AMX NI-3100 IP Comm issue?

Impaqt

Just got back from a Job Site where my NI-3100 was responding painfully slow. Connection Dropped constantly from Telnet and Studio, But the Touchpanel (A MVP-8400) ALways stayed Green.

AMX is replacing it, but the loaner I put in was responding similarly (Although not qute as bad)

I use Zyxel Gigabit Switches.(G-105a inthis case)

So I forced the Master to 100 Half and everything started communicating the way it should.


Is this a problem with the Auto detection on the NI's? Is it getting completely confused because its connected to a Gigabit switch?

Has anyone else noticed this kind of behavior?

I have never had much luck running the NIs at 100meg. I always force them to 10meg-half. They come out of the box set to Auto and then, goto 100 full.

I've had the same problems with IP communications. setting it to 10 half seems to always clear up any problems. There's really no problem running them that slow. They do just fine.

I've had to do that before as well.. The first box I had set up I did force it to 10 base/Half and it still freaked out... So hes still going back to AMX...

Its weird.. SOmetimes(Most of the time actually) I leave it default out of the box and it runs fine... But then some just need to be forced toa specific speed.... Dunno if its the switches I'm using or the NI's
