Re:
WISP Switch The MovieGreat video
:)( a little over a month ago ... ) , I watched the video/movie twice prior to ordering qty four Netonix WS-26-400-IDC ( +48 volts DC -or- -48 volts DC ).
( yesterday ) , I received my Netonix switches ( OOoo happy me )
( today ) , I got my first Netonix up and talking ( thanks to the video/movie )
The only difficulty I had was getting the Management on a different Vlan. After many hours , I discovered the Netonix was working correctly however I fat-fingered the trunk ports on my Mikrotik trunk ports to the Netonix. Now the Netonix is up and talking in my test LAB network.
Tomorrow, we will be installing a second Netonix at one of my towers ( 10-Gig fiber to the tower, lots of fiber GPON customers and lots of Mikrotik APs and some WDS microwave uplinks to another tower. This location does not have a generator ( which sucks ), but it has a neg-48-volt DC system with positive-ground ). The battery system that should last about two weeks. What makes me happy is that I no longer need a generator if/when the power goes out for a few days. The Netonix WS-26-400-DC switch can keep my 10-Gig fiber links talking and also keep all of my Mikrotik AP up and talking.
I really like what I am seeing this Netonix switch can do !
The Netonix appears to be a good solid product :)

EDIT March 10'th 2021
I wanted to clarify something in my post re 10-Gig.
The Netonix WS-26-400-IDC has two sfp ports ( not sfp+ 10-gig ports ).
So , here is how I am going to get a 10-Gig fiber link to my fiber-connected towers:
I have a 10-port Mikrotik with a sfp+ ( 10-Gig port ). This Mikrotik can be powered by POE into the Mikrotik and/or the barrel DC connector.
The Netonik will have a 1-Gig POE port to the Mikrotik.
The Mikrotik can then use multiple 1-Gig ethernets to the Netonix ( LAGG or Vlan-shareing ).
So , yes , I will have multiple greater than 1-Gig fiber links to my fiber-connected towers.
