SdL3 ethernet comnect failures

Postby speedsport on Sat Feb 08, 2025 11:07 am

I'm starting to have increasing issues with being able to connect to my SDL3 via ethernet.

Currently i have to try uowards of 10 times to get a connection.

I have not been able to identify the culprit. I've tried a new cable (my laptop only has usb, so i have a ethernet to usb adapter, but I've tried a new one of those too), wiggling everthing, ect. Nothing seems to make a difference.

It seems to be random. Last night i could not connect. I touched nothing but shut down dash manager and restarted it. Connected immediately. Other times I've cycle power to the dash and it connected immediately. But these don't always get it to connect, so it's really hard to tell what's going on.

Any common issues with these units?

I find that restarting the dash manager is often the solution to non-connection problems with ethernet connected dashes.

It seems like it's related to my laptop and dash manager.

If I shut down dash manager and restart, it works.

It's really getting annoying though - it seems to loose connection during communication between the laptop and the dash. 1 out of 3-4 times when uploading a config file to the dash it will loose connection, always at the same spot of the upload.

I was doing sensor calibrations this weekend and every 4-5 times I read a value of a sensor it would disconnect.

I'm on version 2.60.52.0 of SDL3 dash manager. I can't tell from the motec site if this is the latest version. Anyone know? Using Windows 10 Pro.
