We would also like to inform you that the manufacturing of RB532 (32MB RAM) has been discontinued and this model of RouterBOARD is not available anymore.

Edit: Only the RB532(with 32MB RAM) has been discontinued. The RB532A(with 64MB RAM) will continue to be manufactured.
So 802.3af is supported again after the rb192,rb133/c & rb333 not supporting more than 28v.
And it doesn’t support less than 38V on POE? I’m not going to be able to standardize on one power supply ever again
Hopefully the Gigabit ports are more stable than the ones on the rb44G.
impressive..
It would be good for them to support 2.9x instead of only 3.0 .. im scared to give the new ros 3.0 a try after the bugs i read on the forum..
The IEEE 802.3af standard supports delivery of Power over Ethernet up to 15.4W per port that may be used to deliver power to a variety of devices (figure 1.) The IEEE 802.3af standard also defines the concept of power classes including a reserved class that may be extended to support increased power delivery to PDs in the future. As an example, this class may be expanded to support the power requirements of a laptop PC that typically draws much more than the 15.4W currently allowed for within IEEE 802.3af.
So your POE switch may not be able to power this device.
Not happy they are discontinuing RB532 because of this.
Atleast give us 6 months of a known working product before such is done.
Right now we don’t have a replacement for RB532 that is 100% tried and true in the field
RB333 and RB600 are NOT at that point yet.
Even so it would still make sense that as these new boards are V3 only that they didn’t discontinue products that work in favour of ones that are still at an RC stage.
This is perhaps off topic, but I decided to ask anyway due to the fact that the RB600 specs are being discussed over here.
What I need to know, is wheter you can install MT on a CF using the RB600. I have tried this with an RB532A, it didn’t work, I contacted MT support and they said it won’t, as the board was designed in such a way that MTROS can only be run from the NAND.
What I ideally would like to do, is to install MTv3.1 level6 on a CF, and use the second CF slot for Usermanager data. The main and most important reason for this is in order to run the UM off a 12VDC battery backup.
Our South African power provider ran into magor problems and apparently we’ll have to live with these problems for years to come. Some days we have power outages for 2 to 4 hours in one go, usually at the peak hours for business. Our entire system is on battery backup, highsites, core routers, switches, PSTN routers etc, only UM is not.
