    Thanks, that looks like an ideal solution for the hill.

    That would be about perfect. Given the PoE aspect I can understand why they don't quote a maximum power consumption, but I'd love to know its efficiency. Given it appears to be able to step up voltage from 9V to 48V and also step down from 60V to 24V, some efficiency graphs would be useful to...

    [Edit: I meant also to say that "confusing" technical decisions with engineering decisions is not the same as "balancing" them. Allowing either to be made in isolation is almost always a recipe for disaster.] No indeed. It's just that I can't honestly see any significant benefit for what would...

    Bonding the two connections would give higher single-user WAN speeds, but would also require more management because local quota's would have to be set on the VLANs to prevent one farm burning through both ISP data quotas. Such local quota's would need to be updated if the ISP deal was changed...

    Whilst there needs to be a degree of security, keeping the traffic separate is really only a financial issue - the two farms may have ISP packages with different speeds or quota's etc. The 3 VLAN setup you describe is exactly what I had in mind, and for exactly the reasons you mentioned. At...

    That drawing is correct, assuming that the town to hill link is a single shared point to point (I'm guessing you understand that and have drawn both yellow and purple "logical", rather than physical, links). It was my thought that the only benefit of using VLANs would be to remove traffic from...

    I wasn't sure whether to post this in wireless or "other", but I figured that the fact that it is a wireless link makes no real difference, so..... It's a few years since I retired from IT, and whilst I do an occasional project for fun I'd like an up to date opinion on this one! I live on a...
