Jimmy's advice is sound. Those little desktop switches go bad; we replace them with some regularity at work. If the cable is not being moved around or strained regularly, I would suspect the switch is on its way out. I've seen copper Ethernet cables that lasted decades; I don't think I've seen a little 4-, 5-, or 8-port switch last that long. ________________________________ From: BVARC <bvarc-boun...@bvarc.org> on behalf of Jimmy Vance via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2022 10:27 AM To: bvarc@bvarc.org <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: Jimmy Vance <jimmy.va...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [BVARC] ethernet question
Was it the same cable between the computer and the radio as normally used on the switch, that would eliminate a cable issue. For best AoIP (or RoIP) isolate the devices on their own network or VLAN. Call me and we can discuss various options --jv On 9/18/2022 9:45 AM, JP Pritchard via BVARC wrote: A little help please! I normally connect my Anan 7000 transceiver to an eight port switch where it connects with the computer that controls the transceiver. It has worked perfectly for months. But I am now seeing error messages indicating short intermittent sequence errors (dropped packets I suppose you would call it) between the radio and the computer. As you would expect, the audio drops out when the errors occur. First step in my process of elimination was to circomvent the switch and connect the radio directly to the computer. That killed all sequence errors and all worked as it should. Next step in the process was to reconnect the computer and the radio to the switch, but remove the ethernet surge protector from the run between the switch and the radio. That made no difference and the errors resumed. Now I figure it's got to be bad ethernet cable or the switch needs to be replaced. Any thoughts on this from my computer savvy ham friends? 73, JP, K5JPP ________________________________________________ Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club BVARC mailing list BVARC@bvarc.org<mailto:BVARC@bvarc.org> http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Publicly available archives are available here: https://www.mail-archive.com/bvarc@bvarc.org/
