    Hi  Wiz_THS,

     

    The current implementation on 10.16.04.04 (MR1) is as follows:

    - MR1100 boots up and ethernet port is live for about 30 seconds

    - If Ethernet port detects something plugged in it will remain active

    - If Ethernet port detects nothing is plugged in it will disable the port to preserve battery life

     

    We are investigating ways of keeping the ethernet port active whilst still trying to preserve battery life.  These fixes could possibly be implemented in MR2 but not commited as yet.

     

    Kind Regards,


    ArodiD

The ethernet timeout and no IP-passthrough are show-stoppers for me. I can't use this device for my requirements until this is fixed - it's sitting on the shelf......
