Modems - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

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.
