Thanks Chris, can you confirm compatibility with A-bus input on v2 software?

The issue we found out was a total PoE allocation issue. Each ME-1 needs 15w of PoE and many switches will provide that per port, however, they have total limit of say 50w. If this is the case then you could only hook up 3 ME-1 units. Our switch was a bit short of power, found a switch to handle total PoE load the problem was solved.

Yes, I spoke with tech support and we changed network switches. We had a Netgear that was unmanaged but had several options for set-up, including “storm casting” or something similar with a known conflict with the A&H protocol. I went to a Trendnet TPS-88e? Regardless, the issue is gone and all is working well. Plus the Trendnet has 135w available for the PoE so no issues powering 7 ME-1.
