@CSupWe are not able to recreate this. Alternate IP is automatically enabled as part of configuring network settings. Can you send us the debug logs when this happens? Also, when you start, is the SM in factory default configuration?2. (BREAKING) Alternative IP should be automatically enabled, once again i lost access during the install, i had to login with browser and turn on Alternative IP, that way the dhcp my network gives the SM when it connects doesn't kill the app connection, this is a big issue, and without it breaks the install flow, if you don't want to make it the default for every install of cnArcher make it configurable via the settings menu of the app/qr.
Yes it was in default, we had factory defaulted the radio before starting i can try again and see if it happens again, but for sure the time we did it from factory default it did it at least once it didn't enable Alternate IP and stopped the install which is a big issue
We don't see this, but will review how long the app waits. Again, it is useful to know if you are starting from factory default configuration or not.4. (MINOR) During the upgrade to 15.2 the app started saying "please reconnect to sm wifi, waiting for reboot, please reconnect to sm wifi", it seemed like perhaps the timer for the error was too short as i think 15.2 takes a bit to startup after upgrade, eventually the radio came up (was monitoring via ping on laptop via the wifi dongle), and then i clicked ok again and it found the radio was upgraded, and continued with install was quite annoying, perhaps better way to handle vs just throwing an, retry message or just extend the wait time before error.
Yes we were factory defaulted
We are planning to upload the installation summary to cnMaestro so the administrator has access to details of every installation. Will this meet your requirement (as an alternate to automated emails)?6. (IMPORTANT) Ability would greatly be appreciated to set an "auto-report email" and that once the installer clicks "done" at the end of install the report would just get sent to that email address, vs having to use a "share" for each install, as the share method makes it seem optional, and I can imagine most of our networks want these reports to be sent as a requirement.
While doing that is nice, I think having install criteria that require an email to auto-send would be a great option, especially if opting out of cnMaestro on the install side, in reality, there should be an options in settings, auto-send report email <yes/no> with email address field and auto-report to cnMaestro <yes/no> Allowing the company to choose what reporting scheme is best for them
This will be part of the "Installation Criteria" feature, but no dates for this yet.7. (MINOR) Add ability to require X pictures, before an installer can click done, maybe in settings just something that says "Require X pictures per install" that way at end if the installer clicks done, and forgot to take a picture it will say something like "pictures required to submit report", would really be nice QOL adjustment.
Installation Criteria/Requirements sounds like a great thing/feature as I imagine i can't be the only one battling with poor reporting from technicians during installs
Will add link test type to the next release. Also, instead of a setting for default link test, app will remember the last one used. Is that OK?11. (IMPORTANT) Link Test mode/throughputs are only showing the last test I think, we did 3 tests (1 extra and 2 bridged, and only 1 showed up in the report), also would be good if the app had a setting to set what the default link test type should be.
Remembering the type is definitely enough
Will wait for more feedback on this. While it is easy to convert the contents to HTML, some customers may want to scan the email and dump it into a database, which is easier if it is text and the format does not keep changing as we try to make it look nicer. We will definitely have a GUI display once we start sending the install summary to cnMaestro.12. (IMPORTANT) Possibly making an option to have either a dumped report like it is now or a bit nicer formatted html report, as the current report really gives me flashbacks of the standard apeval page, no reason the report can't be set as an option to be html formatted to look and be more visible to the company reviewers, would also allow for things like not having 1 link test spread onto 4 lines
While I understand what your saying and can see what your trying to accomplish, it's not really great, having a text dump is really not perfect for devs nor for Managers, Managers want a nice clean email to read which the text result currently isn't, and developers want a structured dump (json/yaml). What I'd say is its just a formatting issue, would be easy enough to have a setting that can be set to an email type, dev template = dump to json in email, html template = nice with some light CSS to make the email not a pain to look at for management/supervisors. This sort of feels like one of those "we don't want to bloat the 450 ui to make it nicer to look at because..." to the point a guy had to write a chrome extension to modernize it that probably everyone has to install to make the apeval window useable lol
As for the GUI in cnMaestro for reporting while that's a nice one for looking back at the install from the SM when it was first installed, it doesn't solve the immediate need for supervisors to see the daily reports and how the installer is performing on a day-to-day basis.
