Hi can anyone please tell me what type of ethernet card and software version I would  need for a galaxy 96 with v6.70 fitted. 

many thanks.

E080 will do

Yes, an E080, but buy an E080-08 or an E080-10.   The older models have a bug that allows a syn-flood to crash the panel.  The E080-4 and A083-00-01 modules use an obsolete Texas Instruments CPU that has a burnout problem. You'll get an old used E080-4 on Ebay for around £30, but it may not last for long before it dies.   

 

The E080-08 and E080-10 are based on a new CPU design that doesn't have any of those issues.

 

 

Depending on application , DIY won't worry about syn flood

 

Good info tho

Yes, some network misconfiguration can also crash the panel (I've had a couple of customers who have experienced that), but low risk compared to the CPU going pop. The board is scrap once this happens. If you have an older module and it works, then it may keep doing so. The longer they lie on the shelf without power makes it more likely to fail.

 

I wouldn't sell the older boards now, as they're just a headache.

Old boards are Good sellers in eBay tho , i still manage to get £50-£80 for them , most don't seem to be fussed lol

 

 

More around £30 to £40 now. I've had a few come to me to buy the -08 / -10 after their -04 eBay purchase has failed after a few months.  Too late for any comeback on eBay, so they just accept the lesson learned and part with the money to get their system working again.

Thanks a lot lads I have enough info now to head over to Ebay and have a look round cheers.
