Transmit/Uplink errors

Been getting errors on transmit side, trying to determine if on my side or the satellite/gateway side. Did a reboot so lost the previous hours history. Believe it has been going on for at least 12 hours though. System seems to be working OK though. Thanks.

    Good morning BirdDog,

     

    Yes, I've also noticed since yesterday that your diagnostics showing your current status look fine, however, another set of diagnostics we use show a slow, but steady decline in your alignment over the past months, so I figure we get that straightened out before it gets worse.

  • Hi BirdDog,

     

    Thanks for posting, glad to hear your system is still working in spite of things. Your diagnostics do show your dish needs a re-alignment, do you want me to dispatch a tech to your site? If so, let me know when works best for you.

      Thanks Liz, will make what you setup work. Let me know date/time. Appreciate the help.

    Hey Birddog, are you perhaps trying to upload or sync anything?  I have seen at random times where a terminal will have that issue if you are trying to upload a fair amount of data during prime-time hours on Legacy ES-17... Just a thought.. >.>

      Nope, barely upload at all. Probably most I upload is screenshots here.

  • I have the same problem and it's so intermittant that I finally canceled the tech call they had on hold for me. Can't dianose a problem that isn't occurring. Did you get a chance to see the log before it was erased? Did it have a number of 5, 10, 20, second uplink errors? I'll be interested to see if re-aligning the dish makes a difference. Mine has been re-aligned twice in the last 6 months and the modem has been swapped once. I hope that takes care of it for you.

      Sorry I missed your question earlier. Don't know what the log showed for duration each time but there were numerous red x's for uplink and overall state code was going from good to 12.1.9 - a transmit problem has occurred.
