Hello Gloria, http://www.dataprobe.com/power/iboot.html They work like champs. Also you should have a cat 5 run to the ground for access at the site to the equipment in the box.

We have had to climb the water tower and reset it three times in the last week. We replaced the POE on Wednesday GV> and it went down again Thursday. I ordered a new unit overnighted and replaced the unit last night. It worked great all day today, but is down again now.

What else is there? The POE was GV> replaced, the entire unit was replaced, and we still have the same exact problem. When it does this, the Ethernet LED is off, the Power and TXRX LED is on solid, and we have no communication GV> with it. Did I get so lucky as to get two bad units with the same exact problem? The only item that has not been replaced is the power supply - could that be bad? All the other units on the GV> water tower are working fine since I upgraded the firmware last Sunday. They are all plugged into the same switch, which is plugged into a UPS and all of it is in an air conditioned NEMA box. GV> smartBridges tech - or anyone - help! GV> Thanks!
