Is this stuff not yet ready for prime time?
I want to order the Zyxel G-470 client device.
I'd like to be able to utilize the POE feature.
The device is POE standard 802.3af ready.
This is not for not for a multi-unit WISP installation.
I belive the following two products are tailored for just such an installation.
http://microcom.us/psa16u480poer.html
http://microcom.us/poe48v19wi.html
One is an 802.3af supply/injector
..the other is a "non 802.3af passive injector"
Microcom does not offer any tech support at all so they could offer no explanation. Will either of these work? What is the difference?
I've been to many internet pages of explanation regarding the 802.3af standard and there seems to be no simple instructions for the home user.
Xyxel sent me an email full of jargon about "midspan endspan mode-a mode-b legacy compatibility, power switching, etc" without ever getting to the point about which of these two units would work with the G-470. Zyxel offers no instructions at all, on their site or in the downloadable operators manuals for their products, on utilizing the POE capability of their products.
Is this a case of "if you have to ask you probably sholdn't know"? Rather like particle physics?
This is a little frustrating.
