Hi All,
Since some of you asked about the current state of development, we thought it would make sense to address it here.
We are absolutely still actively developing Pockethernet. We've just haven't spent an awful lot of time on development, since we spend the majority of the last year building Pockethernet into a steady business.
So regarding development, whats coming up?
We're almost finished with a software update which includes
- Report: possible to have multiple measurements on the same page, so you can run e.g. 50 wiremap tests and merge them into a single report
- Report: possibility to insert your own logo
- Report: The layout is now more compact so a full report takes only half a page (1 page with photo)
- Report: Long DHCP and CDP/LLDP infos are wrapped inside their box so that the whole text is visible
- Wiremap: We've removed the per-pair detail bars since they often lead to confusion.
- Ping: The status bar will tell you if there are mixed results in a scenario where e.g. 1 succeeds and 1 times out
- VLAN: Fix the VLAN ID setting field, to avoid -1 appearing occasionally
- Info Settings: we've fixed the way the mac address was displayed
What's coming up in 3-6 months
- IPv6
Extra Terminators
Since we get quite often requests about extra terminator IDs we wanted to put out a poll to get some feedback on what you would like to see. There's 2 options that we've researched,
Remote ID
A simple set of remotes IDs that would help you identify different cable runs in the app. This would not include wiremap functionality. Price per piece would be roughly half the price of our current terminator.
Additional wiremap terminators with different IDs
The other option would be a wiremap terminator with an id. This way you can identify a cable and directly also run a wiremap test. There's a considerable price difference between both options, hence we'd like your feedback on which option you would prefer. Price per piece would be around our current terminator price +/- €12 euro's.
