Now that we can FINALLY get back on the WS3-XXE line

[sirhc]

What's cool is the NEW WS3-14E-600-AC/DC unit has all new ISOLATED board power supplies, AOCP (active over current protection) which does not care if current is AC or DC so ground current can trip the MOSFETs saving the switch. Another NEW feature being added is a ground current sensor. It will tell you how much AC ground current is traversing your switch and trust me even with the best grounding it is there. This way people will know if their grounding SUCKS and you can monitor it via SNMP and watch how it climbs during rain events which tells you your ground rods need work. The NEW WS3-14E-600 / WS3-16E-600 / WS3-5E will survive 10X better than WS units.

The WS3-16E has (4) 10G SFP and (3) programable 48V power ports to power (3) WS3-5E (kind of like the WS-6 but meant to feed with fiber/copper cable) . Of course all WS3-XXE have 2.5G copper ports.

And here some of the kicker features to be added within the 6months to a year:
Static Routing
OSPF Routing
BGP Routing (but not big enough for world routes)
4096 Bandwidth rules based on port/MAC/ingress or egress/port or port range/time/priority customers/ and the list goes on here, really cool

There are more features but these are the big ones.

This would allow a WS3 to be your router and switch at a tower all with a SIMPLE easy interface like the WS.

Another neat thing is the firmware for the WS3-current and WS3-XXE is the same so people with WS3 units will get all the same features just limited to 1G copper ports.

Sad part is this hacker crap delayed this 3+ months as we were supposed to have sold pre-release in October.

NOTE: Pre-release will not have the routing features just the same features in the current WS3 but routing should follow within a couple months, A LOT OF TESTING WILL NEED TO BE DONE. But we know it all works because we can run the chip makers sample code on it which has all the features in it but the layout/UI sucks and it can not control our stuff like sensors, MOSFETS, or any features we added.

NOTE: I AM RUNNING RANDOME SALES ON WS LINE AS WE HAVE 5 MILLION DOLLARS OF PRODUCT THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEARED OUT TO FINANCE THE WS3-XXE LINE SO CHECK RANDOMLY FOR GOOD DEALS.

Being pushed out 3 months, can we expect any early release hardware soon? Would like to grab a could DC 16Es and help test

First release will be WS3-14E-600-AC AND DC

(2) SFP+
(12) 2.5G copper
Door sensor
External Temp humidity sensor
External relay to switch on AC or DC devices like fans

GROUND CURRENT SENSOR which will report how much AC ground current is passing through switch Hopefully people will use this data to improve grounding.

Will also use nan flash so boot time will be like 10 to 20 seconds verses older slow flash in current models talking minutes to boot up.

Also implementing isolated on board power supplies to drive SOC and such.

Isolated currented sensors

Should be a tank like SAF radios.

Pre release WITHOUT routing in about 3 to 4 months which is how far we were set back due to hack and rewrite of firmware.

Stephen is gladly back on WS3 code
