Every so often (many months apart), my Galaxy Dimension system reports a COM FAIL for no discernible reason, and this happened again yesterday.
I'm using the E080 Ethernet interface, configured according to the selfmon instructions.
The system has a dedicated router port and its own private VLAN, to keep it away from any other troubles on my home network.
The router logs show no event at the time the fault was reported.
Selfmon shows the system successfully completing its line test on time, as expected, with no gaps.
Fing.com shows a BT network problem in SE England which overlaps with the time of the event.
Entering Engineer mode, and then exiting again (with the subsequent system tests that implies) clears the fault, and it's back to normal again - until the next time.
Can anyone here suggest what the issue might be? I suspect it's BT having a problem, but would like to eliminate local faults on my network if possible
Might I get round it by increasing the number of retries in menu 56.4.06? It's currently 20.
Any idea what the maximum number I can put in there is?
How long does each retry take? (And therefore how long would I be vulnerable in the event of a genuine problem).
Thanks!
