Re: The communication tides are shifting...

the policing of wifi traffic is what doesn't make sense to me. It is possible to MAC address lock the D-Links to a specific AP, so why aren't they? As near as it was explained to me, the master transmitter doesn't have a single MAC, and there is no way to insure the proper MAC is assigned to the right VLAN every time.

As for a sensible language, I base sensible of of what the guy running it can debug. Since most FTA's do labview, it is sensible that they could troubleshoot it. Also, since the rest of the system is already written in labview, it makes sense to have it all done in one language.
