Possible future product for support/admin. Function would be to collate Access Point data for status/location/ and TMM usage

Currently access points (cradlepoint) email their logs on bootup and when the logs are full. Those logs are emailed to accesspoint@agtek.com on newer firmware or to individual names (ex: AP109 emails AP9@agtek.com which is aliased to accesspoints@agtek.com.

There are two reasons to care about this. The log sent on bootup contains the current IP address of the access point. With that you can get into the access point remotely through a browser (http://IP_Address:8080). This allows confirmation the access point is running and allows checking of it's state (cell link quality, etc.) The other reason to get logs is that they show who, what, and when other devices connect to them. For example: This statement shows that the TMM serial number E5E2ABD9 connected and disconnected to the access point from 15:36:37 to 15:41:40

[INFO] Mon Apr 20 15:41:40 2009 The DHCP server address 192.168.0.100 was released by the network device - the network device no longer wants to use it. [WARN] Mon Apr 20 15:41:02 2009 A network computer (001EE5E2ABD9) was assigned the IP address of 192.168.0.100. [INFO] Mon Apr 20 15:40:59 2009 Wireless system with MAC address 001EE5E2ABD9 associated [INFO] Mon Apr 20 15:36:37 2009 Wireless system with MAC address 001EE5E2ABD9 disconnected for reason: Received Deauthentication

With this we can get better idea of TMM update behaviours on the job or if a Access Point is not located to be accessible on a job. Right now, all this functionality is available but requires very specific, manual processes to lookup. For example, I can look up whether a TMM has ever connected within a day's logs but have no easy way of collating who and what connected to the access point.

Receive emails and parse current info on Access Point status, who is connecting, graphing connection times (?). Show current position (GPS data is currently iffy). Give automated remote connection link for Admin)
