ILoveC4 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Okay, so I got into the Dell switch management interface and was able to assign it a new IP address, and get the network back to where it was...that's good.I gave the switch an IP address of 192.168.1.254, and a default gateway of 192.168.1.1.Now, the connection between the EVA9150 and the other gear still sucks. All ports duplex mode is "full". Backpressure is disabled, and flow control is disabled. I am going through and setting all ports flow control to enabled, let's see if that makes a difference.I have no idea what I am doing here, just hoping this works.Thanks everyone for your help thus far.

ILoveC4 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Okay...cool. Enabling flow control on all the ports I am using bumped the speed back up to 62-63 MB/s like it was before and movies stream flawlessly again.Now, since everything is working I am going to quit messing with it unless someone wants to make some suggestions as to changes in the configuration that I should make.Thanks for your help on this everyone, I really appreciate it.

Now you are using MB/s. Do you actually mean mega-bytes or mega-bits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you are using MB/s. Do you actually mean mega-bytes or mega-bits?I am just going off what shows up on the Netgear GUI when I run a network test. If you want I can take a picture of it when I get home and post it so I make sure I am not typing it wrong.All I know is when the netgear numbers are above 50 (they are in the low 60's usually) the movies stream fine. When they are in the 30's (like they were before I enabled "Flow Control") the movie buffers and doesn't play well.To be honest I have no idea if it si mega-bytes or mega-bits...like I said if you're worried about it I can double check what the GUI says.

CFUG Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Naw, no worries- I don't know myself what is required for a typical HD stream. I guess anything down to 20Mb/s might be OK??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of anyway to figure out the breaking point, but that is what I have experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 It will probably be reflective upon the file's bitrate. Bluray can go as high as 45mbit/s, I believe. Star Trek was 41mbit/s, the ceiling for the Netgear 9100 is 40mbit/s (why the un-altered m2ts stuttered, most likely). HD Broadcast (over the air, not satellite, cable, or other) is can be up to 15mbits, and DVD is about 5mbits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamonddesign Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 In case this thread comes up in a search for someone, the FS726TP mentioned earlier has been on the "black list" by Control4 as not compatible. This could possibly reach to the GS724TP. It does not include the non-powered versions (without the P). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letran Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 diamond, I'm assuming that you are reffering to Netgear switches. Is there anything I should watch out for. I'd appreciate further info.My switch is a 24-port POE Netgear FS728TP http://ca.netgear.com/Products/Switches … 728TP.aspxWould that be on the switch list. I also have another switch that I'm not using. Linksys Gigabit 16-Port Switch http://www.linksysworks.com/SRW2016.asp Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Îs your FS doing the job now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letran Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Well as far as I know. I even love the fact that they are all POE. I do have a new install with a few issues.Some outlets or remotes won't identify.A couple that is identified won't respond to programmingSome remotes are faster or slower than othersThey probably have nothing to do with the swtch!!! Just troubleshooting by elimination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamonddesign Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 We recently became a Netgear partner and I actually spoke to the Control4 account manager there and she informed me that it was just that 1 model and that they are very aware of it and working on it. She also said that the same model may work without issues, it was 2 units that had problems when being tested by Control4.So far, however, only that 1 switch has been mentioned by Control4 as not recommended at this time.It seems that when people have problems with switches it is due to running a lot of power from the POE ports. We use the non-POE versions with midspans from LanPower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 ^So you are saying it is only the FS and not the GS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letran Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I have an FSFS728TP not the "FS726TP" Out of the 24-ports. I'm using the POE for the 5 cameras and the 10 button keypad. None of them are currently installed. Once I've got my POE's installed . I'll post here and let you guys know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin L Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I recommend everyone look at the Dell 28xx series of switches.. They are pretty affordable and are in 100s upon 100s of C4 installs with 0 issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
