Well, let me get the porice right (I quoted from memory really poorly).. Its $375 for a single outlet device, pager service is $9 per month. As far as auto-re-boot. I personally don't like systems auto hard booting. No that with AirBridge units, this may be prefered and necessary ;). But I hate auto cycling Trango's and Cisco units. They are too solid to go down without some reason being there and I prefer some fact finding before that solution is used.
But to each his own.. (We do page our tech's though with a ping at the device at the NOC.. do it for any time a device has a packet loss increase for more than 15 minutes...
