If you fool proof something, all you're doing is making a better fool.

Absotutely. I actually had a subscriber argue with me about the "correct"
connection required for a Tycon POE (which I consider fairly straightforward
and easy to understand). Yet he insisted that it be connected the opposite way.
Where upon, I had to reverse the connection, show him that it worked. Only
then was he satisfied that it was "correct", but poorly labeled.
At that point, I covered up the Tycon labeling, and pasted on labeling that
satisfied him. Now everybody is happy.
Never underestimate the ability of a non-technical person to misunderstand
labels and/or instructions.

Are you serious? There was a bright red sticker on Pac/Tycon POEs and
people still screwed it up.

Sean, what is the major complaint? Is it that the installer or customer
gets confused which port goes where? You could put stickers on things to avoid
that.

Ray can you please come and hang out with one of my clients for a day and
hand them each POE and see which one they can hook up and which one they can't??
Just because you have made this decision doesn't mean it's a good
decision and we are asking cambium to reconsider. The new POE sucks! Period!

Thanks for the link josh. They normally cost ~$10 so the eBay price of
$24 is someone trying to make a buck on them before they are gone. Also
eventually eBay will run out too so that's not a long term solution.
Come on cambium listen to your long time loyal customers!

Dear Cambium,
Why won't you let us buy the ACPSSW-13B POE if we still want to?
It's very frustrating that we now have to change our install procedures
AND our tech support procedures. The new POE is also very cumbersome and prone
to clients plugging things in backwards etc.
Can you either keep selling them or give us access to the manufacturer so
that we can still buy them?
