GS108PE-v3 throughput reduced in firmware version 2.00.08
Hi there, We have used the GS108PE and GS105 for a number of years, to drive 3 machine-vision cameras (Gig-E). The system requires a total throughput of around 844 Mbps. Today we attempted to...
Hi DaneA,
I measured, and this is what I found:
0. Factory default settings with firmware version 2.00.03: Greater than 844Mbps. I didn't attempt to measure higher than that.
1. Factory default settings with firmware version 2.00.08: About 683 Mbps or less.
2. Firmware version 2.00.08 with Flow Control set to "Enable": Greater than 944Mbps, the highest I could generate with 2 cameras.
My conclusions:
1. With factory default settings and 2.00.08 firmware, the GS108PE-v3 has limited bandwidth. This implies flow control is enabled by default.
2. The values displayed for Flow Control in the GUI are misleading. A status of "Enable" displayed against a port means flow control is *disabled* for that port, and vice-versa.
Cheers
