DS-203 or DS-1206??
Hello,
We've already about 55 ds-203 running in our installations. We already need to have some stock and we've thinking about buying ds-1206 instead ds-203.
Is there any problem. What advantages can we have with those new tibbos?. It's 100% compatible with ds-203 functions?
Thanks in advance

Inappropriate?IMHO, you should definitely go with the DS1206, or maybe DS1206N if you don't need the housing.
The DS1206 is just $3 more than the DS203, and the DS1206N (no housing) is exactly the same price as the DS203.
Operationally, you get a whole lot more. It's based on a faster processor, and is fully BASIC programmable. We have a serial-over=IP application (right here, in fact). Once that's loaded on the DS1206 (or DS1206N), it works exactly like the DS203, with three main differences:
1. No PPPoE supported (so if you use PPPoE, that's just about the only drawback)
2. DS1206(N) will have a web management interface in addition to TDST. Password protected of course (and you can totally disable it if you don't want it, just like any other feature).
3. DS1206(N)’s functionality can be extended by the customer when they need to. So you can have custom features of your own -- our serial-over-IP app is open-source, just take it and change whatever you need.
Bottom line -- go for DS1206. It's not a money thing (costs the same, as I said). It's just better.

Inappropriate?Oh yeah, and a couple more features I forgot to mention:
DS1206 also has multi-channel serial port, and also pass-thru power. DS203 doesn't have any of these.
