Trying to select a switch for the Stores.
Find one then change my mind, look for something else and think "do I really need this advanced"??Requirements are:-
Web Managed
24port
Non-PoE and PoE Version
Layer 3 lite/Layer2+ is a bonus (so I can do some simple routing)Keep going from
Ubiquiti 24 Lite (£160 ish)
HP Office Connect 1920 (£120 ish)
Netgear GS724Tv4 (£106 ish)Then PoE version
Ubiquiti 24 (£390)
HP Office Connect 1920 PoE (£253)
Netgear GS724TPv2 PoE (£205)But then Netgear have the prosafe range
guess I just need to pick one and stick to it

And these things have been powered off 9 months

@hobbit666 You want something in this line up.
-
@EddieJennings but wait I needed to use it yesterday and never got to ask you why I couldn't get to it.
-
@DustinB3403 but they cost £320+ why them over the Netgear Prosafe or GS724 range? or the HP ones
what makes the Ubiquiti ones £100 more worth it -

what makes the Ubiquiti ones £100 more worth itBecause Netgear is a joke and HP's aren't much better than the Netgear equipment. I can't help you with the cost, it is the better option.

@DustinB3403 actually Netgear makes some seriously good stuff. Its our main go to for switching. A big networking lab in NYC has to use it because it outperforms nearly everything.

I've been very happy with the HP switches I've had here for the past 10 years. I replaced them with UBNT mostly because they were cheaper than the HPs I was looking at at the time.

I'm another one in the not afraid to use HP camp. I do want to try out a UBNT switch though.

Ubiquiti is not just web managed, but can be connected to UNMS. That's a huge deal. And it is free.
Netgear has a line that can do the same thing, but you pay a small fee to do it.
In both cases, this is probably something that you really want and will be sorry if you don't get it.

I would never buy something today that does not report back to a controller.

On the other side, I have had nothing but issues with Netgear switches over the years.

I am looking into setting up OCR search with NC. Anyone do that in NC 15?

I don't use OCR anywhere.

I'm using the Full Text Search... That's not what you're talking about is it?
(Edit: Yes, I know what OCR stands for).

@dafyre that's what I am talking about

FTS and OCR are totally different things. One is searching text, one is optical recognition of hand written or photographic text being turned into text.

I have no need for OCR. We are paperless, have been for a LONG time. We don't need to scan photographs for text.
