As stated previously a single player is located at location 1, while the other two players were 100 klm's away at location 2.
The player at location 1 was displaying the same symptoms as the two players at location 2, as described in the first post. The problem with player 1 resolved by changing the server version from 7.5.3 to 7.5.2. 7.6.0 also works with ethernet but there appears to be a volume gain issue.. The two players at location 2 appear to have experienced failure of the wired Ethernet connections simultaneously (meaning between uses). Server versions between 7.5.1 and 7.6.0. and firmware between 131 to 135 have been tested with these two other players and there has been no success with achieving wired Ethernet connection as the 'setup wired Ethernet connection process stalls' with, "Ethernet Appears Disconnected Please Check Your Network Connection". Something happened to the 2 players at location 2 that did not affect 3 routers, 4 PC's, several network switches and 3 voip ata connectors plus several network IP cameras that were all connected on the same LAN. To further this mystery the two players at location 2 were separated by around 40 meters of Cat5e cable with several switches, routers and networked devices interspersed throughout this distance. Further evidence that it is not a local infrastructure wired LAN network problem is that the new SB Touch and SB Duet that were installed over the weekend in place of the 2 players at location 2, using the same upstream hardware, have both connected via wired Ethernet without a problem. These 2 problem SB Classics will still connect via wireless. These 2 problem SB Classics have been also tested at location 1 and the issue remains. >From testing and process of elimination to date, it appears that wired Ethernet has failed on these 2 SB Classics for reasons unknown, while all other networked devices on the LAN remain unaffected. Resetting by holding 1, +, and brightness on separate occasions while applying power to both the units has been performed many times. It appears these 2 players have become junk unless wireless connections are acceptable. -- smithw ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smithw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44731 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86169 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
