Just curious about those sites who use USB devices that have stopped
working...

Do you happen to use hand held radios?

Our USB mouse (not trackball) and keyboards are working without any
rebooting of  5 AW P81s. We are not using any extenders. Regards,

We are having the same issue, but not as often as you appear to be
having. We just accept that we have to reboot occasionally (once or
twice a week). Would love to know of a better solution.

We also have issue with the SUN supplied ball mice. Ball mice went out
with the ark, especially in a dirty industrial environment!! We have
found Microsoft USB optical mice don't work, but Dell optical mice do.

Subject: [foxboro] USB disgust
All of you list gurus ......
Anyone experiencing problems with P81 USB mouse and keyboards? I have an
AW that 5 times in the last 3 days has had to be rebooted because the
mouse and keyboard quit working. We are using the USB extenders provided
by Foxboro. This has been an ongoing problem and I submitted a CAR,
installed a Custom Quick Fix Foxboro provided. I am a little
disappointed with the support Foxboro has given me on this problem.
Usually they are really good at helping solve issues like this. Of
course I am upset because we can no longer unplug and re-plug the
keyboards ...... but Foxboro says that it is Sun thing. We are pretty
sure that part of the problem is static discharge and have taken a
multitude of steps to resolve the issue. About the only thing that we
haven't done is install anti-static flooring and if I tell the facility
we will have to do that I will probably be looking for a job. Next week
I am going to change out the standard CAT 5e extender with a more
expensive fiber extender in a effort to optically isolate. I don't know
if this will help or not, but don't think that it will hurt. I have
tested is fiber USB extender on a P81 at another facility and it works
just fine. Now ...... was wondering if any knows of a better technology
for extending the USB on a P81? Could a script be written to reconnect
the mouse and keyboard automatically in case they dropped off? Could
wireless mice and keyboards be used? Thanks in advance! Troy L. Brazell
