Be methodic.
Place a label of the ip used.
Is on production, at fixed position: use fixed ip.
Is on production, not fixed position: shellscript + xforms and you have
a popup to tell where your iaxy is. Not the best solution, but, not a
critical issue. At least not for me.

Static * box ip using vpn. You need extra hardware, but due the dhcp and
nat-piercing capabilities, you can live without this...

Yes, this is an issue, iaxy unit do have something like a reset switch,
I used, no luck. That where I relized to be methodic. Iaxy at
production, label, not at production, provided with a generic
192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 gw 192.168.0.1 * bpx
configuration. Not to die for.

ssh needs a lot of hardware, tftp, maybe... providing works good for me.
You may have a point.

I think, iaxy is a very well tougth product, and I´m using it at
production. Mainly becose, it doesn´t have too much technical issues, it
works perfectly with * and there is nothig a vpn + routing cannot solve.

Lukly there is a lot of people.
