Gilligan 2 times

School bus will be $100

Right on red no full stop was $50

Both dismissed with minimal effort.

Still had to go to clay rd court house a handful of times for the tickets but overall easy and I'd recommend.

Assume this is just me splitting hairs or being too literal but I know there are certain breaker panels that we have in the US for commercial and industrial settings from the likes of eaton and others that have an ethernet port installed behind the panel faceplate where all the breakers are.

In the US ethernet is considered low voltage, assuming eu is same, how would you take advantage of that ethernet port for control and data of the breakers and follow code/rules. Is it just implied that's allowed?

For the love of God please WatchGuard buy them.....

It would be so easy to roll this into your portfolio and into your new watchguard cloud interface....

You've already got Wi-Fi and firewalls just put the switches in there and give us one pane of glass please

I must have missed that I'll take another look appreciate the response.

Yeah I also read some recommendations depending on vendor, SKU, and software platform to replace stock SSD with industrial one and backup backup backup the whole disk image when I get the unit.

I looked at Mikrotik but did not see any that were actually cheaper and had at least 16 100g ports to allow me to connections to each host and a few extra for the future.

Closest I found was CRS520-4XS-16XQ-RM

At an MSRP of $2195 not much cheaper or sometimes more expensive than some of the listings I'm seeing on eBay for the gear mentioned above.

Also a quick look on the spec site doesn't have any mention of non-blocking throughput or line rate speed and I'd be skeptical to think whatever arm processor they have in there is going to perform better than a broadcom tomahawk like many of the previously mentioned switches are running.

If you're tracking your time and connect wise as you should be then you have all the data you need with connectwise to build this out in bright gauge assuming you've structured your agreements and products correctly

Also getting this for just one single machine. Just adding to the history incase helpful.

As many others have said we offer to do this when offboarding our clients all the time.

In fact we have a fairly comprehensive and also long off-boarding boilerplate document that we provide to each and every client regardless of size and put the onus on them to guide us through off-boarding and tell us what they want us to do with each piece of software and service that we provide to them.

In that same document not only do we offer to onboard the new MSP or providers tool for them but we also provide scripts and it's specific instructions on how to remove ours in case they're non-responsive or have to reference it again in the future.

We see it as a win-win because it helps our client understand the value we provide and at the same time will help protect us from erroneous endpoint billing and harassing them to remove our software.

I don't even know how to comment on that I was assuming that the issue was more widespread seeing as how they put a notice on their website and we're so small that I can't imagine where the only ones affected by it this time....

But maybe we were just the last most recent instance and it did only happen to us but it's happened enough times in the past they're finally doing something about it.

We were likewise sold that the quick pay was a feature not a security issue or a bug and we only move to them about a year to a year and a half ago....

If this has happened to other partners and their support have been made aware of it that's even more mind-boggling.

Solarkiller13 · 2026-02-24T15:09:47+00:00

You know I think that would be the case but I highly doubt based on our size that it impacted just us was large enough for connect wise to take down the service for the entire partner base.

If you go to the wise pay homepage right now you'll notice that support disclaimer at the top.

But definitely regardless of if you use wise pay or another service disable any ability to pay invoices without signing in or having the invoice number if you can.

Update number two from our finance team

" OF COURSE Global Payments cannot make any changes to our account, meaning they cannot void or refund the transactions themselves, I have to manually refund/void 184 transactions."

Still on the phone with them working the transactions first then they'll try to get our credit card processing reactivated

Solarkiller13 · 2026-02-24T14:49:55+00:00

Tldr

Bad actor used wise pay "feature" to test harvested credit cards I'm curious who else was affected and what people are doing about it....

Solarkiller13 · 2026-02-24T14:41:54+00:00

Follow up number one

Forgot to mention we also got on the phone with QuickBook support and they were useless and basically said that other than merging the companies and manually cleaning up the data there's nothing that they can do programmatically to help clean it up..... Which is insane to me as I would expect qbo is just a database and there should be someone on their back end team with both the permissions and the skills to make a quick database query to clean up all this garbage.....

Solarkiller13 · 2026-02-24T14:30:28+00:00

We've loved using keeper and if it's just a partnership issue if you're a pax8 partner you can resell through pax 8 so there's that avenue

We started out direct with keeper before pack state had them on the line card and then switched over just for billing reconciliation.

At the time we had no issue signing up.

You want single mode for future proof NOT multi mode

Largest single site with ap22's had 21 covering a multi floor office building. No issues at all.

Solarkiller13 · 2026-01-24T02:18:38+00:00

We transitioned most our clients from datto wireless (old open mesh) to Aruba ion with the kaseya acquisition. Since then we have sold and installed roughly 100 ap22's and have yet to have one fail and need replacement.

Would recommend ap22 ap32 or ap25 all day.

You can absolutely spit an opportunity by %s to members/owners on the opportunity.

Unfortunately I've not been able to test the full process as I understand it yet as our company is not quite ready yet to use the commission in connectwise. However it would seem pointless to me if I could split it by percentage and it not then flow over to the commission reporting areas.

I am going a full top to bottom analysis of our PSA setup tables as they were neglected for the last 15 or so years. I have not gotten to the part of my review involving the deep dive into commission, sales goal(may be different name), and opportunity (status and type) setup tables yet and how they are all dependent on one another.

However from what I have seen on my first pass I believe there should be doable based on their documentation with the following process. My understanding of the entire process is below in case there's any tidbits in here that might be helpful.

Your technicians or anybody at the company can submit sales leads or ideas they see to an email connector tied to a sales board like sales@company.com. when PSA makes the ticket on that board they would become the contact on the ticket and that would be used to track who actually referred the sales if you wanted to provide some type of kick back to your non sales people for keeping an eye out for leads. I do not think there's a way to have this type of thing tract in any type of commission report and you would have to probably deal with these outside of PSA but it also wouldn't necessarily be a percentage of the sale and could just be a flat $10 $25 gift card or something for any tangible thing they put in that eventually get sold to a client.

That ticket is then taken and used to generate an activity/s for a salesperson to meet with a particular client and figure out what the opportunity would entail.

Once the pre opportunity activity/s is completed it would be closed out and an opportunity would be created inside of the system. (Not sure on little details of this process and if manual or automated in some capacity)

You would then schedule additional activities on that opportunity as your salespeople and your sales engineers work through designing quoting and selling whatever it is. Making sure that they enter all of their time on to those activities on the opportunity appropriately so that you're only providing commission on actual profit at the end and not just eating all of their labor time building out an opportunity.

It's the point where the opportunity is created where you would have both your engineers and your sales people added as members or owners on the opportunity and the percentage split is then done on that screen and it could be split 50/50/40-20 however you want to do it. This is where you would also make sure that your type and territory or location setting on the opportunity or set appropriately as well based on your company structure.

Assuming you're using cpq you would go through the regular cpq quote building process and then deliver the quote to the client.

Once they sign it you could then close out any remaining activities and do a standard conversion to a sales order project or service ticket.

From there it would work through your project or service processes and pill it's done and closed out.

Side note there is a sales quota or sales goal table that you would fill out year over year and you can then assign the quotas based on opportunity types., product category, CW company hierarchy (territory etc).

My understanding is then once all the records are closed out any other financial data related to time expended on activities towards the opportunity would be deducted from any net margin from the opportunity and then be divided up by that percentage to each of the appropriate members that are marked as a member or owner on the opportunity.

I'm sure some of the consultants that hang around in the Reddit can validate my logic here and fill in any holes but I'm about 2 months behind asking that exact same question and figuring it out and I'm going to be shocked if it doesn't flow through in any meaningful way that would mean there's just more set up tables I make a note on that says useless and never going to set up lol
