This is fixed in the rackinjector,  and will continue through the product
line as we refresh it over the next year or so.   The limitation today has
to do with this data being stored in the expansion units themselves and
there is a total of 1024 bytes of eeprom for all descriptions and power on
values which doesn't go that far.

Can I vote for longer names or descriptions on things?
The character limit drives me nuts.

E.G.: I want to label a relay as "Relay1: Triggers external power relay for
West Base Station".  Right now it's more like, "Rel1 W BS".

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] [WISPA Members] 450m power

I have a preference for a switch that works.

My challenge has always been to find a chipset I trust which is fairly easy
to integrate, is obtainable, and is available in industrial temperature
range.   Over the years I've looked at numerous chipsets and have never
found any that I would feel comfortable to provide to my customers.

The industrial temperature range issue was probably the biggest one since
the vast majority of chipsets are only available in commercial range and I
refuse to ship a product which contains chipset only rated down to freezing
(there's a reason why we've never had any temperature related failures that
we can recall).   Of the remaining chipsets, many of the manufacturers only
sell to large-volume consumers.  They have no interest in doing business
with an organization which doesn't do a million units of a product.

Well the never part was true until recently.   A trusted vendor of mine
recently released a switch chipset with 5 Gigabit copper ports, 1 GBIC
port, and 1 management port, and which seems to be able to be integrated
well.   I need to spend some time with the eval board which is sitting
here, but other things have taken priority.

Over the last couple of months, we've pretty much finished all of the
pending projects, and so I'm working on figuring out which of the partially
started projects around here I need to pick up and run with.   There are
some which are minimal work which will likely get done soon (i.e. producing
medusa-compatible cambium sync products in various other form factors, and
finishing a couple of i/o board which are basically done).

Of the rest, part of what I'm going to be listening to at WISPAMERICA is
what people are needing.  I really don't want to build things people don't
want, so I'm going to be listening as to what people are looking for.
 I've got lots of ideas, just not sure how many of them are really of
interest.
