Hi, I have an ethernet network connecting together 5 control logix processors. I can plug in to any hub and go on line. I used to be able to unwrap a length of cat 5 cable (40 metres) and plug in and work at a distance from the hubs. Not anymore. The windows icon says the cable is unplugged and RSLinx returns a comm error of 01E00204.
The cable tests OK. (Have tried several cables)
The hubs used are netgear 4/5 port. All cables at the hubs are into the normal holes, ie none are set for uplink. Distance between hubs is approx 70 metres. This one has me beat.
Also I am trying to set up a wireless access point (Belkin) to allow me to go online anywhere on the floor with my notebook. Any one had success with this.
Regards Alan
