[HamWAN PSDR] POLL: How do you feel about HamWAN network having shared control of the microwave modem @ your location?

[Bart Kus]

Hello,

Keeping the network and all client devices correctly configured is no 
easy feat.  These are complicated devices with 100s of settings, which 
will need to change in coordinated ways over time.  To ensure correct 
operation, it would make sense for the HamWAN network to push updates 
and change settings on end-user modems.  Almost all ISPs run this way 
already.  The difference is you can still login + control your device, 
but any setting changes you make which make the device non-compliant in 
ways HamWAN cares about would be automatically overridden with a config 
update from the network.  If the network can't control and repair your 
device settings, you would lose authorization onto the network until the 
settings are fixed.

I see this shared administration model as the only one that's feasible 
in keeping a reliable network running.

Please let me know if you are OK with it, if you object to it, or if you 
have a better idea.

Thanks,

--Bart
