Logitech makes Power line Ethernet modules that support PoE for their security camera products. The cameras are made to be installed outdoors and the modules have weather-resistant connectors on them. I use one for wireless and it works pretty well.

The thought crossed my mind today that that might be a possibility. The remote AP can be powered by a light pole and electrical service to that light comes from a breaker inside one of our buildings. If the uplink came from the same place the power does, that would make the installation a lot simpler I think. Now that I've had the idea, I wonder...is this a good idea or a bad idea? -- Adam Forsyth Director of Network and Systems Luther College Library and Information Services 700 College Drive Decorah, IA 52101 563-387-1402 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
