Just a short notification that outages might occur during or after loadshedding due to non access to certain networks or servers. The ZS Link Network in Mossel Bay is fully equipped to handle loadshedding day or night. The problem arise that connections to other networks and servers might be down. This is beyond the control of the administrator of the SCP ZS-Link Network.
Currently the DMR Bridge in Mossel Bay is affected and I have disconnected it from the HUB Network. Once the service is restored I will reconnect the DMR Bridge. Other Internet network services are currently up and running.
Now here is another aspect to take note of. The VOIP side of the SCP ZS-Link Network is left running 24/7. I recently noticed that for some reason or other obscure midnight activity causes problems iro the BrandMeister Service. I am currently working through the various logs to see what is happening throughout the night when I do not monitor the VOIP network.
I have decided to implement the following measure:
The complete ZS1I HUB Network and other Services like the DMR Bridge will be available every day from 05h00 to 21h00 hours until further notice. This will allow me to monitor the system full-time for any problems and possible interruptions.
In the meantime I will work through the logs to find out more. I really hope that the logs will reflect that it is normal network outages instead of malicious intent that result in the issues.
