How long is the Cat5 cable run?

Voodoo, and patience?

Yikes, I remember once upon a time dialing into various Wizard for Windows systems using a modem and pcAnywhere...

What is the purpose for wanting to turn off feature updates? It can be done, but eventually you'll end up with a version of Windows that will stop receiving updates as older versions of Windows 10 are retired. The better solution would be to use Windows 10 LTSC. It does not receive any feature updat...

I think OP was referring to this photo from my Nautel NV20 Repair/Restoration topic: IMG_2378.JPG The test system was a module that I designed and built to facilitate easy and safe connection to the power supply unit, as well as providing some basic control and feedback. To answer Titan's question, ...

Intercept the traffic with Wireshark, maybe that might provide some clues as to what the Digicart is looking for and where the process is failing?

Trying to send two 4K MVP outputs to two different control rooms. (total of four 4K monitors, two in each CR) I've tried three different HDMI splitters that claim to support 4K/60Hz but none work. (all the lights light up to indicate there's a cable there, but there's no video) They do need to driv...

Can you check if all of your Z-Plane ISO temperature levels readings are normal? If you see any that are way off, or indicated as ##.# then you've probably got an issue with either the ribbon cables to the ISO board assembly, or the ISO assembly itself is faulty.

I've always wondered why it's not common practice to monitor the VSWR of the combined output, where antenna faults can be detected and tran...
