Release 18.07.06 [Stable]

Billing Updates

  • Late Fee – You can now specify when the late fee is applied (X Days After Due), and it no longer is forced to be simultaneous with the account delinquency and shut off.

Monitoring Updates

  • Fixed a few issues with data not being fully collected for graphing purposes, causing no graphs or graphs with chunks missing. The most apparant place being the BMU throughput graph.

Interface Updates

We’re making our way through Powercode and giving various pages some much needed facelifts by implementing a more modern UI. You’ll see us do some basic pages first. We can’t wait for you to see what we have in store for the more forefront pages. Keep an eye out.

  • Re-skinned Customer Balance Detail report.

  • Re-skinned Add/Edit RMU page.

  • Updated the way Powercode actually creates signatures in Saisei to account for existing, custom signatures.
  • Hosts without an access point now get set to ‘<none>’ instead of being empty. This helps with some edge cases that caused issues.
  • Powercode will no longer delete a rate plan from Saisei. It is not necessary to do so and avoids some weirdness on the STM if a rogue host is still attached to that rate plan.
  • Validation was added when setting ‘Internal Subnets’ on the edit RMU page to make sure empty lines were treated as such.
  • Slave BMUs will no longer go into a ‘Bad’ status simply because a service was edited and pushed to Saisei.

Preseem Integration

cnMaestro Integration

We’ve more or less integrated everything cnMaestro allows us to integrate. We should have some historical graphs showing in a future release soon.

  • If a device is ‘Offline’, we now hide the reboot button.
