<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Omni Pro II installed approx 9 years ago. Worked good
all that time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Last June one day I could not connect to the Ethernet
port. WebLink II would not connect either.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I emailed Hai support. We tried a variety of
things.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Reset system, power cycled system Reset Rom, tried to
ping it nothing was successful.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Tried connecting directly with a crossover ethernet
cable with my laptop. No success.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Serial connection worked fine, and everything else
seemed to be working fine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>double checked the IP address, and security key. All
ok.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Nothing with the Omni or network had been changed in
months.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>ACT light on Omni board was blinking like everything was
working normally.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>After several days of back and forth testing, Hai
support determined board needed to be sent in and serviced.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I couldn't afford the repair at the time, so I just
lived with it as it was.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Fast forward to yesterday Oct 6th.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>WebLink II runs on my home server that also run's some
other things I use 24/7 365. That server does get rebooted once every
couple of weeks. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I did one of those random reboots of the
server yesterday. And later in the day I received a surprise email
from Weblink II about an event. The Ethernet port on the OMNI was now working
once again. I've changed absolutely nothing since it stop working.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>The Omni now seems to be completely back to normal
operation of the Ethernet port.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>How could this be after four months??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I'm hoping Tom at Worthington or Scott at HAI will take
the time to comment on this and how it may be avoided in the
future.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Thank you.</FONT></DIV>
