BUGS

fixed some minor bugs reported by users

fixed bug at cable user (connected via CMTS), where it was possible to duplicate MAC address of the modem.

NEWS

when the option "user monitoring" is active (in client card / active services) so in this case graph contains ping to client. Now this graph could be displayed in "Statistic of internet" as well.

page with routers now has width 1200px for clearer view.

After editing of network interface of the router, the system will save his position in the list of routers. In the past after save of changes system shown the first router from list.

While the active service is selected in the Schedule and address of installation is different from client's address, the system will show this address in "Daily" and "Weekly plan" below the client's address.

NAGIOS

added possibility to monitor end customers. Each service has option "Report drop-out for nagios". While selected there is option to select contact group which will be receiver of reports. Group can be defined in the tab "Settings / Codebooks / Nagios". If the client is monitored by Nagios, the system tests online state automaticaly and send notification via email or SMS (active SMS gateway) while goes offline. Monitored client is also displayed on topology map in the tab "Nagios".

in the tab "Customers / Internet" clients can be displayed according to selected option in pop-up menu "Ping monitoring" or "Nagios monitoring".

RADIUS

there is possible to add special attributes to Internet services. This function must be activated in the tab "Settings / Sys. settings / Mikrotik" and set up the key "radius_sync_manually_added_attributs" to value "1".

in the "Client card - Radius" there is the item "Manually added attributes" for adding special attributes (adding of the special attributes must be activated).

individual attributes are displayed in the "Client card - Radius" for each Internet service.

when the client is stopped in the case system add to the attribute "Auth-Type:= Reject" and client cannot log-in.

CMTS

readjustment of statistics of each headend

informations about downstream are loaded automatically. The system displays current frequency, bandwidth with setting of transmitted quality of the signal.

informations about upstream are loaded automatically only in the case while they are separated to logical channels (headend must support it).

for the physical channel the system displays frequency, bandwidth, Power level and current SNR on the actual upstream.

for logical channel the system displays modulation, number of online / offline users. Roll-overing the number of users displays additional informations about users in followed states - online, offline, unregistered and rejected (in the case that headend supports it e.g. ARRIS C3).

for each reverse channel there is possible to display the SNR graph.

at the ARRIS C3 headend there is possible to edit "frequency, bandwith and Power level values" for each reverse channel. After click on save button the system apply changes in the headend in five minutes. This function is now available only for ARRIS C3 headend type.

adapted displaying of SNR for client which are connected via CMTS

BILLING

in the menu tab "Billing / Settlements / History" there is possible to display a list of settlements for defined period. Specify day could be selected from Pop-up menu.

in the menu tab "Billing / Settings / Universal" there is a new item "matching_payment" which define the way how to match import from the bank.

There are two possible ways:

0 - Matching of payments by VS or SS (used in the past till the version 3.43 was released). Payment is successfully matched at least with one consistent symbol on the invoice.

1 - Both symbols (VS and SS) must be consistent with an invoice. In opposite case the system will not match payment and it will be necessary to match it manually.

in the menu tab "Billing / Settings / Payment types" there is possible to change text heading for the item "Send an invoice by post" which will be displayed on invoice.

possibility to count difference in excess which are lower than price on the invoice ( Partial payment of invoices)

in the "Client card / Billing" there is summary of difference in excess of the client

MIKROTIK

in the case when backup of the router does not works, so there is possible to start backup script in "the check mode" for displaying the procedure of backup and possible errors. Script (in the check mode) can be start by command:

/usr/local/script/ispadmin/backup_conf.pl debug

eventually for specified router with ID parameter. This parameter can be found for each router in the menu tab "Routers":

/usr/local/script/ispadmin/backup_conf.pl  debug

by this command the system will backup configuration of specified router and also display procedure of the backup

some version of Mikrotik have problem with communication via API and it causes "freeze" of the script which download data from Mikrotik. This scripts overload CPU of the server and the whole system goes slower. In according to this problem we have developed "check mode", which provide downloading data from Mikrotik. Script (in the check mode) is possible to start-up by the command:

starts-up downloading data from Mikrotik:

/usr/local/script/ispadmin/get_data_from_mikrotik.pl all debug

starts-up downloading data from all routers with max. informations including communication with Mikrotik. Value is between 1-9 and depends on level of check mode:

/usr/local/script/ispadmin/get_data_from_mikrotik.pl all debug 9

starts-up downloading data from all routers with max. informations:

/usr/local/script/ispadmin/get_data_from_mikrotik.pl  debug 9

LOCALIZATION

system is now fully localized for Spain
