I don't know about the TR-311. The cable coming out of the 2015 (which is apparently discontinued??) uses the following wiring sequence: Orange OrangeWhite Green GreenWhite Blue BlueWhite Brown BrownWhite That may not be right order, but it sure as heck ain't T568b! Tranzeo does have a .pdf on their site with the proper wiring sequence. (I still think they should have a bright yellow slip of paper in the box that warns about it ..or better still, change the wiring). The point being... when you're at a customer's house and you want to drill a tiny 3/8" hole instead of a 1/2" hole, you need to cut off the provided plug, thread the provided CAT5 through the hole and then reterminate ...using the above sequence insted of the T568b standard. This is an accident waiting to happen, IMHO. Personally, I see no reason to use a non-standard wiring sequence. But once you know, the issue is (largely) behind you. It's just one more training issue to keep up with for everyone that you train. (on the other hand, think of how this would be a non-issue if the T568B standard was used) And I need to say a bit more about Tranzeo... Apparently someone on this list ..uh.. forwarded my comments to their support staff and a couple of their guys contacted me to clear up any issues I might have. I thought that was commendable! They do have SNMP support for their radios so it turns out I can poll them with MRTG. I haven't tried it yet. With the proper firmware, it does read signal strengh (in *true* dB .something sB does *not* do). I still can't figure out how to get it to do a sitesurvey and show me all the APs it sees, but that's a minor point. .I think. Just to repeat, I'll be buying from them in the future.
