R4 - I found a problem

eddymouse

If you see my next messages (R4 - I can't download to r4 my project. Why?) I have a lot of problem last week to connect to my R4 via USB.
Now I have discover that if I disconnect all my ethernet cables and connections I can to connect to R4.
If my connection is active and I reboot R4 I don't see R4 until I disconnect my cable?
I have tried this with 2 pc( xp pro and win2000 ) and with this trick I can to connect to R4 by USB.
Why?
It's a driver AMX USB LAN problem or it's a pc problem?
Thank's a lot

That's interesting. I would uninstall the AMX USB LAN drivers, reboot, and re-install them. I have no problem connecting to both, so it is clearly something odd that doesn't happen all the time.

There is an issue if you have the screen level set to anything other than the factory default 80, after a reboot it will reset back to 80. Not a major problem but annoying.

Try this:

Go to Start > Control Panel > Network Connections

Go to the advanced menu, select advanced options, and push the usblan connection to the top of the list. I bet it works now.

Honestly, from my POV, its both a software, and a user configuration issue. The system is really complicated, and I feel for the guys writing this stuff for all of our PC's with all sorts of different configurations.

I really wish they had just made it so we could load over zigbee, I mean we can load over AXlink and it's just really slow. Honestly I would prefer a 5 minute load time for my R4's over zigbee versus a 30 second load time over USB, because it take an extra minute to plug each one in. Even if it meant swamping out the zigbee network for that period of time.
