I have had this problem, on the job site I had, it was caused by a Wi-Fi router to close to the equipment. I moved all the Wi-Fi equipment away, and all of my issues were resolved. The Wi-Fi access point that I used to connect the Mate to Optics also caused
problems.</div>

I tried replacing all of the cables with shielded cables, and routing them away from AC lines, and it did not help. I had to move the Wi-Fi equipment.</div>

<div dir="auto">Aloha Wayne,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We too have been plagued by this issue, that has been extremely frustrating for us and our clients. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The newest 1.4.6 firmware is supposed to fix this issue. We have updated our systems with this and so far so good. However because of the sometimes long delays between the faults we can't be certain. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Prior to this most common fix was replacing the mate. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also on FP2 we had a couple factory units have the hub jumpers set for the wrong stacking. I believe they were set for parallel operations versus series. Strange it would work fine with the jumpers either way for a long time. But it's worth a check. </div>

The systems will work flawlessly for months and then randomly show error and the firmware mismatch. Occasionally the system will discover (on its own) that the firmware is the same and turn back on. But usually, the "solution" is to unplug the mate and plug
it back in and like magic...everything works again anywhere from 3 months to a year.</div>
