I am having problems with intermittent connection timeouts "Comm Status Retrying (100)" when using Dealer PC Access over IP to connect to an OPII with v3.0 firmware for downloading and uploading. The connection is local with the PCA software running on a recent PC with Win 7 Pro, 100 Mb to a switch that also feeds the OPII. HaikuHelper also suffers with occasional panel disconnect/reconnect warnings.
I have done various tests to narrow down the source of the problem including removing all non-critical programming lines, fully power cycling the panel, removing all serial and X10 connections. It appears that when I disconnect the four RC series thermostat communications link the problem is reduced, but not solved.
Next of course I will disconnect one thermostat at a time to see if I can further isolate the source. Yes, I confirmed that their addresses are properly 1, 2, 3, 4.
Other suggestions for ethernet communications issues? I have also replaced cables, applied software upgrades, tried an alternate laptop, etc...
