Have you seen the same thing, high power consumption and high case
temperature, for no reason? Lantronix told us they'd never seen it
before.

Yeah we saw it suck cuurent and act flaky, we had a net work of 3
lantronix rs-485 to ethernet, all the thernets back to a pc. we buffered
the drive signal from the lantroinx to drive rs-485 using "cp1" to
select drive enable. on random times wewould get data failures, have to
re boot and would work fine for 100's of hours. then fail ususally hot.
we used curent limitng power supplies so we could see when the beasts
failed. considering another source for that function and eliminating
the rs-485 to ethernet bridging entirley...made sense for using exsitng
wiring at first..
