Standby Network Error - Data 2 Pair (Pins 4 and 8)

[DHeal]

After 10 years and 1,400 hours of excellent performance (Skyview in RV-12 ULS) I am suddenly receiving intermittent "Standby Network Error" warnings. Drilling down I get "#5 - Skyview Network Connection Fault - Data 2 Pair (Pins 4 & 8)". The warnings occur seemingly in a random manner every few minutes or so and last for about 15 - 45 seconds. There are no apparent corresponding anomalies on any other instruments or systems. Any suggestions as to where/how to troubleshoot this issue?

ps - The only thing I touched just before these warnings started was the replacement of my headsets (LS Zulus) and I had a straight-forward bi-annual transponder check. I can't imagine that these actions are related to my issue?

Go to the network status page to determine which device may be causing the error, and check the connections and wiring to that device first. Unfortunately, pins 4 and 8 get duplicated all over the system, so you may have to check a bunch of places. It's quite common to have connection and/or wiring problems over time. Might just be a loose connector.

SkyView Reports STANDBY NETWORK ERROR

Hello, I was just about stranded yesterday when my HDX display started freaking out on the way back home. All systems had worked fine previously from new to about 80 hours (new RV7) before the issue began. The display will report an amber message "STANDBY NETWORK ERROR" and various modules...

OK, I've checked the continuity of the "Pins 4 and 8" paired wires feeding the back of my Skyview display -- all checked out fine but I'm still getting the occasional SNR warning as noted above. Just out of trouble-shooting curiosity, if I relocate the 9-pin plug on the back of the SV display to it's companion/adjacent plug do I have to reset the display to use this alternate plug?

The two network connectors on the back of the display are just directly connected internally, there are just two connectors to make the wiring easier (and require fewer splicing, or network connection panels)

So I gather from this that I can swap the top plug to the bottom position without any issue?

Correct. All of the 9-pin DSUB connectors on the Dynon hardware are equivalent. Any device from Dynon that has multiple 9-pin DSUB connectors can have the cabling swapped between them, they don't care.
