Hey Cameron,
Yah, I remember this topic coming up before, but the failures we've
had (that come quickly to mind) are no access to the unit at all.
Does the battery issue prevent the unit from working even when power
is restored?

Brad,
A tip on the Loggers 8 port...there is a rechargeable battery inside
that doesn't seem to last more than a year. Once it dies, you lose
your config and if the device ever looses power, everything comes back
in either all off state or all on state. I tossed one logger and then
when it happened to a second, I decided to tinker. I got a replacement
battery at batteries plus and it started working correctly again,
saving my config after a power outage. I'm not sure what can be done
about it except to put them on a maintenance schedule. Of course this
was on the older devices....maybe they've gone to flash memory now?

We've had more failures than successes with the Digital Loggers eight
port rack mount rebooter. Granted they are the least expensive
rebooter on the market at less than $300, but I would expect a better
failure rate than what we've seen out of them the past several years.
I noticed on Digital Loggers site that they have a newer version
available. Maybe this version is more reliable? I've also read that
the DIN mount style rebooter is more reliable than the 2U rack mount
style. Maybe Kevin could somehow integrate the DIN unit into his PoE
controller to save costs and development.
While I think adding a couple AC ports to this device would be
neat....let's not divert from the intent of this product from being a
PoE controller.
I wonder why UBNT doesn't design a PoE controller that would fit the
need? Seems like a natural fit product that they could also manage
via their AirControl System management software.
Best,
Brad

Kevin,
On cost: With your model, we're still going to need to buy a device
like a Digital Loggers remote AC reboot device because we will need to
reboot a router or switch.
If it can have a couple of AC ports to power a Mikrotik router
(x86-based) and a switch, we don't have to ALSO buy another remote
boot device ($350 value).
Since we can get the remote booting with the digital logger box, then
all your box has done is clean up our PoE's, and I wouldn't pay nearly
that much.

So... we're most of the way through a mid-span design similar to what
people are outlining here. Right now it's only non-standard POE,
though. No 802.3. Again, we were only going to build three, for our
own use. If we sold something that was:
Remote on/off per port
Auto-ping reboot per port
Dual-power supply, with notification on fail
DC powered, either 12, 24, or 48v
The one we are working on is 24v output only
1u rackmount or small form factor wall mountable
SNMP for reboot, voltage monitoring, input monitoring
We figured if it's a DC device, we can plug it into 110v easily with a
transformer.
If it was $450, would anyone buy them? Actually, what I really need to
know is, would we be able to get rid of 90 of them? We'd have to make
a batch of 100, and we could use 10. We'd get them back from the PCB
manufacturer mid-May.

I may be off here from the majority, but I don't want a switch. I
want to be able to put these onto router ports as well as switch
ports.
I just want a rackmount multiport passive PoE controller,
manageable per port with autoping and redundant power supplies.
Is that so much to ask for??? ;)

Once they add remote management, redundant power supplies and a

Just put in a 12 port 24V version of this for a UniFi WLAN. Worked
flawlessly.
Powered the UBNT PB5 on one of the ports too.

Anyone have a good vendor for a rackmount poe switch for ubnt
