Hello :-)
My ESS Setup 1xMultiplus 5000 (FW 510), RPI 4, VenusOS 3.30, MK3-USB, Factory made UTP-Cable 2m long) was running fine for one year without any issues. Since a few days the ESS stops working about once a day (sometimes every few hours, sometimes 24h in between) without error message. The reason seems to be that the connection to the Multiplus is lost in some way. Under Multiplus -> Device -> Connected "No" is stated.
A reboot solves the issue everytime. When the connection is lost the command "usb-devices" lists the MK3-Adapter as running, so seems to be not an issue at the linux/usb side. Of course i checked all cable connections and the cable (rj-45 tester during shaking the cable).
Is there a way to check which component is the problem? Could only be the MK3, the UTP-Cable or the Multiplus in my opinion.
Thanks a lot in advance
Johannes :-)
P.S.: Is there a reason why this cable should be unshielded? Would it be a problem to test with SFTP?
