The latest version 3.X introduces details of a hub/gateway which could be implemented with brick/gateway and provide some very rich functionality...

  • Ethernet Switch Power Consumption

    A trawl through various datasheets showed that the FS726T would be a good candidate for providing 24 port of Ethernet for a reasonable power budget. It is quoted at 13W consumption. Results: No-connection load was measured at 8W. 8 WebBricks connected 8W 10 connections + broadcast storm 10W (The storm was to give the switch some work to do) Conclusion...
