I'd say stay away from POE unless you plan to run Ubiquiti software on it. =20 --=20 Alexander Kabaev --Sig_/Q3E_4ZdLKK85u4j9s=TJigh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: Цифровая подпись OpenPGP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEExffZlZm2QeE8UVaRBxMimZJ5Ln4FAlhEVrxfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldEM1 RjdEOTk1OTlCNjQxRTEzQzUxNTY5MTA3MTMyMjk5OTI3OTJFN0UACgkQBxMimZJ5 Ln7yhxAAidIqEwjZMUvXBoZM5YEqSFeuyBnxdaImEfyLimKGczqUrjkB5jBnCHeT y7S4yiD5OPrBdi43ozQuUQorMMXWIzEe1AUgva9A5ldcAr1IbImANhO5d9SHNxs8 WqvUE1H5WS24MBgSpauI9duffJK+jgO7jRNErQWpWn2C3yxPePTuATeMOD60L2DX BUpLTNBTCAYxHZ7q/rLeQREV7yttwRrhm003Rs8CYSmzzNPxIA4JEvzaPjXcj6iv L8cVSFiSM/EXEa0fMAnt8+PApIBmVE/9K3lo+TvD1GrxxIzJxPZLhFLYZGqMgVSn NN5qckTwPlbpuqir55uh3bO15L0nnlQ/aBckXt7Hd+hErlPhNr/W43aK12OI0WME NLNBsvcI6d9SWD/J1aM+jHoqGEFuPm5SCAZjmvwQQaDihC4zWcWgUFeaDta4kYJ6 wsS2nNFsaPO2L1kqIyatFBphGA+GOBa1ZM/+VEmdaZTKR4NETU3Q+QsKGceviRpu 9aCnIJqZyNNPKnjR8ZcSrEz8Mb033K/OUWikLekUdr+6X0k0rIEmrKVn2YnVEe9x 6xqBtNuLx+Uobc9PvbkrdQZ3Mo3l+F9SbA8F/DtQPpHdBHBl5Bo9O+QP4EWjOJ1H SgVAbuHzKXiafsq75/XH8KYhCzevyQ0bpQ6K5Go4HPhEsWZKdhE= =3z6T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/Q3E_4ZdLKK85u4j9s=TJigh--
