Hi,

Having some connection issues at the moment. I suspect it’s a cabling problem but I thought I’d post this and see what help/advice is avialable.

I’m running a T112 at FOH and an iDR48 at the stage. A Cat5 cable connects the two and this is terminated at both ends at sockets. Two short cat5 cables then connect the iDR at one end to it’s socket and the T112 to it’s socket at the other end. These two cables have been replaced but the problem persists.

What happens is that a Connection Lost message appears on the touch sceen and I normally click Retry and that solves the problem (better not to have the problem but there we go). This past weekend I tried this and ended up with the desk not functioning and the touch screen was showing the paramaters of the channel I was working on (in this case the channel for a tie mic). I had no means of getting out of this situation unless I turned the desk off. I did not want to to this as I was recording directly from the surface to a CD recorder and the recording would have stopped. I was then in a situation where the band came back on and all of their channels were muted! I had to turn the desk off, temporarily lose the recording and turn the desk back on. During this time there was no PA apart from the Tie mic.

I am also having problems connection wirelessly so I was unable to connect by laptop or iPhone to help with these problems. I was able to connect both the previous day during soundcheck but not on the day that the wired connection was lost.

Can anyone offer any help here?

Thanks
