I ve got a syvecs sn6pnp and cant connect with it ive tried 2 cables and 3 laptops. i managed to connect to it once so took it to my mapper straight away todayand it wouldnt connect again? is this ecu maybe faulty? cheers

 

Who is your mapper ?

 

dont you need the right software to connect to it?

 

you can download the sw from the syvecs forum. I'd be getting n touch with who i bought it from

 

^^^edit to above did you buy new and how long have you had it?

 

Contact your mapper and check that you/your mapper have not pulled the network plug off the syvecs board.

 

Got it new off simon (jolly green monster) not been used since simon fitted last year been i the garage finishing off until 2 days ago.
Got all the right software and network plug looks fine.?

 

Speak to Simon would be my first thought.

 

Best mapper on here IMHO but he is in Ireland till Friday. Text would be best way to contact him.

 

They can be a bit fussy about the quality of the cable. You really need a CAT6 screened cable: are the two you tried random ones from the back of a cupboard, or decent ones?

I'm pretty sure the Syvecs firmware is quite clever and will connect to a laptop regardless of whether the network adapter is set to a fixed IP address or if it's expecting DHCP - but I've only ever tried DHCP so might be worth making sure your laptop is set to that.

Do you get any error messages when you try and connect?

 

got a brand new cable tday from pc world.

 

OK, good - sounds unlikely to be the cable then. And if you've managed to connect to it once, doesn't sound like a laptop issues. Other than a faulty ecu, the only thing I can think of is to check whether the metal ecu casing is catching on the circuit board, perhaps in the vicinity of the RJ45 Ethernet connector.

Syvecs uses the oem case, and to access the RJ45 the case is cut slightly...maybe there's a burr or similar where there shouldn't be?

 

Tried as best as I could, to talk you through it today whilst in the middle of the irish sea

If it worked once there should be no reason why it wont work again.

I would advise against taking to someone that doesnt know syvecs and cant sort it for you though. Just imho.

Simon

 

Simon - not sure if you're referring to me; only trying to help out

 

If i remember rite you struggled to get in to when you first fitted and then suddenly it worked.. I will wait until your back and available to have a look at it for me Simon. cheers

 

IP wont make a diff mate, syvecs client works at layer 2 of the osi model not layer 3

 

Ah, OK, makes sense

 

guessing its like using a sniffer, for the OP I have connected to my syvecs when my laptop was setup for DHCP and Fixed Ip's connected no problems both times and mapped by Simon also

 

Dont recall.

Welcome to return it to syvecs to check it, should be within warrentee.
