XS708T 10G/1000M Long Auto Negotiation
Hi guys, I have a XS708T 10G switch for communicating to 2-4 ethernet cameras at a time.The cameras can either be 10G enabled or 1G only, but i have noticed during the camera boot up, the auto negotiation of the switch can take minutes before it finalizes on a rate and connects to the PC. This happens even if i force the ports into 10G or 1000M. If i go directly into the PCI ethernet card, camera connects immediately and I have no problem. I do need these to be networked though, but its extremely unreliable at this point. has anybody else seen this, any ideas?What are the parameters for automatic firmware update?
What, exactly, are the parameters for which a router and/or satellite will auto-update? I know the initial firmware release had a bug that prevented it from working, but I can honestly say I've never once had either device automatically update on its own (a la Google OnHub and Eero). I've waited up to 3 days after a formal release with no automatic updates at all (though both devices will readily update from the web UI after detecting a new version has been released, so I know that part is working). Just wasn't sure what the thresholds were in terms of days after release, whether the router and satellite want to auto-update at the same time or separately, how each determines the best time of day to do it (based on clock? utilization patterns? something else?), etc. Rodney
