Could you recommend a cable that is clearly superior in quality? Regards Somehow "good" was turned into "superior". By "good", I meant that it works, the opposite of "bad" meaning it doesn't work. I have both. I am not interested in fiber cable "rolling" per se, but if someone finds a "superior" cable that could be interesting. nuckleheadaudio.com Link to post Share on other sites

Superdad Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 9 hours ago, MrKlutz said: Everything works well through all the steps except after reinserting the SFP I get confirmation of network connection and start playing - but after half a song it then drops out... I played at least two songs through the Ethernet/copper-line attached with no issues (green and orange light)... So there definitely something going on with the spf. Hi Michael: Thanks for going through the steps to confirm that your EtherREGEN is working well through all its copper ports. Since there really is not much to the SFP cage (its connector is just wired straight to the main switch chip (and there is a 3.3V power network dedicated to powering whatever SFP transceiver you insert), the most likely source of your issue is one of the SFP transceivers (could be either the one you insert in the EtherREGEN or the one upstream). You said you had a big power surge, so maybe one of them--or your TP-Link FMC has been damaged. Please experiment further with: different FMC, different SFP transceiver modules, etc. I'm sure you will discover the source of the trouble. Feel free to contact us directly for additional assistance. Best wishes, --Alex C. UpTone Audio LLC Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone have an idea? first thing i would do is restart your innous device. next thing i would do is put everything on the "a" side to see if that works. then you could also flip sides (innous from "b" to "a" side and your network connection from "a" to "b" side) and see if that works. sources: intel nuc8i7 (win10, roon core, hqplayer) (server) | intel nuc8i5 (audiolinux, naa) (renderer) headphone rig: schiit yggdrasil (a2, unison) > bryston bha-1 > senn hd600 main rig: chord dave > parasound jc2bp > parasound jc5 > kef reference 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The “B” side on the ER is 100Mbps whereas the Innuos Zenith appears to be 1000Mbps (1Gbps) speed according to their specs. As noted above, if you connect it to the “A” side and it works then that is the problem. If so, you could turn the ER around so incoming is side “B” and output is side “A”.

Vangelis Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 My server reboot did not help. My network speed averages just below 100mb . Does the ER require over 100 MB speed to function properly? It was also mentioned about shorter cables from out of the ER to the server are recommend, my ethernet cable is 20 feet. I’ll try reversing A to B.

Vangelis Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Switching the direction of the mote from a to B to A and back and rebooting everything did not solve my issue. Have I missed something significant here in my purchase. I guess my first and foremost concern is, does the EtherRegen require 100 mbps across the mote in either direction to function properly? I live in a rural area and we max out at 110mbps a good day with a tail wind. Most the time it averages at 90 mbps.

I live in a rural area and we max out at 110mbps a good day with a tail wind. Most the time it averages at 90 mbps. Hope this is not OT but what we are talking about with regards to speed is your local (inside your house) network speed. The speed (e.g. 100Mbps) you refer to, I believe, is the Internet speed in/out of your house and is not really relevant here. Generally, the network boxes inside your house (router, ER, switches, computers) will auto-negotiate with each other depending the speed of each device, generally 10/100/1000Mbps, as well as control the network traffic as needed. As mentioned, a diagram of your network can help everyone troubleshoot your issue and get you up and running.

MarkusBarkus Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Had a similar issue a few days ago with new eRG and Aurender ACS10. Would not stream. Network all good. Swapped ethernet cable eRG to streamer. Nope. Refreshed Conductor app on iPad a couple if times, but it took about an hour of ignoring it and coming back to it before all was fine. All green lights and streaming. I know it's apples to applesauce, and not common troubleshooting practice, but maybe check back in a bit? I know that is frustrating advice...
