I visited a church today to help them get their SQ6 and the new (used) AR2412 + AE84 up and run.
All went well, but after a while we lost the connection from the console to the AR2412.
After some test, change of network cables etc. , I ended up putting my own AR2412 on instead of the churches, and all worked flawlessly.
It seems like the Ethercon bot D-snake and Expander (unable to test the ME), are both worn out and the slightest movement of a connector can break the chain.
Now I wonder, in the older 2412 (the purple one), how hard is it to change the Ethercons ?
The people at the church are not yet decided if they should return this used box and order a brand new, or just get the Ethercon connectors replaced.
