It remembers you for a while.
I have a better idea. So, my support login gets me into the community
site as well. Why can't my support login also get me all the spec sheets
I want? :)

Also, Ken (and others), to save you the extremely arduous and
devilishly painful effort of filling out a form *gasp!* to get it...
here's the spec sheet.

Ken -
There's some discussion and info on the C3VoIP-200 here:
http://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/WISP-Business/C3VoIP-Gateways-Models/td-p/39723/page/2
There will be a webinar on it on Tuesday, June 9th, also, so you can
ask questions live: http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/company/webinars

Model just released has 802.11b/g/n with 2 external antennas, but yes
includes VoIP.
I don't see a user guide on the Cambium website. I may have to order
one and play with it. We currently use Cisco ATAs in bridge mode
ahead of the customer router and give them a private IP completely
separate from the router. I'm not clear on whether this device will
work in a similar manner.
Also our managed CPE routers are all Mikrotik and remotely managed
via Winbox, I assume this is probably OpenWRT based, we have had
nothing but bad experiences with every brand of home routers and I
would approach any new device with skepticism. You often don’t know
you've deployed a bunch of crap routers for a year or more when they
start failing.
That said, consolidating the POE, router and ATA functions in one box
would simplify the rats nest of wires. And the industry is moving
toward ISPs providing a WiFi router, DSL and cable is pretty much all
that way.
If everything else was good, and the price was right, I guess I
wouldn't sweat every customer having a phone jack on their "modem"
even if 95% didn't use it. Could save a future truck roll. Assuming
remote management.
Depends on how much cost it adds.

Mark, I guess you could look at the C3VOIP200 since it includes
Canopy/ePMP compatible POE on the WAN port.
I so wish they made a version of it with WIFI and without VOIP.
"Find the thin wire coming off the 1” block and follow that to the
power supply."
9/10 times, the customer will argue with me that it doesn't run to
anything because they can't find it in their mess of wires. Or that
it runs to their router (because the Router power cord looks the same
size)

Interesting. I always found it pretty easy to troubleshoot.
On the back of the router find the 3” long flat black cable that goes
into
a 1” square black box. Is it plugged into the WAN port on the
router?
Oh -
you plugged that flat black cord into the wall jack? Swap the ends
- the
flat black cord goes in the router. Find the cord plugged into
the 1”
box
and follow that to the wall jack. Is it plugged in securely at both
ends?
Find the thin wire coming off the 1” block and follow that to the
power
supply. Is it plugged in and the green light on? No? Plug it
in. If
the
green light is on unplug the power supply and tell me if the light
goes out
right away. It fades away slowly? Then there is a break in the wire
between the power supply and the equipment outside? Oh - your
husband wacked that wire with his hedge trimmer? Yeah - that might
possibly be the problem.

We've been using the Tycon's for quite a while as well. We found it
next to impossible to trouble shoot the Cambium power supply with a
customer.
They could never comprehend what it was, and always tried to plug in
a PC to the POE Jumper. The Tycon's are nice, because you can
describe the white box, with 2 plugs on one side (AC and LAN), and
one plug on the other (poe).
Is there a yellow or green light, The Cable from outside plugs into
the end with only 1 plug.

I never used it anyway, prefer Tycon POE-24iR-CI. And yes, a patch
cord, but those come in various lengths and colors rather than the
short little stub which is limiting.

So is anyone else unhappy with Cambium’s decision to EOL the
traditional power supply?
The replacement part is a Ubiquiti or ePMP brick style. It costs
more,
does not include the power cord, and requires an additional CAT5
jumper cable.
While the current supply has it’s issues (hard to plug into a power
strip) it’s simple to troubleshoot over the phone with a customer
with
limited ways to screw it up. I think this is going to create more
‘miswire’ service calls.
