Re New project WISP-MSS at sourceforge Looks good! I have been working away on a system that could become a part of such a large suite. It provides long term logging of wireless network variables. It also sends you an email if for example the signal level on a link to a certain customer drops under a pre-programmed level. Support for Smartbridges is due out soon. At the moment the supported units are Orinocco/Karlnet, and Alvarion. Take a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/wavewatcher/   Regards Dominic Kilbride   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Haynes Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 9:07 AM To: Smart Bridges list Subject: [smartBridges] WISP Management and Support Suite   I have started a new project at sourceforge.net called WISP-MSS located here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wisp-mss/   Everyone, please visit the forums and post any wish lists. This is an open source project that will be available to everyone for free. The more ideas that we get, the better the suite will be. If anyone is interested in contributing to documentation, scripting, user interface, technical advice, visual appearance or to submit any custom scripts that you have already created and would like to share please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]net  so I can add you to the developer group.   Current ideas for WISP-MSS: SNMP management of network (similar to simpleNMS but with more features for SB tweaking and other mfg device support) Network event management (IE. Email soandso about action A, send reset command if action B, poll for events and traps, etc...) Bandwidth management Customer tracking Accounting Billing Inventory tracking (deployed and stock) Network mapping and visualization Network simulating Coverage mapping Client help desk and support center Knowledge base Client forums and mailing lists Network service management (DNS, DHCP, NNTP, SMTP, Routing, etc...) Network planning services   Design concept: Suite will be configured to run from a central location ran by third party for most functions, eliminating the need to indepth knowledge of services required. Company and customer private information will reside on your own network and used by web based scripts running on you own machines so no private information ever leaves your control. Network monitoring and control is cordinated by third party servers using monitoring software run on your network. Monitoring software uses self-contained 'Watchdogs' to maintain management when off network methods are unavailable. The 'Third Party' could be a distributed service ran on all of the Suite's user's computers to keep availability high and computer time free as well as having multiple routes to check for system integrity.
