Got my one DC switch to test and monkey with, didn't get a chance to test, rolled it out on faith and am very pleased. I am going to be waiting weeks for grid power at a site and needed to get more gear going there. It had been just running two nanobeams back to back on solar, I was a little nervous to add a larger load radio wise along with a switch but it is truly lightweight on its 'self consumption' , when you throw in the apparently accurate voltage monitoring its a wonderful thing. I can now work on bringing up the replacement airfiberX link from the comfort of my office and be able to switch radios on/off while I optimize my frequency use etc.

The one glitch I seem to have encountered is that on my DC switch if I disable the port it also powers down, on the AC switch at the other end disable the port leaves the radio powered. Its not a huge issue but takes a little working around while getting remote gear dialed in, on a production backhaul no less.

This switch is destined for a different site where I will be able to use more of its advanced features, I know I will be needing more of these.

I think your the second person to report this, will look into this!

Thanks for the feedback

Correct, I reported this. =) Great switches though huh? Testing one of my 8 ports in the office and it's been working fine so far! The 12 volt I have up on the hill has been working great since I got it also!

Sometimes* disabling the port on an AC switch will result it in also powering it down. I've noticed this before while doing the same thing. Unfortunately I've never been able to reliably reproduce it on an AC switch.

This only occurs when you have POE Smart enabled on the port. We have fixed this in the next release coming out soon.
