There is one switch per Mac mini. It is the small box with all the Ethernet cables, usually placed on top of the Mac mini. It is unmanaged: it has no configuration, no login and no IP address of its own. It simply passes data between the ports and supplies power. text/html 2026-11-06T21:50:04+00:00 ohardt (ohardt@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.hardtlab.com/doku.php?image=methods%3Amaterials%3Asmartpssappicon.jpeg&ns=methods%3Amaterials&rev=1794001804&tab_details=history&media_do=diff&do=media <img src="http://www.hardtlab.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?w=500&amp;h=500&amp;tok=6bb1c6&amp;media=methods:materials:smartpssappicon.jpeg" alt="smartpssappicon.jpeg" loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" /> text/html 2026-11-06T21:50:04+00:00 ohardt (ohardt@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.hardtlab.com/doku.php?image=methods%3Amaterials%3Asmartpssdashboard.jpg&ns=methods%3Amaterials&rev=1794001804&tab_details=history&media_do=diff&do=media <img src="http://www.hardtlab.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?w=500&amp;h=500&amp;tok=3c7c71&amp;media=methods:materials:smartpssdashboard.jpg" alt="smartpssdashboard.jpg" loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" /> text/html 2026-11-06T20:22:17+00:00 ohardt (ohardt@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.hardtlab.com/doku.php?id=methods:materials:cameras&rev=1793996537&do=diff Dahua IP cameras (IPC-HDBW2320RN-ZS) Dome cameras used for animal recording in the lab.
