Hi Lieven
With regards to ACE
The traffic lights in the Surface Link info window on the Status page show QOS – Quality of service of the connection between MixRack and Surface.
Green means no packet errors have been recorded in the last 3 Minutes
Orange means 1 -> 2 errors have been recorded in the last 3 minutes
Red means 3 or more errors have been recorded in the last 3 minutes
This is a rolling window of 3 minutes, meaning that errors drop-out of the calculation after 3 minutes have past.
Examples
A 3 error cluster will turn the traffic lights to Red; this will then return to green after 3 minutes if no further errors are found.
If you have 1 error every 50 seconds continuously this will result in the light going red and will stay in the red.
2 quick errors then 1 error within 3 minutes will result in the traffic light going red briefly, then to orange (as the first two errors drop out of the window 3 minute window), then back to green 3 minutes after the last error.
With regards to cabling
If you are getting regular errors it is a good idea to check your cable quality and make sure that the Ethercon connections on the iLive system are clean and in good condition.
Your cable length seems fine but I am unsure of the quality of the cable you are using. Below is a link to the recommended/Tested cable we supply at A&H.

Hope this helps
