DeReggi
Interesting arcticle.

What so many forget is that Fiber does not just cost $4000 per sub to 
Verizon, it costs $17 /month per subscriber. There is a big difference. Long 
term beneift is undisputed.
The problem a small provider has to ask is... How do they fund it.

Its also important to note though that the $4000/sub accounts for all costs 
for full Fiber end to end.

It can cost much less for a partial hybrid fiber deployment that is cherry 
picked.

 From the article:
When it was announced, Verizon’s $23 billion planned investment in the
service, called FiOS, was met by a chorus of skeptics, both on Wall
Street and among rivals. Verizon rejected cheaper broadband alternatives
and decided to build the fiber system at an estimated cost of about
$4,000 for every customer.

I use RF Linx as well but that shipping out ground was only if you weren't
ordering Tranzeo boxes.  Those now ground ship But from Utah.  No more next

Interesting arcticle.

What so many forget is that Fiber does not just cost $4000 per sub to
Verizon, it costs $17 /month per subscriber. There is a big difference. Long
term beneift is undisputed.
The problem a small provider has to ask is... How do they fund it.

Its also important to note though that the $4000/sub accounts for all costs
for full Fiber end to end.

It can cost much less for a partial hybrid fiber deployment that is cherry
picked.

 From the article:
When it was announced, Verizon’s $23 billion planned investment in the
service, called FiOS, was met by a chorus of skeptics, both on Wall
Street and among rivals. Verizon rejected cheaper broadband alternatives
and decided to build the fiber system at an estimated cost of about
$4,000 for every customer.

Deliberant is a good product with outstanding support.
Yes I just put so in the field so far they work fine like the 2300 radios
do. They have lot more features then the old 2300 radios did. The new units
are the same thing as Ligowave gear or the Wiligear. They need to add a few
features to the OS but nothing manger.

I might suggest some 5GHz N radios as many clients have N these days. 
Also 2.4 b/g of course.

3.65 can be used for backhaul applications as well as point to multi 
point, perhaps as a master/slave
setup.  What kind of coverage area  are you looking at? What kind of 
geography?

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 as Mesh on Muni WiFi

2008-08-21 Thread Jerry Richardson
Thanks for the reply. 

We took over and currently operate a small Muni network that was
originally built with Vivato panels and access points. AP's connect to
the panels via WDS and this reasonably well but Vivato is defunct.

In order to continue deployment we started using another manufacturers
radios with one 802.11b/g with beam forming + 802.11a backhaul mesh
channel. Works very very well within itself but it does not
inter-operate with the existing Vivato WDS. The factory is working on
trying to resolve the issue but they don't seem real committed to
getting it working (maybe that will change).

On top of that, with the market the way it is, I get this nagging
feeling that they may pull out of the US market leaving me with yet
another unsupported radio.

Not being one to wait around I am exploring alternate solutions. One
idea was to roll my own mesh kits with MikroTik using two b/g + one n
radio for client access, and one 3.65 as BH (we are working on getting
our license). Seems like a good use of a 5MHz channel as well as
spectrum.

 I'm thinking that an MT board with two 2.4b/g radios and a 3.65 radio

I might suggest some 5GHz N radios as many clients have N these days. 
Also 2.4 b/g of course.

3.65 can be used for backhaul applications as well as point to multi
point, perhaps as a master/slave setup.  What kind of coverage area  are
you looking at? What kind of geography?

Re: [WISPA] Fixing dead CPE

2008-08-21 Thread Brian Rohrbacher




http://www.allcompc.com/
I have done all my cables thru these guys for the last couple years
now. No complaints. They will make anything, I have ordered 2 inch
mmcx to u.fl before. They make it all custom, just call and tell them
what you want. I usually deal with Cathy or Bill.

  Thanks!

Having taken my deaders apart now I see some with a u.fl pigtail and 
some with an MMCX or RP-MMCX pigtail.  (I always get those two mixed 
up)  I'd like to find a female MMCX  or female RP-MMCX to u.fl 
pigtail to use in these

Any ideas where to find those?  Anyone?

I just take two flathead screwdrivers and start in the middle of one of the
sides and keep working my way all the way around. Then I re-seal it with
some of that black silicone. Don't use the clear silicone it doesn't hold as
good. I've probably done 30 of these on out-of-warranty units and it works
great.

how do you get them open without breaking them?

And, maybe the crossroads would work in them?

RB133 and radio of your choice, costs around $100 and you get more features
than Tranzeo and I think better throughput. Only problem with the newer Slim
Line series the Rj-45 pigtail is gone since they mount their SBC right up to
the hole under the boot so adding an aftermarket board is a problem and I
haven't figured out how to do it yet.

Re: [WISPA] Fiber Costs

2008-08-21 Thread Tom DeReggi
Is it costing you that considering all costs (last mile, transport, NOC)?
Or just your last mile cost?

I know an MTU building can be connected /spliced into street fiber for as 
little as $700 in parts/labor, including only the time start to finish 
installing it.  (not all the beurocracy and planning time)

There are numerous respected people in this industry that have pitched an 
average Fiber deployment to cost  around $20/mon per sub over 20 years. 
That could mean alot of different things.

I'd be interested in hearing more about what you deliver for $1000/ sub?

If that is what it cost me, I would never be able to afford it.
Good thing it only costs me about $1K per sub.

Interesting arcticle.

What so many forget is that Fiber does not just cost $4000 per sub to
Verizon, it costs $17 /month per subscriber. There is a big difference. Long
term beneift is undisputed.
The problem a small provider has to ask is... How do they fund it.

Its also important to note though that the $4000/sub accounts for all costs
for full Fiber end to end.

It can cost much less for a partial hybrid fiber deployment that is cherry
picked.

Hmmm...

http://www.go-nowires.com/wireless-blog/fios-too-risky/

 From the article:
When it was announced, Verizon’s $23 billion planned investment in the
service, called FiOS, was met by a chorus of skeptics, both on Wall
Street and among rivals. Verizon rejected cheaper broadband alternatives
and decided to build the fiber system at an estimated cost of about
$4,000 for every customer.

Re: [WISPA] CPE radios

Only when they break. For me, they only seem to fail after lighting strikes.

 I understand about the lightning.  But it's funny how often the new tranzeo
 units go out while everything else just keeps running.

  Marlon,
 
  I LOVE my Tranzeo radios. Before using them, I all but gave up on 802.11.
  In
  an effort to assist, I dont have the disconnect issues you mention.  I've
  got StarOS on WRAP boards for AP's.
  I dont have any power supply issues either except from the expected
  lightning. I use 15 volt units from Prime Electronics which I get for
  $2.99!

  Hi All,
 
  I really like my Tranzeo CPQ radios.  But we're seeing a LOT of power
  supply
  failures (and they are too cheap to even warranty, we just buy new
 ones).
  Sometimes they don't fully fail either, they go low or something, the
  injector lights up like it should but the radio just won't work right.
 
  What's really a problem is the dang'd Mikrotik to Tranzeo CPQ disconnect
  problem.  It's driving my gamers and business customers nutso.  All CPQ
  radios disconnect and reconnect at the same time, sometimes every few
  minutes, sometimes every couple of days.
 
  This happens when there is an XR2 card in the Mikrotik.  Doesn't seem to
  matter what firmware is on the radios.
 
  Did I say that I also really like the MT ap's?  They are too complicated
  to
  set up, but once that's done they work very well and give me great
  information on who's doing what on my network.  And I am a point and
  click
  GUI kinda guy so StarOS is really hard for me to deal with.  And I've
  recently replaced an MT ap with Star, no real difference that I can see
  as
  far as the customer experience is concerned.  I don't think we're
 getting
  the disconnects, but I just can't deal with the management mechanism for
  Star so I'm not totally sure.
 
  Anyway, I tried a couple of the Ubiquity cpe units.  I liked the
  electronic
  polarization capability.  Hated the router config.  And, they have both
  basically failed in just a few months of service.  They were still
  working,
  but the rx went to pot in them.  (19 dB tranzeo had -82 when put in vs.
  the -97 of the ubiquity when it was pulled out)  So, now I have a
  telecommuter with a Ubiquity radio that's on the fritz, can't use a
  tranzeo
  because of the disconnect issue (she works via voip and can't use the
  phone
  when it keeps dropping out for a second or two all day long).
 
  What are people having good luck with?
 
  I can't believe that wifi radios won't really connect to each other
  correctly at this stage of the game.  Some of our manufacturers are
  getting
  too lazy I think.  I need cheap gear, but mostly I need gear that works.
 
  I long for the old Teletronics 2 meg ap's.  Some of those from 2000 are
  still in use today!  We never have to touch them!
 
  I think I'm gonna set up an MT unit to be a cpe for the one customer.
  But
  I
  have to figure out what to use going forward.  Either better ap's or
 cpe.
 
  For AP's I REALLY like the Teletronics 172 units.  They are cheap and
  work
  very well with either b or g client radios.  But they blow ethernet
 ports
  far too easily, and they lock up too often.  And I've NEVER used a worse
  AP
  than the Tranzeo 6000 radios.  What a POS those are.  Constant lockups!
   But
  not at all locations.  Sometimes they work pretty well, but usually they
  just suck.
 
  deep sigh
 
  Suggestions?
