The 3610 can be mounted at the top of the mast if you wish, with a POE ethernet down feed. Hmmm. I missed this. How does this work? I've a Mac laptop that I'd like to use for light work: mail & such. The EOC-3610S-EXT is a long range WiFi bridge with an ethernet interface. It supports Power-Over-Ethernet (POE), so it can be mounted remotely with no wiring other than the ethernet cable. Configuration is done via your laptop web browser. No driver software is required. So, I could set it for "bridge" operation, toss it on the deck with the antenna high to extend my range to -- how far? I seem to be getting about a half mile, line of sight, at the marina with the internal antenna. You need 110 volt power for the POE injector which can be obtained from a small inverter, also useful for powering the laptop. What's this POE injector? Sounds like a separate unit. -- Jere Lull Xan-à-Deux -- Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI trips & tips: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
