I know that Peter is MIA, but hopefully somebody here has some ideas as to what is going on. I'll try include everything I've done/checked (this has been going on for a long time), but I am sure I will forget something.
All of my tags will drop at the same time and then come right back. Here is what I know/have done:
Like I said, I am sure I forget something, but right now I am out of ideas.
All of my tags will drop at the same time and then come right back. Here is what I know/have done:
- It is almost always between 1:00 AM and 4:30 AM, but sometimes, although this is quite unusual, happen during the day.
- The most common occurrence is 1:30 AM , give or take a few minutes
- I have checked the wall wart and it seems fine
- I have moved the wall wart from my UPS to an open outlet (although the same circuit)
- Changed from an edge port for the serial to the hard port on the PC
- I see nothing in the logs that indicate any issue, nor does nothing run (scripts) at the times of the drops.
- I have disabled McAffee (actually unistalled) firewall and AV, just running the Win XP firewall.
- Settings in the image below
- I have had the RFID installed for nearly three years so I am pretty confident that this is not a cabling issue (i.e. ferrite choke, punched down correctly, etc.).
- I don't recall this ever happening during the first few days after a restart of HS.
- It is not real common. I can go a week or more with no issues, then have issues for a day or two, then nothing again.
- Usually only happens once in a 24 hours period, but I have had nights with numerous drops.
- Outside temp does not seem to be the issue. Reader is inside as are a few of the tags.
Like I said, I am sure I forget something, but right now I am out of ideas.
