Do you have any pictures of it installed? I'm curious how you mount that in the rack or equipment box. On 6/28/2021 4:39 PM, Ryan McAfee wrote: Depending on mounting, I really like the BlueSea marine fuse blocks.

We run v2 for our WISP and v1 still for our fiber. Generally speaking the UI in v2 is harder to navigate and less user friendly by far. Functionally V2 in some ways trumps v1 in but not enough that we are migrating our v1 over yet. Their future is in v2 so I understand that they do not want

You already pointed out the major plus to A/C power: It's simple. Any joker can come along and plug something in. Almost every device has a 110VAC option. UPS's are looking cheaper because you're getting used/refurb. You'll come out more comparable with a new DC system compared to a new UPS

I don't trust UPSs for critical backup. I don't trust normal gel cells. On the cheap, solar charge controllers make great rectifiers. They treat the batts well and maximize your charge after a power outage. They are not as costly as a carrier grade rectifier. You can literally power them

We've been using the APC SmartUPS 750XL as a Tower UPS for several years. Put 2-8 100+AH AGM Batteries on them, and they've been rock solid for us. I can think of only a handful of failures in the dozens deployed over the last several years. I used to source them off ebay for $50-$70 each,

Sonar's implementation of the Avalara integration in v1 is junk and does not produce appropriate taxation. Avalara has said it's imperative that Sonar fix it. Sonar's response is to just move me to v2, to a feature they said wouldn't be ready for 5 - 6 weeks. I figure add at least 6 months

Hey Mike, Absolutely do not switch to Sonar v2 until they force you to. It has a lot of issues still and is a product that is in my opinion in a beta state still. It does not have complete parity with v1. Ryan Houin Operations Manager Fourway.net -Original Message- From: AF On Behalf
