Yes. > If so, why no PoE? We weren't looking to take on extra complexity when designing the SR2, it wasn't clear that PoE was going to be successful, PoE can't provide sufficient power for a loaded-up USB, and it's a given that there's always a power source close by because you need it to supply the display monitor. > If the answers above are "yet" and "for no good reason", are there any plans > to > change this on a future revision? If enough customers ask for PoE then it might be doable in future generations of the SR2 and 2FS. Not the 270, its LCD panel needs more power than PoE can supply. And of course if you need to drive power-hungry USB devices (or, I suppose, hungry power-over-RS-232 devices) you'll still have to power the Sun Ray locally or provide powered USB hubs. Since you have to have power for the monitor anyway, what's the big attraction of PoE for your deployments? OttoM. __ ottomeister Disclaimer: These are my opinions.
