[time-nuts] Did my Tbolt die ?

2010-07-17 Thread Adam Feigin
After rebooting one of my servers, I noticed that I was no longer getting information from my Thunderbolt. Low and behold, it really seems to be no longer supplying TSIP packets on the serial port. The PS is okay, and the PPS and 10Mhz outputs also are working. Its just the serial output which

Same thing happened to me. Lady Heather said no data was being received. Disconnecting power to the TBolt for a few seconds and reconnecting did the trick. OK, this is on *any* suggestions... Have you unhooked it completely, let it sit there for a while and then hook it up again?

I have had problems with TBolts on PCs. The COM port assignments seem to be a bit volatile, plug in a different mouse or other user and you may find the COM port has been assigned to it. I have never been able to confidently cope with this problem, I just keep hacking the system and sooner

How do you find the latency on a USB to Serial converter? I think a physical port is a little better at not changing than a 'virtal' port :) On Sat, 2010-07-17 at 19:17 +1000, Neville Michie wrote: I have had problems with TBolts on PCs. The COM port assignments seem to be a bit volatile,

Hello Adam, I suspect that: Upon rebooting, the OS came up and did not recognize the (serial) COM port assignment you had used before. Check the COM port assignments in the control panel, and adjust accordingly, to match the actual COM port you are using Looks like the TB is good, I

I picked up this collector's item at a hamfest today. Formerly owned by the USNO. I'm told it has power supply problems. Does anyone have any info on it? Probably too much to ask to find a manual or schematic...      Bruce N7TWB ___ time-nuts mailing
