[AFMUG] Trango Apex Lynx/Orion feature request

[Adam Moffett]

I submitted the feature request below to Telrad's online ticketing 
system earlier today, and they replied that they'll pass the request to 
engineering.  If you use either the Apex Lynx or Apex Orion and if you 
agree with what I'm saying below then please add your voice to mine and 
ask for this feature.

Feature Request: I think each interface on the Apex Lynx should have a 
local management IP address. One on the SFP port, one on the CAT5 port, 
and one on the RF interface. As an example, many units from Cambium have 
an address of 169.254.1.1 which is always accessible when directly 
attached to the ethernet port.

I think right now if I was to configure a unit for OOB management via 
GE1, then if GE1 was damaged I would permanently lose access to the 
device. If I configure for in band management via fiber, then I could 
(due to misconfiguration or malfunction) lose access to the device and 
require a climber to go up and press the reset button to restore access. 
Feel free to correct me if I have a misconception here, otherwise please 
consider adding permanent local IP's.
