Ethernet loss
Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2018 8:52 pm
A bit of a strange one, but there again I think any issue is strange until you have one.
Everything was working fine, Protocol 1 and PowerSDR mRX PS v3.4.9
So why play about with it you may ask, well I wanted to try Protocol 2 again as there is a later version of before.
I installed P2 firmware but had an issue that I could not access the radio so decided to go back to P1,
Problem is now, I have packet loss and other times I loose total connection to the radio.
I fire up the radio but not PowerSDR and ping the radio, radio is connected with a static IP on a dedicated network card and I run a continues ping to the radio.
Ping statistics for 192.168.80.2:
Packets: Sent = 1030, Received = 1001, Lost = 29 (2% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 6ms, Average = 2ms
sometimes it just 1 or 2 pings that drop and other times it just looses connection and the only way to reconnect is to disable the network card and re enable it.
I have tested with 3 network cards and have the same issue with them all, I have tested with firmware Orion_v5.1 and Orion_v5.2 and have the same issue with both. When I load Protocol 2 firmware I can't ping the radio at all but the static IP is staying on the radio as when I change back to Protocol 1 firmware I can again ping the radio.
Looks like the network adapter has gone west after trying to load Protocol 2.
Like I said, up to today everything has been working fine and now this issue after trying to change the firmware, if I plug in another device to the network card I can ping it 100% without any packet loss.
The radio has a dedicated network card and it's not plugged in via a switch, it's a direct connection, the PC it a bit of a monster, it's a i7 running at 3.4GHz 128GB Fast RAM and 1TB SSD + 250GB SSD to run Windows 10 Pro. Network Card now in Intel Pro /1000 Dual Port but had tried both an Intel Pro and a Realtek.
Anyone got any suggestions?
