Error counters OK?

Wed Jun 03, 2015 5:41 pm

I've had problems with Packet Loss from an indoor router to a outdoor ws-mini. After some testing I am sure it is the quality/length of the cable.
I replaced it and the packet loss is gone.

What leaded me in the wrong direction is that ws-mini did not show errors on this port. I guess there should be a lot FCS-Errors. Packet loss was massive.
FW=1.2.2.

Sure the error counter is correct?

Yes, the error counters are correct. From your description these errors should have been counted as "Rx CRC" in the Port Detail.

I checked the cable and found the ground was not connected to the housing of the plug. Seems this generates a condition where there are no errors shown in the statistics despite heavy packet loss.
