I thought everyone stopped using those years ago. I didn't even realize that they still made them. They aren't grounded and provide no path to ground for the radio. I just make sure that I explain to each customer that the 'POE' side provides power to the radio, and anything else that you

In a presentation earlier this year they had 5 versions of the C3 devices. One was a C3-201W which included PoE, 2.4 GHz WiFi, 5 GHz WiFi, and *no* VoIP. MSRP was listed as $110. -Chris On Fri, Jun 5, 2015 at 12:43 PM, Matt matt.mailingli...@gmail.com wrote: Mark, I guess you could look at

Describe it as the wire that doesn't have a connector, the one that's permanently attached. Maybe it's just that people will be dumb no matter what PoE we give them. On 6/5/2015 12:22 PM, Nate Burke wrote: Find the thin wire coming off the 1” block and follow that to the power supply.

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

IMHO, that's a good thing. You want any path to ground to be outside the house. bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On 6/5/2015 7:41 AM, Jeremy wrote: I thought everyone stopped using those years ago. I didn't even realize that they still made them. They aren't grounded and provide no path to

The one that really ticked me off was a POE injector where the ports are labeled something like Data in and Data + Power out. The 320 POE was like that. The use of the words in and out when data is clearly (to me) bidirectional makes no sense. For the Joe Schmoe's comparing it to something

First I've heard of it. I guess I have mixed feelings. The Canopy POE is simple, and it's super easy to tell if it's plugged in properly. The other types (like Tycon) are hard for some people to grock. Even when I show it to them and explain which connector goes where, I've had customers

I always liked the original PoE and rarely used anything else. 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

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

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

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. -Original Message- From: Mark Radabaugh Sent: Friday, June 05, 2015 9:37 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG]
