Gordon and Tom worked on improving the ethernet connectivity. Gordon opened the low DSM and discovered that the ethernet surge protectors were extremely hot.
12:13 Gordon pulled ethernet fuses in the mid DSM
12:17 Gordon removed the ethernet fuses in the high DSM
From the low DSM, Tom pinged, in succession, the high DSM, mid DSM, the router (192.169.0.5), and google.com. In all cases, 50 pings were returned with no missing returns. At the same time the ethernet surge protecters in the low DSM cooled appreciably. Vmote (3,19) at the high DSM now reads a voltage of 12.22 V.
Gordon added an ethernet surge protecter to the cable between the ethernet switch and the router now at the top of the tower.
