And here I am thinking all this time that I was the only one who would appreciate a device like this! I spoke with someone at Streakwave a few months ago about this and basically got a blank stare response. He had no idea why I would want such a thing..<sigh>
So, to any manufacturers up to the task, here is (IMO) a starting point of a bullet point list for the PoE device I'm envisioning: (1) Multi-port models. (e.g. 6, 12 & 24 ports) (2) SNMP & Web Interface Management with ACL firewall. (3) Redundant power supplies with separate power cords. (e.g. UPS "Blue" & UPS "Red") (4) Dip switch DC polarity selectable per port. (e.g. Trango/Canopy vs. UBNT, etc.) (5) Dip switch 12VDC, 24VDC, 48VDC passive and standard 802.3af selectable per port. (6) 1U shallow depth form factor. (7) Auto-Ping per port. (8) LED Status indicators per port. (9) Optional DC power source model for solar sites? (10) Optional Trango Apex/Orion GigE model? What else would be beneficial in the design of this PoE controller?

I want to be able to put these onto router ports as well as switch ports. I just want a rackmount multiport passive PoE controller, manageable per port with autoping and redundant power supplies. Is that so much to ask for??? ;) On 2/25/2011 9:42 PM, Brad Belton wrote: Once they add remote management, redundant power supplies and a "Auto-Ping" feature they'll have a winner.

Worked flawlessly.
