Another Skyview Network Connection Fault question

[yoloflyer]

Hi all, first post here. Finishing up a Van's RV-9A with a Skyview SV-D1000 and several other Dynon products on the Skyview network.

Yesterday I finally powered the system up and set about getting things configured, referring to the Getting Started section of the installation guide. After entering the Configure page, I pressed the UPDATE button, which worked successfully. Except that under the line for the display itself, the message SKYVIEW NETWORK CONNECTION FAULT - DATA 2 PAIR (PINS 4 & 8) appeared. Section 21 of the installation guide has some suggestions on how to troubleshoot this; implied in that section is that the problem is likely near the display itself since that's where the message appeared.

To verify everything, I started by ringing out all the network cables (a mix of cables purchased from Dynon and some I made myself). All checked out.

With nothing connected to the db-9 connectors on the back of the unit, the message went away and all the previously discovered devices on the network appeared in red. Plug things back in, everything appeared normal but the message returned.

I have a SV-NET-TEST cable, so next I tried disconnecting everything and only using that cable to connect to various devices. In each case, the message reappeared. This leads me to believe that the fault is in the display itself- it doesn't matter what device is connected, or which cable is used.

I took a couple of photos with my phone camera, attached. One shows the situation where everything is connected as it was when I first encountered the message; the other shows the situation where only the EMS is connected to the display, using the SV-NET-TEST cable.

Thanks for any insight!

That's a little weird. If it were in the display, or one of the cables coming right out from it, you'd expect it to show up on all of the downstream devices too. What happens if you disconnect both SV network cables from the display and do a reconfiguration with just the display? Do you still get that message?

First, note to self: reduce size of photos prior to posting :

I tried it with no cables, but didn't try with a reconfiguration. The result (I tried it a few times to verify repeatability) was no message. Using any cable to any device yielded the message. I'll try reconfiguring with nothing connected in the morning and report back.

Thanks for the reply!

And now I know that I can modify a post. Pix reduced to a relatively sane size.

Tried doing a configuration with nothing connected to the SV ports on the display. That eliminated the message. Then tried doing configurations using the SV TEST cable, connected one at a time to various devices (EMS, autopilot, etc). In each case all devices listed as ready but the yellow message was present under the listing for the display.

I'm out of ideas.

Yeah, that seems to point to an issue with the display, I think. I'll double check with our engineering team here just to make sure.

Just heard back. Yes, it sounds like it's the the display. Give our support team a call at 425-402-0433 or an email at support at dynonavionics dot com so that we can have the display back when it's convenient for you.

Working on that now, thanks!
