Intermitting Inline5/Insite 762/Laptop setup

[Rawze]

Sometimes anti-virus software or other software will interfere with the USB ports and cause disconnect problems too. Especially when there is a lot of data transferring back and fourth to/from the engine.

Could be truck, could be laptop, could be software you have installed recently, could be virus?

Also, I have an inline-5 adapter that is really old here (one of the first generation with serial connection on it) and it likes to get hot inside it (warm on the outside of it) after a while and give intermittent connections.

If you run your Insite software in a VM environment (VMware, VirtualBox, KVM, etc.) then you can get disconnect issues with insite too. To prevent this, you have to assign the entire PCMIA controller for the USB port(s) itself to the VM instead of forwarding only the adapter.


Just some thoughts on things i have seen in the past.
