My Option 11c 25.40b with 3 expansion cabinets keeps running the Network Signaling Test over and over. Just started doing this for no apparent reason. Have not found a way to stop it. Tried INI several times no luck. Any suggestions? See terminal printout below.

If that is not it, might suspect a power supply as switch will run Cont. check whenever there is a power fault.
 
Thanks for the reply Reusser, looks like I have the suggested setting.

Why would it say pwr ok if it is not? Or am I interpreting wrong?
 
Do you have an Option 11c Mini or the cabinet version?.

Problem
BSD090 relating to expansion cabinet on option 11C

Solution
Replace the 10 meter plastic fiber cable. NTBK78AA

Full description of problem and fix

Symptoms:

Sets disabling in expansion cabinet.

BSD090 Expansion Cabinet 1 - PWR BATT

BSD090 Expansion Cabinet 1 - PWR OK BATT OK

Replace the NTAK78AA 10 meter plastic fiber cable. Temporary workaround could be to unroll the cable
from the fiber receiver card spool so that the cable is somewhat straight.








All the best

If it's working, then leave it alone!.
 
Thanks for the reply, firebirdscrambler,

I have the 11c cabinet version, 1 main cabinet and 3 expansion cabinets. I will try to unroll the fiber cable to see if that helps. Will be Monday before I can try. Will post result then.

10 meters is a lot of excess cable.... are they all 10 meters and just roll the excess up on the spool?
