Modems - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in 2010 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2010, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I have a network with radyne satellite modems and Celtro compression equipment connected. There is one HUB with a DMT 4000 and 8 remote sites with DMT 1000 Celtro units. Some of the ciruits works fine, but one or two will work for about a week and then fail and also affect the working sites.

It looks like the buffer one one of the sites fills up and causes a failure.

I have changed the modems but the problem persists.

Do you have any suggestions to what the problem might be.

A simple question (maybe too simple): Have you verified that the software/firmware versions of the buffer-filled models are the same as the ones that work properly? Unless you swapped the bad ones with the ones that do not fail in operation (not just from a test bench), it is possible that the replacements have the same software/firmware as what they are replacing. If versions are inconsistent, it might even be an older version that is working correctly, so don't just assume the newer code is better.

About RF Cafe Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Webmaster: Kirt Blattenberger, BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
