Re: Dead DS ethernet ports? Post here!
2228 lost 3 DS Ethernet ports pre-season when the DS ground update was in place. We have since implemented the grounding of the disable switch. We added a point to our electrical panel that connects to the CRio chassis, and a point to the Operator Panel that connects to the DS chassis. We made a discharge cable with 1 MegaOhm resistor that we always clip/connect to the CRio chassis and DS chassis prior to plugging in the Ethernet cable. We leave the discharge cable connected at all times during tethered. Since implementing this hardware and discipline we have not experience a single DS ethernet port failure. Humidity levels are now higher than earlier in the season, so this may not be definitive but it does look promising.
