    Hello coxbuell, 

     

    You're welcome, I hope that the FVS318N will cover all that you need. That's an interesting network you're trying to build. 

     

    If one of my replies has helped you fix or give answers to your issues please mark it as "accepted solution". Let us know if you have more questions. 

     

    Thanks,

Hello coxbuell, 

 

Welcome to the community! 

 

You'll probably need a switch and some APs (Access Points) if that is the case. What kind of environment are you planning to build you network on? Do you already have routers/firewalls or DHCP servers in place? 

 

Looking forward to your response. 

 

Thanks,

    Hi,

    Thanks for your answer.

    I don’t have any router or DHCP in place yet.

    I just have few machines which need to communicate via RJ45 (computers, contacts I/O, DMX lights, Wi-Fi tablet control).

    No access to Internet, just closed network.

    Most of machines are in a bay 19’’.

    I think I need a rack router Wi-fi with 10 x RJ45.

    But I don’t know which one to choose?

    Do you have an optimized suggestion?

    Thanks for your help.

      Hello again coxbuell, 

       

      Our routers are not rack-mountable unfortunately, they are only desktop models. TheFVS318N firewall has 8 ports for LAN and capable of wireless. You'll be needing an additional switch if you'll pick the FVS318N. It's looking like your building a mobile soundstage :) 

       

      Cheers,

        Thanks,

        It's looks fine.

        I can put it on a shelf rack.

        I'm working on a project of immersive room with different stimuli like:

        Video,

        Sound,

        Smelt,

        Wind,

        Temperature,

        Light.

        And I need to make everybody communicate to the automate.

        Thanks for your help.

        Sincerely.

        NC
