Admissions audit conversion issues and "no audit found"

hello,
We used the conversion programs provided to convert any old admission in SAP that was in "created" status to attach an audit.
However, this process would not work for any approved or rejected admission records.
We need to be able to reverse a decision in certain cases or even update the year and session.
If we try we get a "no audit found" error message at the bottom of the screen.
We also can't delete these admission records to re-create them with an audit due to this error.
Has anyone run into this problem and if so...did you find a solution?
Thanks.
Mike

Hi Michael,
Please check the following thread: http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10574738#10574738
This might help in defining, creating a more advanced custom program to solve this issue.
The most easy solution is to have a new admission record. This could have the same info but has an own (new and correct) status, will have a correct audit profile attached to it and you are able to change any data in future. Subsequently you then can delete the old admission record (direct via tables or via custom program).
Best regards

Nokia's 5800XM issues (and something I found out)

Hello guys,
I'm also a proud owner of the 5800XM. I read here a lot about the "crack" problem in the right side of the panel.
I've opened the rear cover and understood a really simple fact: It's mainly because of Nokia's bad ergonomics. See for yourself - The phone have 4 screws in the inner side, but only 3 of them are in the corners. the 4th - the problematic one - is not in the corner because of the phone's structure, so it holds the other part of the phone weaker - and that's why this corner have the crack. and not, it's not legitimate at all though. I think that a big and good company as Nokia had to done it better. And I'm not sure it is something repairable. I guess I'll have to live with that.
More things that I don't like, and I was wondering if others experiencing it like I do:
1. When I'm in Speaker mode, I can hear the other side well but they say that I'm not heard that good. And if the phone a little bit further from me (for 20cm for example), I'm barely heard by other side (I had 6280 before and it worked much better).
2. When earpiece's volume is on Max, I hear the other side with some distortion, like somebody putsome thin paper on the earpiece, especially when the other side speaks loudly or with a high tone. When I reduced the volume by two clicks, it sounds much better but also less loud.
Do you think that these are the problems and I should consider to get to Nokia's service point or it's normal (for this model)?
Last words - I really like this phone, in most its preferences, it's a proper not so expansive cutie

Admission Audit

Dear All,
I configured the admission audit process as per requirements.
Everything is set properly.
While booking the student in desired course, system is giving an error message saying no assessment found or the admission assessment is not complete.
System is not allowing me to create assessment as academic year and session are missing from T.Code screen PIQEVALREGM - Edit Assessment Processes
Please suggest a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards

Right-click on the assessment in your Progam Catalog.
Select 'Change object'.
You will be taken to transaction PP01 for object maintenance.
Select the 'Sessions of Offering' infotype, and create your entries there.

Admission audit - manual override of audit results

Hello -
Not sure if this is a config issue on our side or an SAP issue. When the users use the GUI to manually override a particular requirement from the original audit results ex: from 'not met' to 'irrelevant' and save, it works. However, as soon as an audit is executed again (which we want it to do a lot in case that last piece completes it) the manual overrides are wiped out and the original results are returned.
Did any one else have this issue? If yes, how did you fix it? Is there a way to keep our manual overrides? We followed the audit cookbook for our config.
thanks,
Denise

Hi Denise,
As Prabhat said this is the design of the framework, it checkes rules during the assessment run and is used as a bases to decide if there is a pass or fail on the rules. There is no hidden IMG entry to enable the overriding elements in the admission audit. This only works if you are intending to approve the admission directly after you override a rule (first save before you approve!).
We also encounter this requirement at Dutch universities and the need for manual override of rules too. There we used an automatic admission audit assessment run during the night which manual overriden the rules (got back to 'red' again, hence fail).
We 'solved' this by conducting a thorough investigation on the rules (content) and a re-design of rules to make them more rigid
OR more flexible. Plus for rules which really needed override capabilities we created a seperate tab in the Student File which provided the flexibility to overrride particular rules per open admission.
Due to this minor development effort we could keep the standard strenghts of the audt framework and we provide flexibility or overriding rules

Admission Audit Run (Action is not possible; function not released yet)

Hi All,
I have created a Requirement Profile Template for admission audit and attached it with a program of study.
But when I am trying to run the admission audit using Transaction PIQAUD_MP_CS, its giving a message that...
Action is not possible; function not released yet....
Please tell me what does this message indicate, please let me know if u need more information regarding it.
Thanks in Advance

Dear Michael,
Thanks for such a beautiful and elaborative answer. Please read my comments on the points you discussed :
Create an admissions record: at this time a requirement profile is automatically generated for the program of study, as long as your program has been defined as 'Use Assessments'.
Yes its generating a requirement profile automatically as soon as admission record is created.
In the student file, go to the admissions tab and look for the icon that represents 'Audit Details'. (It looks like the icon for 'syntax check' in ABAP). Click on that.
On Clicking 'Audit Details' icon it leads to another screen which contains all information like Admission application data but requirements section is blank.
Now you are taken to a screen where you can see the admissions audit profile for the student. Execute the audit there, and you will see the list of checkboxes and results.
The requirement screen is blank. No error message.
Though i maintained the Requirement Profiles and RPT as per Cookbooks.
I want to download the screen shots of Requirement Profiles and RPT. Please let me know how to upload screen shots in SDN.
Warm Regards

Admission Audit - conditional admit

Hello - we have about 400 students a year start classes before we have received the required documentation - basically it is a conditional admit. We are in the process of implementing Admission Audit and can't figure out how to do this. It appears that once the status has changed to "approved" on the admission tab, you can no longer run the audit. (We would like to do this to track that the student is sending in the documentation as required.) Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Denise,
With the creation of an admission application, an Assessment Process and a Requirement Profile are generated. This Requirement Profile is called as u2018checklistu2019. Please note that requirements should not be defined in different catalogs and all the requirements should be dependent on the programs of study. If these pre-requisites are fulfilled, use Requirement Profile Templates for Admission Audit.
For admission to a program, students need to send documents to the university. If documents are missing, the student should get a reminder mail/letter. Required documents are checked within an admission audit (checklist). A check for a certain document type should be represented by a Sub Requirement. So, the failed Sub Requirements indicate which documents are missing.
To be able to send students appropriate correspondence, the system needs to know which one of the Sub Requirements are related to missing document check or, in general, which of the Sub Requirements should be part of a reminder letter.
Therefore you can set a reminder flag for a Concrete Requirement and for a Requirement Element in a Requirement Profile template respectively. All Sub Requirements within those Concrete Requirements or below those Requirement Elements in a Requirement Profile template, respectively, are considered to be requirements students need to be reminded for.
In your case, the time gap between admission and admission audit run is too high. Run the admission audit for subrequirements and mark the document submitted requirement as not relevant. Approve the application and create admission and registrations. Ask your technical team to develop a report based on admission audit result, read the subrequirements mark as not relevant. Update them manually (Change from not relevant to required) whenever students submits the documents.
However, the above solution is theoretical and i have not tried it but i hopw it will work.

Conversion rate between AUD5 and USD not found

Hi,
In a classic scenario, I created a shopping card. And created P.O at the back end. And trying to do the Confirmation of goods. I am seeing this error.
"Conversion rate between AUD5 and USD not found "
I check the Organization unit Currency its USD only.
User used under the Orginzation unit who inherited this attribute.
Any Idea where things wrong.
Thanks in advance.
rao

Hi All,
I don't want to import or define the exchange rate. I am using US currency only. I use Xk02/xk03. I didn't found any option to check the vendor currency.
Looks like somewhere I messed up the currency. Any idea
Thanks!

A Gigaware 9pin to 4pin fw cable solved my issue. The Rocketfish fw cable was crap. And that thing cost me $24.99 from Best Buy. Getting my money back for sure.

Ongoing WiFi issues and Apple Support's lack of support!

Hi All,
I bought my MacBook Air in July/August 2012 (i7, 8GB RAM, 256 GB HDD, Mountain Lion). Since the first day, I have had issues with wifi connectivity. My primary use was at the university in Australia, where I had frequent drop outs and at times no connection at all. the university does not officially support Apple products and I was stuck with Apple support asking me to check with network administrators. I was also advised to re-install the OS, reset PRAM etc with no improvements. Then I had a 4 month stint as an exchange student in an Indian university. As i was not using my laptop at the university, I couldnt monitor the WiFi connectivity in these 4 months. Once back in Australia in January 2013, the issue surfaced again. Multiple conversations with Apple Support led me to another 4 re-installations and replacing my router with an uber expensive one. The reasons given by Apple were either the router's quality or interference from other networks. The new router supported 5Ghz band and had no intereference what so ever. I started to notice that the connectivity is far better with the wifi signal showing full range, but internet does not work. All is well if I am sitting right next to the router. The minute i move 5-8 metres away, Internet becomes super slow (from 12-14 Mbps to 1-2 Mbps on speedtest.net) and eventually does not load. At the same time, all other devices, including my iphone 5, ipad 2, ipad mini and other PCs in the apartment works perfectly fine.
On speaking to Apple Support, i was asked to conduct SNR checks and found out that the SNR readings fluctuate like ****. From 1-2 to 25-30. The Signal strength on my MacBook Air stays at -75dB to -65 dB. Armed with this info, the Airport card was replaced. But the issue still persists. The MacBook Air is presently at Apple waiting to get its display (antennas are embedded here) replaced. But I have lost total confidence in Apple. Is there anyone who had similar issues and found a stable solution? Other symptoms which may be connected are Mail becoming nonresposive intermitently, Power Nap function not working, battery life never more than 4 hours.
Apple Support has been appalling in a very courteous manner. Even though the commincation and care they took to talk to me, the issue hasnt been solved and its been 11 months!!
Any comments, advices and support will be appreciated.
Thank You!

I am sorry, maybe my comment was vague. I am an engineer too albiet in the medical devices sector. Problem for me is that, I have been talking to Apple for about 11 months now. If you know where I live and how far the Apple Store is, you'd understand my frustration. I have been accomodating so far and do love the customer service experience I get from Apple. I am a proud owner of 2 iPads, an iPad mini, an iPod classic, an iPod Touch, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5 besides the MacBook Air. They are the most courteous and receptive Customer Service Reps out there. But all the courtesy does not hide the fact that my MBA is 11 months old and still having an issue starting 11 monthds ago. I had taken this machine to the stores numerous times. With the last week, i was getting to a point where I felt I have done enough to try everything except replacement of the machine to try fixing this issue. But now, Apple wont play ball. the rep said, i quote "your machine is almost a year old and you cant expect Apple to replace it". they have support call documents to prove that i have been talking to them about the issue since 11 months and to top it all, I have also purchased the $279 extended warranty. At the time of purchase the rep promised me that 'I would be send a box containing a loan machine while yours can be sent to us and fixed'. if you go through my posts here in mac forum, I had raised the issue here as well.
Now coming to the question, I have exhausted my options with Apple support and wanted to know if anyone else had the same issue and found a fix. With that maybe i can stop pulling my hair apart - realistically, stop myself from making another long trip to the Apple Store.

Conversion issue in encoding in PI

Hi,
I am having a problem in conversion issue for encoding. Let's have a detailed look into the scenario first.
Scenario: SNC->PI (through Proxy)->MQ (through Receiver JMS adapter)->SeeBeyond (It's a middleware system).
Here from SNC, data are coming into PI as in UTF-8 encoding, whereas all the systems shown in the above flow are of ISO 8859_1 format. Hence UTF-8 needs to be converted into ISO 8859_1. PI does this conversion in Receiver JMS adapter. CCSID has been set to 00819 which is for ISO 8859_1 encoding. But the beginning of the xml, it remains still UTF-8, like below:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
Whereas the content of the xml has already been converted into ISO 8859_1 by Receiver JMS adapter. Now let's see the problem now.
Problem: After the data been passed in SeeBeyond, the mapping fails in SeeBeyond, since SeeBeyond tries to look at the XML tag from the beginning and it found it's in UTF-8 as per he tag above. Then it tries to map it in UTF-8 format whereas the content is in ISO 8859_1, so mapping fails in SeeBeyond. Please note, here allthe systems except SeeBeyond are just bypassing the data, no mapping been introduced in anywhere in the systems except SeeBeyond.
Workaround: Is there any other chance where we can change the tag header from UTF-8 to ISO 8859_1 in Receiver JMS adapter itself in PI like this:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso 8859_1" ?>
This might resolve our problem I think. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Soumya

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your reply. I have gone through the link you have specified. Ya, that's the other way to resolve that issue in that case. But here we have asked the receiver system (SeeBeyond) to change the encoding part in their mapping. Because changing the coding part in SeeBeyond is less time consuming than adding a new Bean in JMS adapter. Our problem got resolved by changing the mapping in Receiver end. Thanks anyway for your valuable reply.
Thanks
Soumya

CS4, what are the most pressing issues and are they solved ???!!!

I'll be visiting the Adobe booth at the IBC on the 15-th to have a sneak preview of CS4.
To properly report back what I have seen, I need a short list of the most pressing issues and what interests you most to see solved or added. Just to name a few of the topics:
1. 64 bit or 32 bit?
2. Support for 64 bit OS and which ones?
3. Matte problems solved? (BTW, what were the exact issues with mattes in CS3?)
4. Titler improvements?
5. What (new) video formats are supported natively?
6. What significant improvements are made in integration in the Suite?
I'm not looking for a repeat of the wishlist, just the most important issues to have a look at.
Looking forward to your suggestions.

Here is the news as I got it from one of the technicians and beta testers at the IBC, who showed some interesting things on the current beta version.
1. The RTM version is not ready yet. It will definitely be this year, but it will not be out in September. Most likely is around November and not all promised features will be available in the 4.0 version, but will be supplied by downloadable patches.
2. Interlacing/de-interlacing has not been solved. It is still the archaic approach from the '70-s era.
3. Vista 64 is officially supported, XP 64 is not officially supported, but runs without problems. Several beta testers have not seen any problems with XP-64. All applications are still 32 bit applications, apart from PS Extended, which is 64 bit. Parts of the memory model are ported to 64 bit. The first steps to porting all applications to 64 bit have been taken, but do not expect full support before CS5.
4. The major improvement has been in the project structure. Every project now has its own information about drive, directory and file structure as part of the project. Files in the project can have different properties in terms of resolution, i or p, so effectively this makes for Edius like capabilities, allowing for different sources in a single project, XDCAM-EX, HDV, AVCHD, P2 sources can be mixed and edited on the same timeline. You can move i material to a p timeline and edit from there.
5. Adobe Media Encoder is now a separate application.
6. Dynamic Linking has been improved significantly and encompasses AE, PP, EN in all directions.
7. Batch processing has been added. You can now add timelines to a render cue and continue editing on the same timeline and there seems to be some intelligence behind it as well.
8. OMF has been vastly improved.
9. The garbage matte problems have been solved.
10. Ultra is still a stand-alone application.
11. Improvements have been made to Encore, whether that includes closing the DVD was not really known.
12. Edit in Audition has been restored.
13. AVCHD is supported, RED support will be added (possibly even for CS3). Note that even on a 4-core MAC the editing experience with AVCHD is tiresome and horrendously slow. You may succeed in editing that kind of material, but only with 8-cores. Otherwise it is like editing HDV on a P4 @ 2.8 GHz with a single disk. It can be done, but it is not a pleasure. The CPU requirements are enormous and IMO most will be heavily disappointed that they need to upgrade their PC before any serious editing can be done, despite all the warnings given.
14. The titler has not been improved, but the strange windows problems (resizing) have been solved.
15. Dependency on Red, MainConcept and others make the delivery dates unsure, but it will take some time and new patches are already being worked on.
16. Adobe at IBC has only beta versions.
17. One member here (I will not mention names) is probably the best beta tester Adobe has ever had and this person beats all other beta testers by a wide margin in finding bugs. Thanks for all your continued trouble, NN. You will know who I mean if you are the person in question. One of your colleague beta testers was in awe of you.
The stability and integration of the suite has been vastly improved and tons of bugs have been resolved, so from that point of view, upgrading to CS4 looks very worthwhile. Initially however, third parties have to resolve some issues with their software, like Sony with their Clip Browser, which contains a serious bug, causing PP to crash completely. These bugs need to be resolved shortly and hopefully will be addressed before the RTM version comes out.

Is Adobe aware of these issues and will there be any fixes?

Is Adobe aware of these issues and will there be any fixes?

What John said ... and additionally, though these are user-to-user forums, some of their staffers do pop in here (on their own time, we so appreciate it when they do!) and so between the bug/wish-form requests that John linked to, staffers do monitor what goes onto the boards here. And they do fix a ton of things on a constant basis. Every problem that every individual user has? No.
But with the incredibly complicated software they've created to give us the inter-operability betwixt an ingestion program (Prelude), an NLE (PrPro), a grading program (Speedgrade), an effects program (AeFx), an audio-effects program (Audition), and an out-put rendering program (AME) ... there are unfortunately times when bits & pieces of software between the OS, programs & plugins, video cards & drivers, and add-on or separate modification programs (such as Plural Eyes for instance) can conflict with each other. Some problems have been incredibly difficult for their staffers to duplicate ... and often, until they can duplicate a particular set of complex circumstances they can't see exactly what went wrong in that case ... and understand why it happens ONLY with that specific set of 500 possible variables and no others.
Some of the re-current problems on here are shared by quite a number of people ... and many of the problems only occur in very rare circumstances ... it takes precisely the right mix of loaded programs, footage, working steps, and hardware for that problem to exist. While that situation is of course incredibly annoying and oft infuriating to those few that have that problem ... by it's very nature, not many do have that problem. So you will hear of it on the boards here in far greater numbers than it occurs as a percentage of the user base.
And that btw is a given on a user complaint forum, which for most people is what this place is. Past some of us who use it for a learning "facility" not many jump on here unless they've got a problem or complaint. It most people are happy &/simply functioning, they don't post here.

Latency setting issues, and other problems.

Hello, this is my first time posting on a forum, and I wouldn't be here if I didn't think this was an interesting problem.
My computer (Hardware listings below) has a microphone lag issue. I tested it by plugging in my microphone and recording the recording through speakers, and it is very clearly lag. I am in need of a solution to that, but that is just where my problem starts. Whenever I try and load in an MPEG4 audio file, it seems to play and then all of my sound goes out on my system. Sometimes the sound goes out immediately after opening the program. The way I treat it is by putting my computer to sleep and waking it up, and the sound then returns until the program decides to randomly shut it down again. The mixing tables are reacting on screen, but there are no system sounds coming out at all. On top of that, when trying to fix my latency issues, it didn't help enough moving it down to 30 on the hardware options for the MME settings. It could be my computer is too slow or something, but I also tried switching it to asio. I have ASIO4all and I don't know if I should be running it, as I don't know too much about how my system would interact with all of these programs. I run Audition 5.5 fully legally, and I can update with whatever. I just want to be able to overdub without any lag, and everything I do to try and fix it makes a new problem happen. I am using a microphone plugged into the 3.5mm microphone slot on the motherboard. It's a Sure mic plugged in through an SLR to Quarter Inch male cable
SYSTEM:
Built
OS: Windows 7
Motherboard: EVGA P55 FTW 200 SLI
Processor: Intel I-5 760 quad core
RAM: 16 gigs Corsair XMS3
Video card: EVGA GTX 460 SE
Hard drive: W.D. Caviar Black 7200 RPM 1TB
Coolermaster storm scout case
Disc drive and Corsair power supply
If anybody knows any part in fixing or at least telling me why I have issues with all of the information I provided, I would love to hear it. I just want to record so badly after spending all of this money on the software and hardware and cables and etc...
Thank You

Currency conversion issue in SPM. We are getting incorrect results with SPM conversion function from one of the document currency to USD.

Currently we are using SPM 2.0 version and we have been facing currency conversion issues.
Please help me in following aspects.
1) Where actually currency conversion happens in SPM. Is it the global program which does the conversion or other way.
2) We have conversion issue for one of the currency where conversion function is giving incorrect results when converting from one of the document currency to USD. here The respective document currency is considering the 1:1 ratio with Dollar which is actually incorrect.
3) We have verified in both BI side(currency tables) and even ECC side.
Please help me in understanding this issue and let me know if you need more information on this.
Its an production issue and appreciated your immediate inputs.
Thanks
Kiran

Hi Arun,
The following information may be helpful to you.The SSA_HELPER_PROGRAM has options regarding currency settings.
EXCH_RATE_TYPE: This flag governs the exchange rate type which will be used for currency conversion in data management. For example if RSXAADMIN contains an entry EXCH_RATE_TYPE = „ZSPM‟ then the conversion type used for currency conversion is ZSPM. The default value for the exchange rate type is „M‟. More details can be found in the note 1278988.
CURRENCYCONVERSION: By default data management converts all the measures in transaction currency to reporting currency and copies over to the corresponding measure in reporting currency. If the measure in reporting currency is already available in source it might be desirable to disable the currency conversion. To disable the conversion you can make an entry CURRENCYCONVERSION = „ „ in the table RSXAADMIN. This can also be achieved by running the program SSA_HELPER_PROGRAM with the option DEACTIVATE_CURRENCYCONVERSION. The conversion can be reactivated by running the same program with option ACTIVATE_CURRENCYCONVERSION.
UNITCONVERSION: Similar to above. To deactivate unit conversion you can use the program with option and DEACTIVATE_UNITCONVERSION and to reactivate ACTIVATE_UNITCONVERSION. By default both the conversions are switched on
EXTERNAL_CURRENCIES: Normally most of the international currencies are stored with two decimal places however certain currencies do have 0 and 1 decimal place too. For example JPY has 0 decimal places. SAP internal format stores even these currencies with 2 decimal places and at the time of display it changes the value to right decimal places. In case a file from external source is loaded to SPM it might have the format with 0 decimal places in the file. To convert it to SAP standard format post processing needs to be done on this value. If that is the case you can set the flat EXTERNAL_CURRENCIES = „X‟ in the table which will enable the post processing for these values. This flag can also be set and reset using the helper program using the option TURNON_EXT_CURRENCY_FORMAT and TURNOFF_EXT_CURRENCY_FORMAT.

WRT1900ac: Defects, Issues and Other

This is follow up on the issues, I had with WRT1900ac, in case others stumble over them as well.
Setup:
+-----+----(R) Internet - via Cable-modem 30Mb/5Mb
|Fire |----(O) Internet Spur – to switch (here for completeness)
| wall|----(G) Protected wired network – to switch
|-----+----(B) Protected wireless network
+-----+----(I) Internet Port – connected to FW(G) via switch
|WRT |----(S) Switch 10/100/1000 ports – connected to FW(B)
| 1900|----(2) 2.4GHz wireless
+-----+----(5) 5.0Ghz wireless
+-----+
| RPi |----(R) Internet – '11n via WRT(2)
| FW |----(G) Protected wired network (Private) – to switch
+-----+
+-----+----(2) '11n – connected WRT(2) – Also default router
|Desk | \- Vnet0 for vmware Vms
| Top |----(E) Ethernet – connected to RPi(G) via switch
+-----+ \- Vnet2 for vmware VMs
Other wireless devices set to use WRT(2)
4 phones
3 tablets
3 media players
4 desktops/laptop/netbooks
DHCP Servers and the subnets they control:
FW(G) x.x.13.0/24
FW(B) x.x.23.0/24
RPi(G) x.x.0.0/24
Tests:
1) Disconnecting FW(B) from WRT(S) and WRT1900ac is DHCP server. All traffic is then passed through WRT(I) to FW(G) and finally to Internet. Gateway via DHCP is point to WRT(S,2,5)
2) FW(B) us connected to WRT(S) and WRT1900ac DHCP server is turned off. All traffic is then passed thought FW(B) and finally to Internet. Gateway via DHCP is pointing to FW(B)
Defects:
1) Cannot connect between wireless channels even though they are on the same subnet. A device connected to WRT(5) cannot ping nor connect to service on WRT(2). This prevents a device on WRT(5) form using a printer on WRT(2). Similarity, a media device on WRT(5) cannot access a media server on WRT(2).
WRT (S) (2) (5)
(S) OK OK OK
(2) OK OK __
(5) OK __ OK
Workaround is using two wireless routers. One handling 2.4 traffic and the other 5.0 traffic, internet connect routers together via a switch port.
2) Connectivity → Local network → Router Details is not editing IP address telling you are duplicating another address on the subnet. Instead it acts like it made the change you asked, then changes it to a random IP address in 10.0.0.0/24 network. If WRT1900ac is the DHCP server, then this change is not too bad, since it changes the DHCP Ips also to this new subnet and DNS server in the WRT1900ac hands out the correct new information. You are left thinking all is OK, but it is not what you set out to do.
If you are changing this IP and Turning off DHCP server same time (they are on the same panel), then the action will basically leave you with an unreachable WRT1900ac. It will forward traffic between wired and wireless, but you are unable to connect to it to make any changes. From a user veiw, the WRT1900ac “console” is gone. You have to do a hard factory reset to gain access again.
Work around be very careful.
Suggested solution would be for the WRT1900ac to valid the address the user has requested to change to. Like DHCP server validates the address there is with-in the subnet of WRT1900ac own IP.
Further since this function of checking and change IP is part of base system, if the IP is changed, then the DHCP server should be corrected and re-enabled as well. This would allow the user regain access to the WRT1900ac and correct the error with a full factory reset.
Lastly an error panel should display once the user signs into the WRT1900ac, telling what the router did to make it work again. Further assisting the user is making correct entries.
3) WRT1900ac (via looking at Network Map) incorrectly identifies if a device is connected via wired or wireless, leading to bad return routes.
In Test1, when WRT1900ac was controlling the DHCP. When a vm was started on the Desktop use Vnet0 that bridged network via WRT(2), the VM would get an IP and would show up on the Network Map. But the connection Icon shows up as wired and not via 2.4 wireless. After a few moments (less than min) all tested (one at time, Linux, BSD, and WindowsXP) lost the connection though Network Map showed them as if the MAC manufacturer ID (the first three hex pairs) were used to determine the route in WRT1900ac. When I switched the from Vnet0 to Vnet2 (private network with Rpi acting as the DHCP server and wireless bridge) all got connections and were able to work correctly (as expected).
In Test2, did not have an issue with this vm bridge function. Though Network Map does not display hosts. Yes, I turned on all View Device and Connection Types.
There was one strange thing did happen though, when WindowsXP was connecting, Network Map changed the Linux Desktop Host Name to WindowsXP name as all capitals. The WindowsXP host did still appear all lowercase with an icon wired. WindowsXP worked longer than the others, as if this “cross wiring” help WRT1900ac understand the route better.
4) When force to do factory reset, WRT1900ac does reset the hardware password to that on the router, instead assigns a random password. It does for default correctly for wireless WPA2. By not defaulting back to to the known hardware password, the user is forced to go through the simplified configuration including connecting WRT(I) to an Internet connection.
Issues:
1) Connectivity → Local Network once you click on this tab, you cannot click on any of the other tabs without getting “Save changes” panel. The choice there are Cancel, Yes and No. Only Cancel works. Then you have to Cancel from prior to page to actually get out.
2) Network Map failing to correctly identify devices. Showing devices with incorrect hostnames or descriptions. Examples:
a) Win8.1pro on wireless has an icon of printer.
b) Linux box with vm of WindowsXP and Plex Web Server loaded, is showing with the XP machine host name and Manufacturer of Plex
c) iPad showing up a general network device, where an iPhone shows up as phone. The both have the same release of iOS.
d) Windows phones and display as network with a host name of “Network Device”.
e) Epson wireless printers, only 1 out of 3 display with host name.
f) “Roku Streaming Player” is the same name of each Roku on the network, not the one that displays on iPhone or wireless or on the player itself.
Suggested solutions include:
a) Try using SMTP to get device information.
b) Looking up the device name via DNS then DHCP to show what other equipment calls it.
c) Showing the IP address for a host name instead of a nondescript “Network Device”
Other:
1) Only a single MAC address. WRT1900ac uses a single MAC address. This address is used for both internal [WRT(S,2,5)] and external [WRT(I)]. This maybe OK under connecting the WRT1900ac directly to Internet, but causes routing issues when both are connected to same internal hardware, since the ARP will have to routes to same “equipment”. This found when determining why WRT190ac was changing its IP address from assigned.
Workaround is to go to Connectivity → Internet Settings → MAC Address Clone and enable it and makeup a MAC address for WRT1900ac. I used added 1 to my WRT1900ac MAC.
2) Simplified setup does not allow setting 5.0GHz CCSID. It will copy 2.4GHz ot add _5GHz on to it, but not to name it, this thrid option would be a great help.
3) Connectivity → Local Network → DHCP Server setup allows for 3 DNS, bBut this list is not sent to cleints. Instead DHCP server sends the IP of WRT1900ac. This is by design, since Linksys wants the “linksyssmartwifi.com” to resolve to 192.168.1.1, or what you set as WRT1900ac to under Router Details on the same page.
It would be better if those fields where moved from DHCP Setup, to at less the otherside of the panel so the user does not assume that these DNS will be informed to clients.
4) External Storage not only allows access to mounted usb drive, but access to /sda including subdirectories of .tmp and cache, which in turn gives access to client.data, db.info, tsbyebye, twonky.log, twonymedia-config.html and twonkymeida-locations-6.db.
5) There is no effective method to block or tuen off the WRT1900ac from talking to Linksys Command and Control (for my router it was 50.18.198.232 port 5222), on the Internet except disconnecting WRT(I) wire. Even if blocked in the firewall, the WRT1900ac keeps pounding the firewall, to get access to the Internet, at rate up to 1Mbps.
Yes, this means I have disabled the ability of WRT1900ac from auto-updating, but I also blocked the risk of someone gaining access to my router via Linksys Command and Control. If you log-in via your email address and password, even if you “connected” directly in to the router (say 192.168.1.1), this traffic sent/validated though Linksys Command and Control (ie: a request leaves your router and sent over the Internet to Linksys CnC, then sent back). The iPhone app again, goes through Linksys CnC, and with it ALL setting on the router, including passwords, SSID, open ports and device list with IP. In the end, the router is not under your direct control or ownership, but that of Linksys and their ability to protect your information on their Amazon cloud server.
Miscellaneous:
1) The download EULA for the software update for this device is 117 pages long, with a two step acceptance. The warranty is 135 pages long.
2) Calling Linksys Support Line custom for WRT1900ac, and after working with the person of almost 1.5hrs, found out the person had no clue what an IP was or how to configure normal static IP. When requesting the next level for support, “They will call you back in 24 to 72 hours.” After hanging up and starting again, found the next person equally unable to answer simple direct questions, asked for a manager. She suggested that this call was really about Quality, then said “they will call you back in 2 to 5 days, after receiving the a support ticket.”
In closing:
Support for WRT1900ac is either massively back-logged with problems or so understaffed that there is no hope to get anything really fixed. OpenWRT, at my last view, is still in testing phase and Linksys will not warrant any damage or problems that arise out it use. So my only real option is return this equipment, since there is no likely fix any of the issues above. Long term Linksys needs to work on its quality controls, and stop burning up goodwill that brand name had carried.

See if wireless isolation is enabled.
